What do you think of sport hunting?

[goti71]

Over here we have rich toffs on their horses chasing a little fox through the countryside with a pack of wild hounds ready to rip it apart all in the name of sport and culture.

That's even "disgusting'er" than bullfighting (the latter at least takes balls and skill, even though I'm against it). I can't see the difference between the picture above and pitting two dogs against each other.

I never hunted, although I used to go spearfishing a few years ago, but to me hunting (as spearfishing) would require at least three conditions:

1. A considerable degree of difficulty (no pompous tourists on pay-hunt safaris).
2. What you catch is edible and you actually intend to eat it.

and 3: it's not an endangered species.

Were foxes classed as vermin over there?

They are here,you can kill em, they even have bounties at times in some areas.

I'm in Spain. They usually issue licenses to cull fox and wild boar populations. Boars cause quite a few road accidents in my area.

If there's one thing that gives me great pleasure it's seeing those Spanish bullfighting cocksuckers get a horn up their ass or into their heads.

I don't take it personally against my compatriots; you have to admire their balls and skill for getting in there (boxing fans would relate to that), even though that stuff shouldn't be allowed at all.

I wouldn't consider them cocksuckers either. It's just a game deeply rooted in our South that you have to get rid of by educating people.

I don't admire the "balls" and "skill" of anyone doing something shitty. I think they are bunch of sissy savages.

Hunting for sport no, for food yes
How can you guys be so cruel. Fine then, look at what the world is coming too.

Population control is also a reason to hunt. Coyotes are becoming a bigger issue in the Southeast and sometimes there are so many you have to cull a few to save other animal populations.

Does anyone think betting on animals in a (sport) environment is okay?
I wasn't aware greyhounds were abused so bad in racing. Looking for a bus ticket on greyhound-but saw this link below it.

Boars can do big damage. The problem in the Southern United States is a lot of hog farms have escapees and those hogs that escape turn feral in a matter of days, they develop tusks and coarse hair and they are constantly eating and digging up land. The bad thing about the formerly domestic hogs is they are usually really really big.

Hunters will lose dogs hunting boar, that is just a fact of life regardless of if you put safety vests on your dogs too. Those hogs gore and bite and they are mean as fuck.

God damn I didn't know that. Yeah wild boars are pretty nasty. I saw a couple of hunting videos years ago of samoans in hawaii who hunted them with knives. Crazy stuff
