Are People Who Hunt For Fun Degenerates?

[Flat-Antelope7927]

Soyboys who are afraid to actually hunt like real men, especially if they're feminized European "men", need to just stick to videogames and cartoon Japanese porn. Let me guess, the "men" on here who are against hunting are all vegan European "men" who drink soylent and think that eating meat and being a normal heterosexual male is wrong, too.

I think what the issue is here is that Cornfed doesn't see the nuances of my argument. I've already stated that even though I don't contribute to industrial farming by choosing not to eat meat, I do not have any moral issue with people hunting animals for food. I also do not have an issue with pest control or environmental culls which can sometimes be necessary to restore the equilibrium.

Isn't meat an important part of human diet? I mean I find a lot of the practices in industrial farming absolutely awful, don't get me wrong. But only hunting for our meat or buying organic products exclusively is super expensive. I understand your position from a moral perspective but it doesn't seem very practical or realistic for most people. And then there are things like milk and cheese which are, also, a product of industrial farming. The only option to fully be free of industrial farming is to adopt a vegan diet, which I've heard some not-so-positive things about.

If they are killing the animals at an unsustainable rate so future generations won't get the same opportunity then of course that is bad and they are behaving like common boomers. I assume though that these are part of conservation-minded culls that would happen anyway and the hunters just provide additional funding, which is good. For example, in NZ, international hunters of Himalayan Tahr put money into the economy and provide a reason to keep a population of these animals alive that are threatened in their natural habitat and provide a cultural resource to locals, whereas they would otherwise likely be eradicated by the government. Everyone is a winner.

Again, I have nothing to object with your argument above. Regulated hunting is the best, if not only, way forward. If you want to hunt one specimen of wild animal, be prepared to put back into the economy what is required for two specimens of the same animal to be bred, grow up and thrive. I am not an expert here but I did hear that many hunting reserves have a hefty membership tag for precisely that reason: the local government compel them to ensure that the species is protected and the kill rate is never above their replacement rate in their natural habitat.

Not if they plan to eat the meat or are hunting for an animal that is potentially dangerous or a serious nuisance (e.g. foxes that eat hens, lions that eat children.) Enjoying hunting doesn't make it wrong.

Or in the NZ context it would be desirable if foreign rich tossers had to do that so that locals could have a free community resource. The good thing about NZ is that game animals proliferate like vermin.
