It's a big "NO"! We are talking about sport. Well, how can you be sport when you are hurting a living thing or maybe a human being that you missed with your bullets or guns or whatever you used to hunt.

Sports it's about having fun.How can you be happy if you hurt anyone or animals in the game? If you can easily hurt any animals and laugh at it, that means you can do it to your neighborhood also. The word hunt is more on shooting for animals just like hunt for a fugitive. Is it fun to chase a wanted criminal and when you catch him/her you will laugh at him/her? No matter how you catch the animals in a game or for fun, it's not fair for these living things on earth to be tortured like that.

You cannot feel how scared or miserable these animals being chased or hunt for fun or sports. How would you like if someone will chase you with a bullets in your butt? And then laugh at you when you stumble? Do you like that?

Animals are living things too. They can feel how it hurts to get shot or get bruises from running away from you. I raised chickens in the jungle myself and every time I am hungry I turn to my chickens and talk to them that I am hungry I need to eat to survive.

It makes me sick to hurt living creatures that we surely know that they are trying to stay alive every single day. They just like us! They want to live in a peaceful environment too. So do not screw their emotions up.

We do not know that animals are crying inside their hearts too and ask themselves why we human are so cruel to treat them like that.

I love all kinds of animals even the snakes that scared me to death I cannot even kill it unless it's crawling on my feet or sleeping behind me in the bed.

I was beaten with an ants and even if these ants are tiny and small it does hurts when they bite you but I have to pick up and put it away rather than smashing it with my fingers or toes.

If you play a sport, you should be a sportsman and learn how to be nice even if you lose or win to avoid hurt feelings in the team and when you hunt an animals where's your sportsmanship in there? You do not know that these animals that you are trying to hunt are suffering from nervousness and emotional breakdown due to the fact that you are scaring them and if not lucky you will shoot them.

I eat most of the living things including animals but I tried to eat more vegetables than killing animals at home.

It is not a sport and it should not be label as sports to hunt animals. There are many reasons to hunt an animals either be it's on the run or you need to find them for health reasons so that they can take medicine or whatever.

See, if you put it this way, you can easily scare animals or people and eventually you will apply it in real life to hunt someone in your neighborhood for fun too.

Leave the animals alone and do not use them for sports or any related recreations. Did you see that tiger who kills a person? That means you just cannot play around with animals. They have feelings also and they felt humiliated when you try to make fun of them too.

So to hurt your own neighboring pets or animals are inhuman and against nature in general. Why not hunt for treasures or rocks or anything that has no life so that we do not have to feel bad when you shoot it.

Always put yourself in the shoes of others so that you can feel your own actions towards them. If you like hunting or shooting animals, how about you let someone to hunt you in return. I bet you will be hiding below the earth in order not to get hurt! That will stop you from hunting!
