The most humane way to harvest meat is hunting. Its the ultimate free range. So if you eat meat you can't hate hunters. Think of how beautiful a life a wild deer has vs a farm raised pig or chicken. Plus hunters are notorious for using every possible part of their kill. I promise you that deer's hide is sent to a leather tanner, all the meat is used, etc etc. Hunting just to kill though....that's sick.

Completely agree, as someone who shoots regularly and who works in the beef and lamb industry the difference is significant. I have seen lambs and cattle arriving at slaughterhouses in awful conditions by a farmer who is under paid and over worked. Hunting and processing your meat this way is by far the more natural and humane way, the beasts are allowed to roam free and every part of the animal is utilised, not thrown away due to low market demand as I see most days.

Totally agree, some commercial farming practices are really abhorrent. I don’t hunt myself although always fancied it, have to make do with a known farmer who does meat boxes. At least I know where the meat comes from and I trust them.

For those who think this is evil and sick, think about it more than what you just see. Deer numbers are soaring as there are no predators to hunt them anymore. Hunting deer is beneficial for humans and the deer population. Controlling the hunt respectfully and butchering the beautiful animal for the healthiest meat in the world for humans to consume is totally fine with me. I'd do that job anyway.

I most likely killed that deer with my ignorance and good intentions. There's nothing wrong with hunting.

Why did you put a graphic content warning on this video where some deer are getting skinned and prepared to eat, but not the Syria videos, some of which contain shots of children with their stomachs literally sliced open by shrapnel with their guts spilling out? Not that I'm offended or anything, I just think it's weird that you apparently think the deer skinning is the more disturbing of the two things.

ironic thing is this kid is calling it murder and savage but its more ethical than keeping thousands of animals locked up in a processing plant their whole life in small pins waiting to be slaughtered. As long as you use the meat of the animal you killed, all is well. If you dont, then that's just horrible

@ITSbigwillystyle 11 жыл бұрын

I don't disagree with eating meat or killing animals for food, but your reasoning is kind of stupid. Where do you draw the line on what is "just another organism" that's ok to kill? Is it the intelligence factor? Or maybe it's the fact us humans look the same and we can empathize with each other easier. You can't equate an animal such as a deer with a bacterium, that's just absurd. Even our ancestors treated the animal with respect, they used all of it and wasted nothing.

@Dodgybackjack 11 жыл бұрын

Yup! From the size it can only be either Red, Fallow, or Roe deer (The 3 largest of our 6 wild species) The hind (female) red deer have a larger creamier coloured bottom with an overhanging tail, whereas a Roe deer has a smaller in size white shaped bottom. Then the easiest way to distinguish between Red and Fallow deer, a fallow deer hide will have loads of white spots whereas a Red deer has a generally uniform colour.

There's a difference between accidentally causing grief and ruining someone's life. The baby won't have a good life. You're argument is entirely invalid and you're making really awful, unrelated analogies. The baby can't feel so it's better to end it's life then and there rather than making it grow up in a struggling household and for the mother's life to also be ruined by it. Who are you to say that someone can't control their own body?

I don't understand why people are against this.. They're doing this to preserve the ecosystem. Furthermore, buying and eating meat from some supermarket is actually MUCH MUCH worse. The animals had a horrible life (battery farmed), and were most probably killed very inhumanely... Claiming this hunting shown is wrong is in my opinion extremely hypocritical... I would actually not mind going on one of these hunts, I would most probably develop a deeper respect for the things I eat...

Just pointing out, not trying to offend you, but that's actually the point of the cull, and why it happens at that time of year. In many Scottish Ecosystems, caribou have no natural predators (if you disclude man), so without the annual cull, caribou population gets too large, which is bad for the ecosystem.

The bear was an example. The reason why sports (football, UFC, boxing, baseball, soccer etc) are sports is because both teams (ex hunter/ pray) have an equal chance of winning. Here's a better example, when a lioness hunts a hog, its not a sport its hunting (for food). The term "hunting for sport" is used mainly to justify killing an animal for ornamental, or "pride" reasons. I am an active shooter and the times where I have hunted, its been for food, not for trophies (aka sport).

The Deer in Scotland are killed for a legitimate reason. They are too many. They have reach the point in their population where (if their numbers continue) the eco-system may be destroyed. Selling it for meat is probably the best thing to do afterwards then the death then it isn't just a pointless kill.

But we absolutely cannot avoid talking about the moral side of things. That is the whole point of the discussion. The "wrongness" of humans hunting animals for the pleasure of eating their cooked flesh. The distinction between animals and plants is a legitimate one. The problem is, insects and other low lifeforms actually feel pain and have consciousness, and I'm confident that you kill those sometimes. It would be very morally wrong for you to kill the pet dog because it has a human owner.

I don't hunt, personally. But i live in a pretty rural area in the south of England where the deer-population is widely regarded as 'overpopulated'. The problem is that they have no natural predators left, because we destroyed them all, because we were also prey at one point. Thus they breed and breed and destroy/take away food for other creatures, reducing the diversity of the eco-system. So, there is licensed culling.
