Is hunting right or is it wrong?

There is a fine line between what is right and what is wrong. I think it depends on what you are hunting for. If you have a good reason than it should be allowed. Hunting for trophies is the most pointless reason anyone can have for hunting. If a person is hunting for survival, and food is needed than hunting should be allowed.

Hunting endangered species should be completely forbidden. The people with sick minds that like to kill endangered species just for fun or for wealth also have something wrong with them. If animal hunting is allowed, then some people could see humans as animals and decide to hunt them as well. It is pretty easy to get a hunting licence or gun nowadays, especially since you can purchase stuff illegally, which makes it easier to kill animals.

Animals that lay lots of eggs and have high reproduction rates should be hunted sometimes so that we can maintain their populations. However, if they have a decrease in population then the hunting should cease until they have managed to reproduce their population.

If there is a need for an animals fur, then they should not be hunted for it, unless the hunter will use every single part of the animal, and only kill the elderly ones that can no longer reproduce. Also there should be a limit of how many can be killed per season and each time one is killed it should be recorded so that the populations can be controlled effectively.

In the end, hunting should only be done if it is absolutely necessary, and only in small amounts. The populations of the animals should always be maintained carefully to avoid any extinction.
