Nathan,

First of all , I wonder whether your teacher is simply bringing up the topic for discussion or whether she happens to be an animal rights zealot, has learned that you support hunting, and is trying to impose her bunny hugger beliefs upon you and your fellow students and thus needs some serious education herself.

About the only thing hunting and murder might share in common is perhaps death.

Ask your teacher when was the last time a murderer used what he or she killed for beneficial purposes. ( If she brings up trophy hunting and claims the animal is wasted, let her know about programs like hunters helping the hungry )

Ask your teacher how much murderers contribute towards wildlife conservation.

Find out if she is a vegan.
