This is sorta a mixture of a Rant and animals.

Now I've seen this too many times:
Person: Is Hunting the same as animal abuse?
Person2: No. Your not hurting them poor dogs D:
Person: Thanks for letting me know ^^

END OF EXAMPLE:

No it isn't the same thing. But Person2 just in a way said that non-domestic animals don't matter. While If they had said it correctly they would have said something close to , " As long as you use what you hunt.".

Now for people who Want to hunt in the future, I'm sure you've heard this many times before, But here's What you can do if you love animals but for some reason want to hunt o.o(I'm not trying to tell you what to do, But just help out the animals :] ):
Only take as much as you NEED. This applies for fish too.
Catch it fairly and don't stun it with a flashlight(If it's a deer and it's night).
Always hunt with a license. ( Yes this helps the animals O.o )
Use what you hunt.
Make sure you don't just shoot something because it's a pretty animal that you want as a trophy, and never actually use meat or anything from it.
Hunt with a buddy XDDDD (You don't have to do this, but it might save some time of chasing the animal if you REALLY want it and the shot wasn't fatal. Because even though it wasn't fatal it will still hurt them.)
Once you've shot it continue to. ( I know this sounds cruel if it's lived through the shot but I see it this way: You shoot it in the leg, It can't walk but isn't fatal. You think that it should live. But it's leg really hurts and it would die of Starvation. KILL IT -_-. You're just putting it out of misery. Or it would slowly die.)
Don't hunt on conservation land. (It's illegal duh.)

Move it if this appears to be a rant O.o

Wait. So if I abuse an animal (not referring to hunting here) but I still use it, it's OK? So then I could tie a goat up to keep the grass short? I could beat a dog and make it vicious so it'll protect me? I could fight Pit Bulls and win money?

I know that isn't probably what you meant, but whether or not you use something is often completely irrelevant.

Plus I'm seeing a lot of mixed points here. First it's use what you kill, hunting isn't the same as animal abuse, then what to do when you hunt? Huh? Sometimes, there is no "morally right". There is no correct. There are no facts. I think the best answer to that example wouldn't have been "use what you kill", but rather "it depends on what you believe in".
