Charlie &Abigail's Report on Hunting

Hunting is OK

Hunting is ok sometimes.  We think that hunting is good when you need to protect yourself and your family.  For example if you were camping in the woods and a fox attacks you then you can kill it. Hunting is ok when animals are becoming extinct.  Like the water voles are disappearing because the minks are eating them.  It is ok for a hunter to kill the minks to protect the voles.  If you hunt an animal you have to use the whole animal because they have to die with dignity and it will be a waste.  If you’re camping out in a forest and you have nothing to eat you have to kill a deer and make venison.
