    Hunting is the process of killing or catching wild animals.

    It
    is a subject of arguable morality. While some hunters hold a
    deep respect for the animals and try to make the killing
    process as quick as possible and painless, other hunters
    may not be as considerate towards animals. Supporters
    claim that hunting is necessary to prevent overpopulation,
    whereas opponents believe that killing and hunting is
    morally wrong.

    First of all, hunting keeps animal populations under control,


    and prevents overpopulation. If there are too many animals
    in a certain territory, over time they will consume the
    territory of recourses, for instance, water and food, which
    means that there is a high possibility that this will lead to
    starvation, diseases and illnesses.

    …However, opponents of hunting claim that the hunters


    may use unethical means to kill. Many hunters practice
    harmful hunting methods such as trophy hunting and bow-
    hunting.

    Trophy hunting is a type of hunting that involves killing wild


    animals, and parts of the slain animal may be kept as a
    trophy.

    Often these wild animals are endangered species, for


    example, polar bears, rhinoceros, tigers, gorillas, and other
    species. Bow-hunting is shooting animals with bows, very
    often animals shot with a bow die painfully and slowly.
    Secondly, the supporters of hunting, especially sport
    hunting, maintains that the hunting involves fair chaise –
    either the animal will be killed, or it will run away.

    According to Boone and Crocket: “”Fair Chase” is the


    original code of conduct first used by Boone and Crockett
    Club members in the early 1890s.
    [… ] It was defined as the ethical, sportsmanlike, lawful
    pursuit, and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North
    American big game animal in a manner that does not give
    the hunter an improper advantage over such animals. ”[1]
    On the other hand, the supporters of hunting believe that
    also hounding includes fair chase, supporters strongly
    disagree.

    Hounding involves using hound dogs, equipped with such


    devices as high technology radio collars and GPS, to chase
    down wild animals, there is nothing fair about dogs chasing
    a frightened wild animal for miles to the point of exhaustion.
    In addition hounds may also injure an animal that was not
    the target, such as pets and farm animals. The fact that
    hunters use weapons and high technology devices to chase
    weaponless animal, contradicts fair chase. You can read
    argumentative essay examples.

    All things considered, hunting is necessary to prevent


    overpopulation, it is supportable if hunters respect nature –
    do not kill only for a thrill. It is my belief that hunting should
    not be practiced as a sport, it is harmful and unsupportable.
    It is disrespectful towards animals – they are killed because
    of the vanity of people, it is very inconsiderate, because
    many species are endangered. | |[1]“Why A Website On
