On another post I was asked what I thought was Ethical hunting. The more I thought about it the more difficult it became as times are changing and my views should be changing also ...Right?
Wasn't to many years ago that we spanked our kid's, drove without seat belts, smoking was the in thing and on and on. Our views have changed on all sorts of matters and now some will call them Unethical.
There are so many variables here with Geography,Religion, Upbringing as well as many more the views are endless.
Bottom Line.
I feel that as long as we continue to be meat eaters and use their byproducts the killing and or harvesting of animals must always remain ethical or we are contradicting ourselves.
So I feel ethical should mean to me anyway the taking of an animal in a QUICK AND HUMANE fashion hunting being one of them. If you think about it the taking of an animal in an enclosed pen should be ethical as this is how we all get our beef and other meat from the butcher. On the other hand we would not call this hunting, rather harvesting.
Where you draw the line between these 2 (Hunting,Harvesting) should be left up to you and your beliefs due to the above mentioned criteria.
