Answers: Never.
And my family would never eaither..
I'm a vegetarian that does occasionally indulge in blood sports. I often swat at mosquitoes (only to maim).
I don't have any friends that are like deer. Apart from Rudolph.
No, I would never have hunted even before I was veg, let alone after.
hunting is inhumane and disgusting, i dont know how anyone the slighest bit intrested in animal rights could enjoy, participate in or condone this suffering.
Much less someone who has cut meat out from their diet to reduce animal suffering.
You count clay pigeons?
Don't hunt - but I do like to target shoot.
Just for the record - I don't eat the targets....
If a person was vegetarian purely for health reasons, then I don't think they'd be opposed to hunting for sport. But for most vegetarians, it's going to go against everything they believe in.
I personally don't think it's much of a sport nor a fair fight. Either go out and take down the deer with your bare hands or give him a gun too.
I didn't become a vegetarian for ethical reasons, I did it for health reasons (though lessening my role in animal cruelty is a great bonus).
I have not ever hunted deer, but I never liked the idea of sport hunting, it just seems unnecessary.
I have killed animals (water moccasins) when I thought it was necessary, but usually it isn't.
I am veggie, been all my life! - I respect all life, would never knowing take a life!
i live in northern utah, where many people hunt. - i find that just evil. honestly evil. I see deer in my backyard in the winter, they are so beautiful. i would never go near one. - but they are beautiful to watch.
At my work place men stand around and talk about how it was so hard to drag that big buck into their pick up trucks. Really it makes me sick. - its like they need to show their manhood, by using a gun against these poor innocent animal! - I often feel like just ***** slapping them. but of course i can not, as I would get fired! funny, huh, I can get fired for hitting someone, but killing thousands of animal is prefectly acceptable!
if you or your family is starving to death, erm,, maybe hunting would be ... okay... (i would never do it) but when you have so much food why would you do that? -
Sorry to not *exactly* answer your question, but I've always said that veg*ns are the only people who have a right to complain about hunting since it's way more humane and environmentally friendly (not to mention the meat is healthier - and cheaper!) than the crap on grocery store shelves and fast food places. People always go in the hunting section and post stupid crap like "OMG DONT KILLZ DA BABY AMINALZ!!!" when they were probably scarfing down a greasy cheeseburger as they were typing. At least when you hunt for it, you are in touch with your food and respect what it takes to get it. It's kind of dumb to say stuff like "hunting is evil" - look at nasty stuff that goes on in farms and tell me that's better.
Is someone eating that deer or are you just doing it for fun? If people are eating it and you enjoy killing a living thing then that is your prerogative, but if you are just leaving the animal after you kill it then that is way wrong in so many ways. I don't think I will ever understand how someone can kill an animal and not feel great remorse.
I have known a couple of semi-vegetarians who hunted, but they did eat what they killed, and eating what they killed was what made the practice ethical to them. A friend of mine would go out and kill a deer every fall season and freeze some of it and preserve it and turn some of it into jerky and that one deer would be his entire meat intake for the year.
