Did you know that many states boost the deer population for hunting season? 10.9 million deer are killed a year which makes it the biggest portion of hunting. Only 7.1 million small game and migratory birds are hunted a year. Do the advantages of hunting outweigh the many disadvantages? I believe that despite its many advantages the downsides such as not being a valid source of food, promoting killing for pleasure, and not validly fighting overpopulation do not outweigh the advantages and it should

Have you ever wanted to go on a hunting trip? My sister and I have gotten to have this experience! Our dad came with us because we didn't know how to drive and we were too young to hunt for our self. One of my brothers came too! He came to help us unpack and cook for us. We sometimes called him our "Sherpa." We had lots of fun! Last October, my 11-year-old sister and I got drawn for cow elk tags.

Hunting is here to stay whether you are for or against it. So why not produce extra animals, such as deer, to keep the populations up? Doris Lin wrote an article called “Hunting isn’t the Answer to Animal ‘Pests.” When, in fact, it’s not the entire answer but it is part of the solution.

She also makes the point that we are over producing

Throught this journal Zaroff can be characterized as thorough and unempathetic. First off Zaroff studies his guests/prey and learns what he can about them. This is a quote I found from the story proving this, “one small trait of the general's that made Rainsford uncomfortable. Whenever he looked up from his plate, he found the general studying him, appraising him narrowly” (Connell 41). This quote shows that Zaroff watches how people act and think. Zaroff also is very thorough will hunting, because

I do not agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position about permiting the hunting for fun. Actually, I don’t agree with cultures that allow the hunting of species, endangered ones or not. Hunting, in my opinion, is not a nice thing, since it can disturb the hole environment and, hypothetically, could even give an end to some species. But maybe this opinion I have is cultural, too. In my country it’s forbidden to hunt. This way, I grew up learning that this is a not real good thing, and my mind
