I dont see how a man/woman with a weapon can call shooting little fluffy animals a sport.
Sport is or should be competition between two willing and equally matched paticipants.
If the so called 'hunters' want sport then they should go into a forest each with a gun and shoot at each other. Thats a sport which I'd support.

Yes you cant change an air head can you? You've obviously been brainwashed from birth into thinking causing another living creature pain and fear s ok.
I have absolutely no time for people like you and I dont want to even try and be polite to you because quite frankly I find your 'entertainment' of murdering innocent little fluffy animals sickening.

Gonzo, are you a vegetarian?

Gonzo Nov, 09 2009 at 05:06 AM

No im not, but if you've read what ive written what im saying has nothing to do with eating meat. All animals eat other animals (or most) what I have a problem is is idiots with guns hunting things in the name of sport. That's what's wrong with it.

Hunting Is a sport, fishing Is a sport... If on sport center they put the world series of poker, than hunting and fishing Is definitely a sport =)

Its not as easy as people that dont hunt assume it is. Thats why most people pay farmers to kill animals.

Something is only a "sport." when both parties involved have to chance to partake, play and win. How does getting shot in the head imply sport?

Hunting is hunting... The other party involved... Is literally like a deer in the headlights.

I can't convince any of the hunters I know that it's not a sport.

I think that hunting could be a little more fair and manly and than it would be more sportsmanlike. A real hunt to me involves total submersion in the wild. Just the clothes on your back and maybe a knife. You find the animal, and you wrestle it to death and eat/use every part of it.

More fair that way, and that's coming from someone who owns guns.

Surely it could only be called a sport if both sides were equally equipped; Therefore, it isn't a sport until the animals have guns too.

Depends on which side of the gun you're on, doesn't it?

Actualy, you are! High tech rod, reel line and lures maybe a fish finder. Sound more skewed to me! (B.T.W. I do both) We also cause more indiscriminate suffering as anglers than hunters.

Scubabob Nov, 08 2009 at 08:52 AM

High tech rod and reel? You really are assuming a little much aren't you? At least the trout I sometimes fish for have a choice. It's a little difficult employing a fish finder in a shallow stream...tried it? You're out there blasting away with a scoped rifle? I suppose you never heard of barbless hooks. Is there such a thing as catch and release deer shot in the head or heart...or worse...a wounded one? Go troll someone else.

You ae entiteled to your opinion, but for me, I can only be amazed that you can be as biased and unrealistic!

Where is the sport???

If it were humans they were shooting would it be called sport? NO!

Its a power trip of some inadequate humans over a defenceless species.

If the animals were able to shoot back, then that would be more sporting

Its killing/murder!!!

Right you are! That's why we (except prominent republicans) shoot animals instead of each other!

i would say that hunting is a sport..lets take forexample africa,there when u hunt you run miles,and miles without water and its a very good training..you are on the otherside hunting for food but also training..i say if you are not happy with the way your body is,and if you feel that you are big then take a trip to africa..there, in one ore two months you will be slim like hell..so yes hunting is a sport..
peace=)
