Question: Is HUNTING cruel!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

only if you think its cruel to take another beings life, supposedly for food, although its a fact that humans dont need meat!. i think i know what im talking about, im a bodybuilder who eats nothing but raw fruits and veggies!. its cruel and stupid to kill an animal, just like its cruel and stupid to kill a person!. anyone who tells you different is WRONGWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hunting is not cruel for the following reasons:
Food - It's crucial for many people around the world (and use to be in America years ago) to hunt for their food!. It's just a basic part of survival!.
Sport - It's needed as a form of population control!. I do not agree in hunting an animal outside it's season because it could lead that animal to becoming extinct!.

However, if you're killing an animal for the heck of it, I do not agree with that!. At least do something with the carcass!. Otherwise it was a life taken for no reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hunting is not cruel, unless you kill to sell or for sport!. also the way you kill, try to cause the less pain as possible!. An animal is giving you it's body least you can do is not put it through too much suffering!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not when its done properly and when you are going to eat the meat!. Cruel in my book would seem more appropriate as to how slaughter houses operate for beef, cut their throats and let them bleed out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
