How do you feel about animals being killed

Question

for easier understanding I'm going to refer to sharks. how do you feel about people killing sharks that become rouge, through attacking a human enjoying the taste of them then sticking around at the beach for more.

its not like its the sharks fault, its just looking for food, after all we did enter the ocean which is the sharks home and territory.

im not saying sharks are man eaters, often in attacks they spit out the victim because they hate the taste, thats why rouge sharks are rare, just didnt what to give them the wrong view

Answer 1

Sharks need to be killed after attacking a person, for a few reasons.

1) We don't tolerate animals that kill us.

2) Seals are sharks natural food.

3) If a shark can't catch a seal then it's really old and you're actually doing the animal a favour.

As to animals in general being killed, it depends on the animal, if it's a food animal, vermin effecting our food supply, or for lab purposes, then I have no issue with their humane dispatching.

Any other reason is simply not necessary.

Answer 2

As long as the animal serves a purpose in it's death I'm ok with it.  I am not ok with random killing.

Answer 3

Humans are WAY, WAY TOO CRUEL to KILL ANIMALS. I strongly protest that they can't continue to kill them.

Answer 4

Sometimes, to save many people you have to kill one animal. That's how it is mate; in that situation I'm okay with it, especially if it's a quick clean death.

Answer 5

When it comes to your life, you would think you are entitled to do what it takes to save it. Yes, its not the sharks fault .. and the people killing rogue sharks aren't doing it for fun .. its for thiers and everyone elses safety.

Answer 6

its wrong to kill any animal.

Answer 7

cruel..  

Answer 8

love it  

Answer 9

I think it's wrong to kill the shark, like you said, It was just looking for food.

Answer 10

Viruses are living creatures too, but they threaten us, so we respond. That sort of thing does not bother me as much as killing for the thrill of it, i.e. "big game hunting"

Answer 11

how could you ask that!? O_O shame on you!

i find it cruel. if you do that......i hope you come back as a shark and get knocked over your head......nevermind, i don't wish that.

still! thats a rude thing to ask.

Answer 12

Most people simply turn their head to the truths of animal slaughtering. People cringe at photos or footage of actual slaughter, but then ignore it and pick up a handburger. I decided to stop that and became vegan, and now feel much better now that i'm not consenting to it through eating the stuff.

Answer 13

Only if we are actively being attacked.  Otherwise we have no more right to kill them as they have the right to kill humans.

Answer 14

I agree with you totally. We are living in a world which primarily belongs to animals and is dominated by them as well. Their world and our worlds are different. We should be more careful and respectful of their territories.

Unless and until animals are diseased and cannot be treated or there is no other alternative only then they should be killed

Hunting a maneater should be a last resort if all attempts have failed.

Killing for fun, leisure, sports, food should be banned.  

Answer 15

who cares!

its how its been done since the start of time

if animals or lower species were not killed for survival or food none of you noobs would even be here

Answer 16

I can understand killing the animal that attack. We are able to track and kill the animal that attacked someone one on land pretty easily. However, when it comes to sharks it hard to, if possible at all, to track down the shark that attacked. So after a shark attack people go out and start killing sharks, not just the shark that attacked.

Answer 17

It's simply a part of nature. If someone hates seeing animals killed so much, what will he do to stop lions from killing antelopes, killer whales and sharks from killing many types of sea life, etc.? Your reasoning is flawed. Humans have a right to enter the ocean and to kill sharks that try to kill them. Would you let a shark eat you? Humans are doing what they are born to do also if they defend themselves against attacks from fellow humans, sharks or any other creatures. This essay makes no sense whatsoever. It sounds like mindless PETA rhetoric.

Answer 18

In some ways, I can understand that people kill them. It is for safety. On the other hand, most people should know they are taking that caution by being that far into the ocean.

An alternative for water fun is a lake!

Answer 19

I think it is very stupid that they would kill sharks becasue they are attacking humans who swim in their waters. It's natural instinct they are not criminals. Us humans need to be more careful, we share this planet with animals we dont own it to ourselves.  

Answer 20

i hate seeing animals get killed
