Hunting animals

I am a avid hunter. Been since I was able to have a license. Is it wrong to hunt and kill animals in the eyes of the lord if we are not going to use them after the hunt? Lets use prairie dogs and crows for examples.

I personally think it is wrong to hunt animals just for sports, as I see it as taking lives. But I don't think the Bible says anything about it (at least not if there is any difference between hunting for food or for other reasons)

we have a dude here with a fishing show

he catches the fish

kisses it

and throws it back

i think its a waste of resources

in britain the gay green lefties ban fox hunting, duck shooting AND FISHING

that tells you plenty

I had a conversation about this with some other christian hunters. We are to manage wildlife the way we see fit to keep the animals in check. This keeps diseases and other wildlife in balance. Hunting is part of life either for food or for conservation purposes as God intended us to be in control over all the animals on earth.

If you hunt, kill and then let it rot, UNLESS IT IS AN INVASIVE, FERAL OR PEST SPECIES, then YES, it is wrong.
However, it is more of a moral judgement than a Christian principle.
Not for the past 8 years we haven't.
And what in the heck has that got to do with this subject?


What a profoundly Christian sentiment. Not!
Let's just generalise everyone with a conservation leaning as homosexual, shall we!

You sir, are an idiot.

As an atheist I think it is wrong to kill animals for no reason. Now I kill animals all the time. But I only kill if it is for food or if it is keep some kind of ferrel animal in check. Why don't you do hunt something you could use?

you can still fish in britian im glad the ban fox hunting bloody cruel what they did to them as for duck you can hunt them but some speices have been banned get your facts right

The Bible says this:

Prov 12:10 "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."

Sermons on Several Occasions by John Wesley

The General Deliverance:

Reason, set aside that ambiguous term: exchange it for the plain word, understanding: and who can deny that brutes have this? We may as well deny that they have sight or hearing.

Something better remains after death for those poor creatures also.

It may enlarge our hearts towards those poor creatures, to reflect that, as vile as they appear in our eyes, not one of them is forgotten in the sight of our Father which is in heaven. Through all the vanity to which they are now subjected, let us look to what God hath prepared for them. Yea, let us habituate ourselves to look forward, beyond this present scene of bondage, to the happy time when they will be delivered therefrom, into the liberty of the children of God.

William Wilberforce was inspired by John Wesley and consequently he co-founded the SPCA.

God has given us animals for food, for helping us work and for companionship. He wants us to respect them.

Quest

I too am an avid hunter, and since my conversion to a Jesus follower, I can not find anything good in the killing of any animal without the use of it being the primary motivation. Perhaps there are those out there who feel called to manage the species with mass culling, but I am not one of those.

i lived in bournemouth

the city next door was southampton

the GayGreenLefties got control of the southampton council

they banned fishing

and at least one lake got overstocked with fish

Enough with the Gay greenie connotation.

It is childish in the extreme.

Hm. My take on it comes from Proverbs 12:10. Now I know about Genesis 1:28, too, but I don't believe God intended for us to kill off parts of his creation for pure pleasure. In the Proverbs passage he is implying we should at least take care of our own animals. I've never been hunting, myself, but the folks that raised me have taught me to not let the animal go to waste once you kill it. You know - skin, gut, cook, eat. I still like firing guns. Everyone where I live is a big hunting freak. I've even thought about using a paintball gun on a deer... but I've never gotten around to it. I wonder what the hunters would think if they saw a buck come bounding out of the brush with orange paint marks all over him. Who knows.. Maybe the orange would save its life?

Nah. They'd probably rack it up as animal cruelty, slap me on the wrist and then let the hunters shoot it dead.

have you read the manifesto of the australian greens?

are you in favour of lowering the age of consent to 12?

That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
You are generalising every single person with a leaning towards conservation and green politics as Homosexual.

That is not only offensive, derogatory and childish. It is also plainly absurd.

For a 50 yr old man you are sadly immature.

why do feel threatened by questions?

or people with a different perspective than your own?

why do you feel the need to be so personal?

I'm not the one generalising people as homosexuals here pal.
Get a mirror and have a long, hard look at yourself.

sorry greatkaw, I agree with aussie on this one. No need to use gay as a derogatory word
and no need to bash parties just because you disagree with them
say you disagree, don't call them names...

the original post was about was about hunting animals

the council did ban fishing

they were green

I dont know how many of them were gay
