Their source of survival has turned into our past-time. Even though the purpose of hunting now days is for enjoyment, most people still eat the mean, but those who do not are being wasteful and are breaking the law. If someone is going to kill a deer, rabbit, or other game for fun, they at least need to see that the meat is used. Leaving something as useful as good meat in the woods to spoil and rot is showing horrible character. It is also against the law to kill game for just the rack, tail, ect., and just a waste of meat.
Everybody should know how to hunt and/or fish and grub to survive should they survive a catastrophic natural disaster, but then at the same time it should be illegal for people to sport hunt and fish for trophies. Everybody should know how to hunt and/or fish and grub to survive, should people survive a catastrophic natural disaster. Roberts wrote, “If your area is hit by a devastating natural disaster, such as an earthquake or tsunami, access to food can shut down fast” (Roberts, n.d.). Those who know how to hunt and/or fish and grub would be better off to provide food than people that do not know how to do anything. Nunn wrote, “You may be surprised to learn that according to the government, most cities and urban areas have only a three day supply of food and water.
Patterson continues his letter using formal language, stating that access to hunting and fishing is often limited by the states administration where no one department is held accountable for these activities and policies and administration continue to frustrate enthusiasts. This makes Patterson’s writing style sound sophisticated and authoritative and can lend weight to his side of the argument. In Pattersons next paragraph, he talks about how fisheries and game management fall under the Primary Industry, the States Wildlife and Environment and Sustainability and how the access to hunting and wetlands is under the jurisdiction of Parks, Victoria and this is an Appeal to Environmentalism which could trigger an emotional response towards the reader and evoke different types of feelings. In Patterson’s next paragraph, he uses facts stating that the annual direct expenditure of duck hunters is estimated by the government to be 40 million dollars and the indirect expenditure is estimated to be millions more.

The plain Indians hunted buffalo, elk and sometimes antelope. To capture the animal they would try to surround the herd or they would try to get to high ground or places where they would be killed more easily. Hunting life was much easier after they had horses. They usually hunted with a bow and arrow, but after the white settlers arrived they started to trade guns. The Indians would usually hunt all year long.
The deer roam free so the steroids, antibiotics, and diseases that beef have deer don’t have. The reason for this is because there are too many deer to maintain the health of all the deer, because the cost would be outrageous. If the deer get sick they die the farmer or DNR is not giving them antibiotics to make them better. There are exceptions to that where there are deer farms down in Texas. If there is something wrong (other than the bullet hole or arrow hole) with the deer once you get the skin off most
Deer with CWD need to get killed so that the rest of the deer population can be healthy. Next, CWD has had many direct effects. It caused many people not to want to hunt or spend as much money due to the fact that a person shouldn’t consume any meat from a deer with CWD. This hurts many sporting goods stores that sell gear for hunting. Also, it hurts many meat processing companies.
So by the time they actually shoot something, the hunter has developed a deep connection to the species and to the land. Some considered themselves an environmentalist before they started hunting. But until they are out there, can they understand the traditional ways of their ancestors. Hunting in today's culture, still provides nutrition for those that still believe in living off the land, why? Because, it has little to no environmental footprint, no antibiotics, artificial hormones, pesticides, herbicides, or unnatural feeds were used in raising this meat.
An environmental theory that has come about because of the issues of treating animals as people has been whether or not the animals kept in captivity will face the loss of their habitat, will face the detrimental effects of global warming with no way to be rescued and also may be targeted by hunters. “Others worry about animals themselves. Steve Feldman, spokesman for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, says that keeping and breeding animals in captivity is sometimes the only way to safeguard a species. Opponents of captivity, he argues, too often ignore the reality of habitat loss, global warming, hunters, and poachers threatening species in the wild,” according to Berdik (2013). It is a very real possibility that by releasing an animal from captivity and essentially treating them as a human that the animal could face complete loss of their natural habitat and may end up extinct or near-extinct due to hunters targeting them.
Whaling has been around on since prehistoric times, they were hunted by chasing the whales, and throwing a harpoon into them. Whaling and fishing in the late nineteenth and twentieth century became a tragedy of the commons where fishermen had little incentive to allow some fish to remain to only be taken by others. Countries around the world were putting whales on the brink of extinction through any means necessary. By not taking young fish, this would allow future fish to keep the population stable, but by not taking the younger fish, the fishermen would lose these to other fishermen. In the 1800s and 1900s whales were found to be quite practical and useful.
In both fights the swordsmen emptied their minds and fought mentally. Question How would a Daoist view hunting regulations in todays society? Answer Daoist would view todays hunting regulations as a negative act, because they are concerned with the relationship among humans and animals, which are all part of the universe. In our opinion we believe Daoist would disagree with the act of hunting as a sport however, hunting as a tool for survival and a means of gathering food would be seen as acceptable because it’s a natural process of living.
