There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

My Personal View:
Trophy Hunting...
Never acceptable
Poaching...
Never acceptable
Recreational Hunting...
Not for me but I have enough friends who do it and they have a greater respect for nature and animals than 99.9% of the other people out there I talk to.
They hike for days through the elements, they harvest the animal and eat it for months. Most of my friends still feel remorse when they make a kill and never want to see an animal suffer.
So if you're going to eat burgers, chicken, fish, steak, etc.
You really have no right to complain about someone who chooses to hunt for their food and know where it actually came from as opposed to eating something that is treated so cruelly that most people cannot even watch how they are living or killed since it hurts their hearts.
That being said, if all people chose to hunt there would be no food left, so regulations must always be in place and enforced strictly and keystone species must be protected, the removal of predators to increase herbivore numbers for hunting revenue is never acceptable either.
Most Hunters or Conservationists have the same goal and that is to protect the natural world. If we are to take on such a large task then we all need as many allies as possible. It's better to learn from one another and join forces in our fight against the ones attacking the natural world.
