I am not against hunting, even want to try it some day. I think I would really enjoy it. I would eat the thing of course, even tan the hide. Just something I want to do one day.

Males (boars) tend to kill off the young to bring the females back into heat - even killing their own (the boars) offspring. So for an Anti-hunter to say that I, as a hunter, do more damage to populations than anything else is ridiculous....

I'm not sure that is relevant.

Humans are killed by their own kind far more than they are killed by any other animal. Would you then accept a different (and necessarily hypothetical) species having moral immunity to kill as many humans for sport as they wish simply because humans kill other humans? I see no connection.

Trophy hunting is not about relative evil; it's just evil. Humans have long equated the power to do something with the right to do something, and that extends to all walks of life. Until we evolve beyond that, we will remain (collectively) the most barbarous and destructive creature ever to have lived on this planet.

I don't think anyone is against the responsible sportsmen who hunt and,
I would like to believe the fruits of their hunting is eaten, mounted, tanned.

The supermarket certainly has tasty meat and fish.

For the health food nuts, I feel sorry.
When they're in the hospital dying, they won't know what is killin' 'em.
