Get Hunting In Perspective - Sporting Shooters Association Of - Ssaa Org

Critics often argue that hunting is immoral because it requires intentionally inflicting harm on innocent creatures. Even people who are not comfortable extending legal rights to beasts should acknowledge that many animals are sentient—that is, they have the capacity to suffer.

Hunters argue that killing the deer is better than letting them starve to death. Hunters argue that hunting is a tradition, a ritual or a bonding experience. Regarding ethics, hunting proponents argue that killing a deer for food cannot be worse than killing a cow or a chicken.

Hunting a property without permission from the landowner. Taking game before or after legal hunting hours or season dates. Possession of the incorrect firearm or ammunition for the species hunted. Taking more game than allowed by law.

In India, post-independence, hunting was banned by the Government under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, except for specified purposes such as for self-defense, to prevent crop damage, to counter vermin species and for scientific or educational reasons.

Hunters cause injuries, pain and suffering to animals who are not adapted to defend themselves from bullets, traps and other cruel killing devices. Hunting destroys animal families and habitats, and leaves terrified and dependent baby animals behind to starve to death.

Hunting endangers thousands of animal species across the world. Many of them are on the verge of extinction. Explaining with example I may say that tiger eats deer, deer eats grass. If tiger is extinct, how will grass grow, what deer will eat and thus food chain is unbalanced.

Almost 40 percent of hunters slaughter and maim millions of animals on public land every year, and by some estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally. Many animals endure prolonged, painful deaths when they are injured but not killed by hunters.

Hunting also disrupts migration and hibernation, and the campfires, recreational vehicles and trash adversely affect both wildlife and the environment. For animals like wolves, who mate for life and have close-knit family units, hunting can destroy entire communities.

Simply put, killing an animal for sport is animal cruelty. Trophy hunting is killing an animal for the sole purpose of entertainment. Many people who hunt wild animals for trophies do so to hang the animals' bodies on their wall and to pose in photos.
