Reply to comment by lurker-1969 in Washington wildlife commission strikes down recreational spring bear hunt by Elijah_nicholas

You saying people don't shoot and kill wildlife for sport?

I come from a family of hunters. I planned to carry on with the tradition, but can't be fuckt to go out and shoot animals - for any reason, unless I have to for survival.

Ive hunted deer my whole life and can honestly say I hate the act killing them.

If I didnt though, theyd overpopulate and starve, cause ecological destruction.

Its a benefit that I can eat them, but I have never once felt joy at killing any animal, especially if it wasnt a perfectly placed shot. I think most people I hunt with probably feel the same way.
