Against-Hunting

Should add my journal to this group:

Hunting, Conservation, and PoachingIn this journal I will be discussing hunting, how it doesn't help conservation, and the affects of poaching on wildlife. I won't be discussing the causes of poaching, for that will be in another journal. Humans don't need to eat animals and it harms our bodies, but that will be discussed in detail in another journal.
Hunting of various animals, from deer, bison, wolves, bears, foxes, whales, dolphins, sharks, tigers, lions, rhinos, giraffes, etc. is often done out of the desire of fun and "bragging rights." Modern day hunting is no longer concerned about survival or a need. the act of hunting is actually doing more harm than good. While some species of animals are overpopulated, such as white tailed deer in Northern America, hunting these animals is actually doing the opposite of population control.
While ensuring populations do not get out of control, such as human overpo

I only support hunting if the method is humane and that the carcass is used. Trophy hunting and poaching however is a despicable act, especially when it's being done by rich people in a country filled with poverty and where they often have to depend on rare animals to bring the money in. It really makes me sick how entitled the human race can be sometimes

I have also been signing petitions to keep fox hunting banned since our Tory government is SO desperate to bring it back. They claim to love animals but instead of spending their money on animal welfare, they have used it to try and bring back a 'sport' where a lot of foxes and dogs are killed in horrible ways (the hounds are killed when they are no longer of use and the terriers often suffer horrific injuries when they are forced to go down the hole).

So I hope you can accept me into the group. While I support hunting if it's done sensibly, it makes me mad when people think they can do whatever the hell they want without consequence.

Thank you very much for the request, and I myself would like to join. I am against hunting, certainly in 1st and 2nd world countries.
