RE: What are the pros and cons of hunting?
You may need to go to another website to find any information on the cons of hunting. Personally, I cannot think of any. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
You should definately add something as TREEDOG said about how humans have created a situation in which the balance of animal populations can no longer be controled by predators alone. It is now our responsibility to act as caretakers of the land and take reponsibility for the situation we have created.
The reintroduction of predators as a sole means to control animal populations is no longer an option due to a lack of habitat and negative interactions that can occur between humans and predator populations.
You can talk about the deep tradition hunting has created between family and friends.
You can talk about the billions of dollars sportsmen put into the economy + money from license sales that go to conservation efforts.
You can also add something about the man hours hunters voluntarily put in on wildlife projects that not only help game animals but also help other species.
Good luck with the paper.
