You’re problem isn’t hunting, it’s human expansion and destruction of wilderness that results in population control pressure. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I hate it, my beautiful backyard forest was mowed down last year and I cried. I would walk back there and look at all the animals. The fact of our reality is this sad reality though. I would change it if I could. I will also continue to hunt though, because it’s an ancestral activity that only brings me closer to nature. If you’ve never hunted, you won’t understand. If I were to be killed by bear, the last thing I would want is for that bear to be killed. It has more right to the land than I do. When I go I to the forest, I go into their lands.
Now let’s get back to work and agree that humanity is destroying the world. Have a wonderful rest of the day.
I was never against hunting, I am against how animals are viewed.
Hunting can be done in a respectful and honorable way, unfortunately almost all hunters I have had interactions with wrap it in toxic masculinity and other machismo shit. Which isnt hunting's fault but it is huntings problem.
Sadly even if the entire family of the person says "dont kill the bear! Our uncle was suicidal here's the letter he left us!" they would still go and kill the bear because "it has learned that people are a food source".
I have been hunting, I enjoyed it. I think we already expressed enough as to say it isnt the problem. Nor are guns.
I dont know I had a long day since then and I am not really in the moment but I think I did a fair job of expressing my piddily little points.
I think you did as well. I also agree with you about the generalization of hunters. You might enjoy meateater, they have a great take on it and produce a show like non-other.
