Morality of hunting and fishing?

I'm writing a persuasive research paper for my English class. We have to either say hunting and fishing is immoral or moral. I am for it being immoral. We need at least 3 reasons as to why this is. I have:


1. They are creatures of the Earth, just like humans.


2. They have feelings and feel pain.





I need a third one please. Even if you are for it being moral, do you have any ideas?? Please help!!!Morality of hunting and fishing?
With all the modern hunting and fishing equipment available today is is like shooting fish in a barrel. The animals and fish really have no chance and it certainly is not a fair battle. ie, long range gun scopes, under water radar to find school of fish, bows and arrows that are so sophisticated they are like firing a gun.Morality of hunting and fishing?
You're going to have to tackle the fact that slaughter houses and fish farms are much more cruel than shooting a deer who has had a chance to live a normal life. The two arguments you have so far are 'ok' they just ignore the fact that hunters usually do use the animals for food and take measures to insure that the animal doesn't suffer unduly before death. In slaughter houses, that's not the case.





Maybe your third one should be something along the lines of: hunting for reasons other than obtaining food or culling the population to overpopulation is wasteful and unnecessary.
CHEL-C





YOU NEED to be TRUTHFUL with yourself! You're in total denial!





First of all, if you say it is immoral to hunt and fish, then you must also say it is immoral for you to eat meat? I'm not sure if you're a vegetarian or not, but if you consume, or have consumed any meat in your life, then you have contributed to the SLAUGHTERING of animals. That is immoral too right? RIGHT??? RIGHT????





Be fair now Chel-C! Animals that are slaughtered also have feelings and feel pain, and they are also creatures of the Earth. lol Don't contradict yourself now!





Lastly, if you are a veggie, and you order a veggie meal from a restaurant, you are STILL SUPPORTING THE SLAUGHTERING OF ANIMALS, because you are supporting places that allow animals to be slaughtered.





I suggest that you tell your instructor that the question cannot be answered because MOST PEOPLE EAT MEAT, and therefore, MOST PEOPLE ARE already killing the animals!
If you think hunting is immoral then practically everything in the world is immoral since a fact of life is that one or more organism has to die to feed another. You think vegetables are not alive? Just because they are not sentient beings does not mean they don't have life. Also animals hunt each other what are you doing to do about lions, bears and wolves?





Well for your sake I hope you change your stance or really know how to write because you're about to make yourself look like a fool.
Survival of the fittest. We are bigger, stronger and smarter than the animals (well, most of us). Our bodies were meant to process meat.


There are some idiots out there that poach endangered species-I'm against that, not against farming animals for consumption. If you hunt and fish instead of going to the grocery store...I have no problem with that.
do you wear leather shoes?


it's moral and helps the animals/fish from overcrowding themselves. it's healthy for their lives.


i can't even think of a bogus reason why it would immoral. sorry.
Hunting is moral as it controls overcrowding of the animal species. It also feeds a portion of the human population.
The Native Americans were hunters and fishermen. Clearly God punished them and rewarded those who slaughtered domesticated animals instead.
some people kill them exclusively for trophies.
The Bible says the fields and streams are teaming with game for our consumption.
