Pros And Cons Of Duck Shooting

I myself  do not like duck shooting only because I do not like shooting living animals for fun but if it was for survival it would be fine. there are pros and cons of duck shooting and I will be explaining them in this blog post.

The Pros:
Those who advocate hunting believe that it helps to keep populations of animals in check.This is kept in check by hunting. It is a source of food as it provides meat to many families. Until as early as the 1920s, a majority of Europe and America depended on the meat of the animals they raised or hunted, for food. Another advantage is that it develops a person's survival skills. If a person gets stranded in the wild, a knowledge of how and which animal to hunt, and also how to survive in wilderness proves to be helpful. Today, an economical provision is made by various hunters and sportsmen by donating millions of dollars to improve wildlife and the environment of sanctuaries. In countries where hunting is legal, they make sure that the endangered species are not harmed.



The Cons:
One drawback of hunting is that it is used as a sport or hobby, particularly trophy hunting. Here, animals are killed not for meat, but to be mounted on walls. Even if they are not fit to be consumed, they are killed as trophies. As mentioned above, there are many animals that have been over-hunted and brought to near extinction, one example being the American Buffalo. Another example was the over-killing of the Cougar. Although this animal was hunted to protect cattle from being attacked, it led to this species nearly becoming extinct. If the hunters are inexperienced, this activity can become an active stage for tragedy. There have been instances of people shooting fellow hunters, mistaking them for prey. In many cases, this has proven to be fatal.  Although the rule of hunting is to not let animals suffer, at times, people do not realize that they need to put an injured animal out of its misery, which causes many animals to unfortunately suffer slow and painful deaths.





My Thinkings:
I myself do not like duck shooting, I don't like killing animals in general because they have nervous systems to which means they feel pain like us. Sometimes you only wound them and they either get eaten by your dogs if you bring them,or they could lie there and die in a lot of pain. That is why I do not like Duck Shooting.
