What is your attitude towards hunting?
this answer is going to be a long one, buckle up LOL
I'm not a fan, and I personally would never do it,,,,,but I also understand that it's necessary to keep certain populations of animals from destroying their ecosystems ): hunting also funds conservation through licensing here in the united states so it's pretty important.
my uncle is a hunter and he definitely helped to form my opinions about hunting over the years. he's one of very few people certified to teach the required hunting and trapping courses in his state, and he works hard to do the right thing for the environment and teach others the same. he's also a big supporter of not wasting any part of the animal. I can respect that a lot, even if I don't personally agree with taking the lives of animals in the first place. he knows his stuff and does it for the right reasons.
I DEFINITELY don't condone hunting endangered animals since we should be working to protect them, and I don't support hunting illegally. don't hunt without licenses in areas that require them, on land that you're not supposed to be on, or for animals you shouldn't be taking. do it right if you're going to do it at all.
I do support hunting specific animals with fair chase - ones that lack natural predators and whose populations would explode otherwise. if I remember right,,,,,there was one year here in ohio where the deer population exploded and it was causing massive issues. in cases like that, we NEED hunting to counter those population booms, otherwise the ecosystems can fail.
just,,,,,,,don't hunt or graphically describe hunting around me, since I feel pretty uncomfortable with animals dying and I'd much rather be in ignorant bliss <":
