I vote for No.
I will never kill God's creatures just to have fun.
What's your opinion? :roll:

I don´t like to kill animals too, but tell me friends
Do you eat meat? because What´s the difference between hunting or eating animals, even insects? is the same.
I´m vegetarian

The difference is that, when killing animals for food, we don't do that for pleasure... hunters do the opposite, instead.
I feel like the ancient american natives: every time they killed an animal, they had a special ritual to ask his pardon, since they didn't like to kill him... they had to do it to survive...

Sorry Elba, but you're wrong! Cannibals have never killed other humans for food... eating the killed enemies was a ritual. They thought that eating some enemy's body parts would have transferred to them his courage and strength.

What they should do is first give the animals weapons and see how they get on. Would be a more even contest I guess.

I don't consider that hunting is a kind of sport. For me, hunting is a killing. Especially if people do it only for fun not even at least for food.
