What if there was someone higher on the food chain who hunted men. Would you say the same thing. Sorry we are not god. Let animals do what they have been doing for centuries without our interference

We have been killing animals for centuries. Pre ting that humans are not part of the natural order of things is naive.

grow up. they are game animals, and the government issues licenses for hunting such animals. you might think that these animals are being hunted to extinction, but you would be wrong. giraffe herds are healthy right now, and predator herds are also healthy. hunting allows a balance in nature to be maintained. you might want to actually check into it, if only for your own education, rather than run solely on emotion.

there are animals that hunt man, ever hear of sharks? and how about bears, usually grizzly, kodiak, and polar bears. also have you ever heard of man eating tigers and lions? large predators hunt man as well as their normal diet.

man is part of the food chain just like deer and other game animals. man has been hunting these animals for tens of thousands of years. and if you were to actually read the bible, assuming you believe in the word of god, you would find that man was given dominion over the animals.

if you dont like hunting, then dont participate. but dont prevent others from going out hunting is they so choose. i grant that we dont have to go out and hunt for our dinner anymore, but there are still people that do put food on the table through hunting.

my grandfather for instance put food on the table. he also donated the excess meat to the church and other institutions to aid in feeding the homeless.

Sorry, the world does NOT revolve around "what if's"

"what if" accomplishes absolutely nothing, as a species there isn't anything higher on the food chain today. Once upon a time there were and humans out competed them. People are animals too and have been hunting other animals for millions of years and being able to successfully hunt has been a prized skill for millions of years - except for smug self righteous modern urbanites came on the scene.

What if we actually live in the Matrix, and none of these are real?

LOL, what if....

Well, what if:

Sometimes, I think to myself, "Do I really want a beer." And then I remember there's a super volcano under Yellowstone that is 40,000 years overdue and when it erupts it could potentially cover most of North America in ash and create a volcanic winter that kills half the world's population, and I'm like, "heck, yeah, I want a beer."

How is that in any worse than anything?

I can't imagine why people salivate and are ready to canonize those that use high-tech weapons and gadgets to kill an animal. Not very impressive-do it with just your body and wits-the same as the animals- and that would be very impressive.
But to each their fetish- so many here say if you put stuff out on social media, be prepared for possible backlash.
Have you hunted in your life? Try to hike through the wilderness and come back and tell me it's not sports again.

Now if the "hunters", sitting behind a computer screen with a box of donuts in hand, kill animals by a push of a button, that may not be classified as sports but is there anything wrong with that?

Animal cruelty is not a crime some countries, does that make it right? Some of our more twisted folks here would seem to think so. Speaks to their mindset.

Apparently here too, only anti-hunters need to mind their own business, only yes-people are allowed to have valid opinions
Absolutely! The whole ridiculous concept of animal cruelty is based on the human arrogance of meddling with nature - we decide which animal is more equal than others.

Nobody would give a fart if a rat was killed!

Human interference with animals has existed since the beginning of time. We depend on animals to survive and to evolve even today.

Here's a great article written by Sabrina Corgatelli's boyfriend.

https://www.facebook.com/sabrina.cor...07983922454941

For those anti-hunting people who have never hunted, never set foot on Africa or outside of their room, never contributed anything except for ignorant internet comment, I'd say go see the animals you want to protect, understand how things work and come back teach us what you have learned. Until then, shut the F up!
