Quote by: Matt The difference between a wolf killing an animal and a human killing an animal: A) One needs the food, and one doesn't B) One is actually hunting, while the other hops out of the back of a truck and shoots an animal with a non natural, non 'fair' item.

Again, that makes no difference to the animal being killed. You're pretty much confirming my suspicion that anti-hunting advocates are not animal rights activists, but intolerant, moralising fascists.

Quote by: Matt Most is done with guns.

Right, so most is done with guns and some of the hunting done with guns may be done in a cruel fashion. That's a long way from convincing me that all hunting should be banned.

Quote by: Matt Yes, one is needed (wolf killing prey), and one is not (human killing animal). When killing (I will refrain from the word murdering) is not needed, why do it? Just for some enjoyment...not a good enough reason.

Like you yourself said, to deal with overpopulation problems.

Quote by: Matt I will refrain from the word murdering

Good, because you would be incorrect in using it.

Quote by: Matt Again, one needs to kill to live, and one doesn't.

What difference does this make to the animal being killed? It seems like this has nothing to do with protecting animals from suffering and everything to do with your subjective notions of what humans should and should not find enjoyable.

Quote by: Matt Humans are causing an overpopulation,

North America doesn't suffer from overpopulation.

Quote by: Matt so why not kill the ones who can't argue about being killed?

The three reasons previously stated.

Quote by: Matt If a mother deer was killed, the baby would suffer

No more than it would when the exploding deer populaton consumes all the resources and it starves to death.

Quote by: Matt Wolves, bears, cougars, ect. don't have an overpopulation, cougars and wolves were almost killed off of most of the USA.

No one is talking about hunting wolves and cougars.
