Is it natural to hunt? if so why?
People have been hunting since the beginning of people, we are predators. It is one of the most natural instinctive activity's of mankind. To hunt is to be human. Even in todays jaded society we are hunter gatherers at heart. What do think the emotion that makes people want to go shopping is? It is nothing more than a modified version of hunter gatherer.
If all people stopped hunting would the ecosystem collapse? evidence?
Please keep in mind that humans have been part of the eco system since the beginning of human existence. The most early remains of the human show that he was a hunter.
Hunting levels out the highs and lows of population spikes and declines by keeping the population levels at a manageable size. The eco system would not collapse with out human intervention but the highs would be higher and the lows would be lower. Human hunters have had a natural effect on game populations for tens of thousands of years.
Why is ok to kill an animal but not a human?
Sometimes it is ok to kill a human. Sometimes it isn't ok to kill an animal. It depends on the situation.
But if you don't know the difference between a human and an animal I'm afraid I can't explain it to you. You are missing something basic in your life experiences. I am afraid that Disney has blurred those lines for many people with talking animal cartoons.
Especially ones with human like emotions and logical thinking. Get clue guys, Bambi was not real.
If a species became opverpolulate3d would only the excess population die? would it affect other species?
No when a species overpopulates not only the excess die it severely affects the health of the entire population because the excess do not only eat the excess food they eat everything causing mass starvation and disease which kill off far more than simply the excess animals. In the natural scheme of things this allows the eco system to repair while the population levels are down.
And of course it affects other species. Sometimes for the benefit sometimes to determent.
Remember that a healthy predator prey relationship helps to level out these spikes. The human has been part of this process since the beginning.
Is what is natural always right? wrong? either?
Hunting is natural. Natural is right. Any questions?
PS
Don't take any of what I wrote personally this is simply how I would present this information to an animal rights activist. They don't listen anyway. So you might as well be direct.
Thanks for posting this. It is a great forum for some good exchange of information.
