Question

Why do you think hunters are so mean? at times to anti-hunters like me?

Answer 1

hunting is actually good for the enviroment in someway did you know the deer populations at an all time high? even before man came the numbers were not this high! this is causing nutritional defficiencies which cause us to have spikes! by shooting one deer we are increasing the chances that another will get enough nutrition to grow a nice rack and have healthy babies! a spike wont attract a many girl as that lively 12 point buck. and point in fact most of my hunter buddies dont even hunt ironically they take a camera into the blind and film and may shoot one deer a year if that. the state can extend doe season and allow the shooting of spikes now because there are just to many. and they have.

Answer 2

They  (and by 'they', I mean 'we') are probably sick of some of the more ignorant anti-hunters and the garbage they spew.

Answer 3

People like you need to leave the hunters alone because hunting is a regular sport like baseball or basketball.If people didn't hunt,people like you would be scared to walk out of your house and see a bear or a deer.The world would be overpopulated with all the hunted wild animals.If you are so against hunting then don't go in the hunting category and let them be.They are mean to "anti" hunters like you because they don't go into your category and terroize you about liking a sport or hobby.So I ask you,please stop going to the hunting category and please stop assuming that hunters are mean because they aren't they are average working people who sometimes work all day long and they just want to go out after work or early in the morning on a fall day and do something they enjoy.The object of the sport is not to kill everything you see because most hunters are respectful and don't shoot does or fawns.The object is to relax in the woods and if you see a 12 pointer buck then shoot it with a bow and arrow.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

i dont like hunters either you might as well go shoot some kids in the playground. but they think their doing something good cause they like doing it and when someone tells them what their doing is wrong they think they need to stand up for themselves in a very negative way

Answer 5

Because anti hunting people think emotionally not rationally. The anti crowd doesn't bother to learn about how nature works. They hope for a Disneyland world where nothing needs to eat and everything lives forever. Man has screwed the balance of nature up by eliminating top and middle level predators,and without them prey animals don't thrive. Prey animals NEED predators to stay healthy. You will never understand.

Answer 6

I do not understand your question! I'm sorry, but can you please reword that?

Answer 7

Because you violate yahoos terms of use by coming into the hunting section to harrass us. Let me ask you something dear Molly, how much money have you contributed, in round numbers, to conservation? I can tell you how much I have contributed, in round numbers, in my over 30 years of hunting. I will be willing to bet you double what my contributions are that hunters have donated more than antis ever thought about.

Hunting is not against the law, your opinion just happens to differ from ours, what gives you the right to tell millions of hunters they are wrong when the law says we aren't? I don't happen to agree with a lot of things that are legal in the USA, but I will NEVER impose my opinion on others simply because I don't agree with  them, you need to learn the same respect.

I want to thank you for taking me off ignore, open dialogue is crucial to understanding other points of view. I'll apologise to you also for 'threatening" wolves, that's not going to happen Molly, I have no desire to hunt wolves, but your constant harrassment of hunters in the approved hunting section makes myself and many others very angry, simply because you show NO respect by coming there to impose your opinion on others.

Have a wolfy day :-)

Answer 8

I don't understand what you mean. Like their attitude? Well, most hunters aren't that bad. They see what they do realistically, and try to be as humane as possible out in the field.

However, as an animal activist I know there are hunters out there who try to make the experience as painful as possible for the animal, and THAT should be against the law.

Answer 9

Looks like there are many here who are Pro-Hunters.

The hunters who are so mean to anti-hunters must be the one's who are hunting for lots of money & there might be lot at stake.Hunters dealing in poaching must be the one's who are mean because they don't want to get caught.

On the other hand hunting is a very old sports and there are many who don't like hunting to be stopped because it is a tradition for them. So they don't like any kind of change because it interferes with their hobby.

The rising anti hunting attitude towards has also resulted in hunters having a harsh attitude towards those who oppose it.

There are always options to Hunting. Example -There are always alternatives to handle the excess population of animals in certain area like giving them to zoos which don't have them, relocate them where they are less in numbers or give them to zoos who require meat for their animals etc. etc.

ISN'T THIS MANAGEMENT ???

Those who are dependent on it for living can also be given jobs as trackers or guides for jungle tours as they have lots of field experience.

I do not know if hunters can be good because after all they are taking lives of living creatures which is a sin.

IF YOU CANNOT GIVE LIVE TO SOMEONE

THEN

HOW CAN YOU TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE ???

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

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

Hunting for fun, leisure, sports should be banned.

My comments will not appeal to many but i think hunting be it for leisure, food, medicines, skin etc. has taken a Toll on so many species - DO WE STILL NEED TO HUNT ??

Answer 10

Because They Put Hunting Up There As A Hobbie And Anti-Hunters Try To Make Hunting A Law So It's Like Cutting You Off One Of Your Hobbies And Would You Like People To Do That to You?

Answer 11

Hunters?  You mean like the Inuit.  Out there in there in the cold and freezing wind trying to get his family food.  

People are mean, not hunters.  Hunters as a group don't have characteristic such a meanness or goodness.  They have demographic or statistics.  They spend money, buy certain things.  Contribute to the welfare of wildlife.  Do you?  Do you make an annual contribution to the welfare of wildlife?

Think about what you are saying.  Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Edit:  It appears broke has forgotten one of the basic of freedom.  That would be freedom of speech, self expression.  That person has just as much right to their ideas, opinion, feeling and views as you do.  Saying such does not make it harassment.  Also, you don't own anything in any forum.  You are no better than anyone else.  It is YOU that needs to read the Community Guidelines.
