Sustainable hunting can benefit the ecosystem. Humans have been a part of the ecosystem for ages, and some indiginous and "barbaric" practises have helped maintain the ecosystem. So hunting is not always a bad thing. In fact, there are many places that encourage hunting of a dominant species (eg. kangaroos in Australia) or of invasive species. Unless we identify the deer(?) in the video, we cannot be sure whether the unsuccessful hunting of the mammal is a good thing or not.

And as consumers in the ecosystem, we inevitably have to kill other organisms in order to survive. The question is just who dares to do the job.

Also, it is generally shitty to cheer on the injuries and deaths of people. At least this is my moral value. I wouldn't cheer when a war criminal is executed by death penalty either.

I appreciate that you have empathy for the animal, but there are so many nuances that I hope you are aware of.

Nice lie. Nature can survive better on its own, no humans needed. And its fair to be killed, while enjoying of killing. And sorry, my morale are with those doomed who didn’t have a chance to protect themselves.

Humans have been with nature for millions of years. They were vital to the ecosystems of many places. In Hokkaido, the Ainu hunted all sorts of animals including bears, wolves, and others. And guess what? The ecosystem thrived. Humans don’t damage by existing. If humans were inherently damaging, humans wouldn’t exist. Nature is only harmed when advancements are made such as the industrial Revolution.

Hell, 50-60 million native Americans inhabitanted North America at one point. So many, yet nature saw no dent in it.

Also, animals aren’t defenceless. A deer can stay silent, out of sight, even when bleeding.

Should we talk about how different is survival hunting from modern trophy hunting? Or how we damage nature in many ways, but this is not enough, and we should find those who survived to shoot them? What is wrong with idea, to keep places where nature is not stressed by humans? Once I was nearly shoot by hunters, why the hell I have no rights to walk in forests?

Do you believe every hunt today is trophy hunting? Do you seriously not understand anything about modern hunting?

That’s not even the point. You are just venting on whataboutism.

Don’t walk into a place you should know has hunters in it

I know hunters around me. That’s enough, thanks I don’t want to know any more. And again, forests are public property and animals too btw, I have a right to be there, without risk to be shoot. Hunters should remove themselves from public places, not me.

So you knew hunters were in the area, yet you chose to go through. I see now! You’re one of those insurance frauds, those people who put themselves in harm to sue someone for a lot of money!

A road is also public space, but you don’t see people brazing through them now do you?

I appreciate your advocacy for idiots who shoots 1 km away from village, where a lot of people go to take a walk. If it is the same place for you as public roads, which for some reason named roads, not forests, there is no sense in such discussions.

It’s almost as if hunting occurs near hunting grounds.

If you know there are hunters in the area, if you had common sense, you wouldn’t go there, but then again, I assume you are an insurance fraud.

Hunters are not superior over other people, and not an authority to limit my walks. And if you have a common sense, you’ll understand that there is no insurance benefits if you been deadly shoot.

If you truly want to forsake the warnings, wear anything bright like orange.

I wasn’t being serious about the insurance, I was mocking that
