Why? Why do people need to hunt?
No one needs to hunt. Some just find it to be an enjoyable passtime.

It isn't needed and in some cases it can be very cruel. And the whole population control debate....if people would actually start re-introducing natural predators (meaning bears, wolves, cougars, wolverines, and even lynxes or bobcats)
So your objection to hunting is that it's cruel, and your alternative to it is to have the animals in question torn apart by predators?

That's one way of doing it. But why deny people the enjoyment they get from hunting?
