[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6387871, member: 611275"] Food, sport, culture, etc. Believe it or not, there are people in this country that rely on hunting in order to feed their families. Also, hunting can be a cultural thing. Hunting is a way of life for many people in rural areas, and to take that away from them or argue against it is ignorant. Of coarse there are poachers who kill animals for no good reason at all, and those people are no better than Mike Vick. But the overwhelming majority of hunters and fisherman kill for a purpose. Also, hunting keeps the numbers of certain animals in check. For example, if deer hunting were outlawed, the deer population would explode. This would lead to much starvation and more deer being killed on highways. I should probably re-phrase my "educate yourself" statement, so here goes; Please educate yourself to the specifics of a topic before you start a debate. Is that better? [/QUOTE]
