Myths About Hunting

Hunting Controls the Population

If you ever talk to a hunter about hunting, they think they are helping the animals. You can hear the snobby remark now, "Hunting controls the population". They think they are some kind of hero or animal rights activist. They are not. According to the Animal Liberation Front's website, hunting makes the population larger. When a hunter kills an animal, it creates less competition between  the surviving population of the species, resulting in higher birth rate. Have you ever heard of bear hunting? How about wolf hunting. These are predators that they kill so there can be more "game" for them to kill. If the hunters were really concerned about the population, they would not kill predators or any animal. Let nature run on its own. And, if you think about it, humans are extremely overpopulated. We started out with not even 100.000 humans and stayed that way for a while. Now we have over 7 billion humans. You don't see us killing humans for "populatin control". Hunters are wrong. They think they are doing animals a favor by killing them. They should do them a favor and accidentally point the gun the other way when they hunt.
