Hunting: Pros and Cons
With the number of
editorials in recent days
speaking for and against the
sport of hunting, I’d like to
take a few minutes and
hopefully offer an objective
viewpoint from one who is
concerned about the con
servation of our wildlife.
To take the stand of the
anti-hunter is a very popular
and increasingly safe
viewpoint in light of the
increasing concern and
interest generated in ecology
and conservation. Those who
subscribe to this vein of
reasoning are not without
their reasonable convictions.
Hunting is killing - make no
bones about it! This is a one
sided confrontation in that
the animals and birds are
defenseless to strike back.
They have only their God-

given natural instincts for
escape and survival to
protect them. Those who
proclaim that the only way
this can be considered a
sport is to arm the game with
firearms and ammunition
and “may the best man
win”, are not very far from
the truth. How easy it is to
win a football game when the
other team never gets the
ball; same reasoning, dif
ferent perspective.
Yes, it would appear that
hunters are monsters, blood
thirsty ego maniacs who live
only for those few days in the
fall to vent all the
frustrations of a year on poor
innocent non-understanding
wildlife. Surely no such
person could have an ounce
of integrity or self-respect
within his soul!
On the other hand (and
there are always two sides to
a story). Hunters can safely
counter attact the standpoint
that animals always took

care of themselves before
man even appeared on the
face of the earth. In those
times the animals were the
rulers of the earth and their
numbers flourished and yet
there was plenty for all.
Since the advent of
civilization and the ensuing
growth and development of
cities, shopping malls, in
dustries and an ever in
creasing network of high
ways, flyways and byways,
the space remaining for
wildlife has just as rapidly
decreased. To put it in
simple language there just
isn’t the room available
there once was. Wildlife need
to have a controlled harvest
season to keep their numbers
to a manageable healthful
figure. Without a hunting
season of small game and
deer the wildlife would grow
to such vast numbers that
they would begin to diminish
the food supply available
resulting in starvations,
disease and a more lingering
painful death than is felt by
the marksman of our hun
ters.
We as an intelligent people
recognized and responded to
a growing human population
by supporting various
population growth retarda
nts. We must surely be able
to recognize the same
potential population crises
with wildlife if they are left
unchecked. Hunting would
appear to be the sanest,
simplest conservation and
preservation method
available to us at this time.
For those who subscribe to
non-hunting my advise
would be: One, don’t hunt,
but remember that hunting
is a valid, effective means of
conserving remaining
wildlife species. For those -
who are avid hunters:
May I remind you to keep the
hunting laws and limits in
mind. They are designed to
be fair to everyone-no need
to be greedy. And use
common sense when him
ting-be sure of what you see
■not what you want to see.
