Is hunting on a full stomach moral?

[Gabu]

Oh, and those that oppose hunting as a sport:  I hope you hit several deer with your car and that they cause damage to $1 less than your deductible several times in one year.  You can pay for your irrational fear of hunting.

I don't care about hunting if it actually has a purpose (like reducing the numbers of a certain animal that's beginning to take over).  It's when it's just killing animals for no reason other than for the sake of killing animals that I don't like it.

[Speed of Sound]

Its.....stupid. Does that count?

[John Dibble]

Meh. So long as you eat what you kill, it's not much different from slaughtering a cow.

[Person Man]

Yes. People save food for a future date. Animals do that, too.

This thread is inexplicable.

Hunting is far preferable morally than the way most Americans get their food: via factory farms.

Yeah but in those cases the Untouchables (Mexicans) do the slauthering for you.

People don't like killing defenseless animals but they don't care about killing defenseless babies in abortion.

You don't seem to have a problem killing defenseless babies if their father was a rapist.  Why the double standard?

You make an excellent point, having exceptions to abortion is ridiculous.  However, this has nothing to do with the fact that hunting in all instances is moral.  A better debate question would be whether you need an AK-47 to hunt deer.

I think he's saying that it's an odd standard to find killing a fetus reprehensible, while an animal is fine, because they are both more primitive forms of life.  Or something like that.

It's not necessarily that it's a double standard.  It's more that you don't question why you are so diametrically different on the two issues.  You just take it for granted.

It is "moral" but if one were to eat too much it might be rather uncomfortable, when hunting I have been in the prone position several times and I could say that if I had eaten to capacity I might have been considerably unconfortable.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I can still remember the Gunny instructing us in using the prone position.
