I know that there are some of you out there that feel that hunting is ruthless, unethical, inhumane and just plain old mean! Well, maybe so, but I think that there are many more pros for hunting.
I will list some cons from what I’ve heard against hunting and then some pros as how I see it.
Most of these cons have been voiced by the female gender. I believe it is due to the tender caring nature of women, but the more popular theory is due to too many viewings of Bambi!
On the other hand most of the pros have come from some very, very manly men, namely myself and a few others just as manly as I! By the way, I never considered having watched “Man in the Wilderness” as a very young child as having skewed my view on this, rather I see it as having been “survival training” if ever I were mauled by a wounded bear and left for dead!
Before I continue, I’d like to stop for a little Word Time!
GEN.1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, (I like that part!) and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Amen!
Now, for the Cons:
1. It kills poor helpless animals. (Yeah, that are going to die anyway and I don’t think you would say that while eating Peking Duck on your anniversary, now would you?)
2. It’s just an excuse to go out and get drunk and stupid with the guys! (What’s wrong with excuses?)
3. Hunting gear costs too much. (Too much is relevant, Victoria’s Secret can also cost too much!)
Just a small sample of some of the things you might need!
Looks like that is all there is on the Con side. Now to the real reason for this post!
The Pros:
1. The feeling of being one with nature. (Nature of course being God.)
2. Helping to control the over population of particular species. (Just think how overridden our nice little suburbs and cities would be if dangerous, vicious, and wild animals were free to do whatever they so desired, such as live. Thank God for the hunter!)
3. Future survival training. (Someday you are going to need to eat and wish I could hunt!)
4. Bonding time with others of like-mindedness and who have the same goals, even if it is with a few drinks. (This could also be considered engendering unity.)
5. Just seeing these magnificent animals, shows the true wonder of the Lords power. (And being the one to kill it…well…never mind that one.)
6. Hunting is fun. (That’s a real important one!)
7. Hunting is cool. (Another biggie!)
8. Hunting is awesome. (Can’t forget awesome!)
9. Hunting shows just how much of a real man you really are. For real! (Can’t do that too much!)
Wow, three times as many Pros than Cons. So from the looks of things, the Pros so outweigh the Cons.
And just to show you what I mean, here are a few pictures to prove how cool hunting can be. (I hunted these off the internet, but I thought they were cool anyway.)
Would never have thunk it!
Would love to hunt a kitty that size!
What man wouldn’t be happy?
That ain’t no “Bambi” dear!
“I do like colossus eggs and ham” said Sam I am!
Just in case some of you guys don’t think hunting can be breathtakingly awesome just check these out!
The part of the show you’ve all been waiting for!
I would almost consider strapping on a pair of antlers for this!
So, what do you think?
