Animal Hunting Is Ethical
Animal Ethics
Freedom from dehydration, hunger, and malnutrition is ethical. The right to be free of discomfort caused by environmental factors is ethical. To live without pain, injury, and disease is ethical. To live in freedom without fear and distress is what animal ethics are about, and us as humans can help to enforce this by setting laws that benefit animal rights (Sztybel, 1998, pp.130-132).
Animal ethics are created for animal protection or human advancement? As a society we create laws to protect animals, and we punish those who break the laws that are created. But are these laws created to benefit animal rights or the pleasures of human society. We as humans need to look at the way society treats animals, and what we believe is …show more content…
fair in the treatment of animals. Animal ethics are created for animal rights, so we need to make sure all animals are treated equally no matter what environment they may be from.
Animals are used in experiments for the medical advancement of human society (Animal experimentation, 2007). Many of these experiments are needed to help doctors and scientist with the advancement of medicine used to cure many illnesses humans encounter. We depend on the results from these experiments to give our society hope in the fight to find cures for these life threatening diseases. While we keep our focus on the outcome of the test and results of these experiments, how much pain and suffering is involved on these animals that are used to give us the answers to life or sometimes death.
Animals have been used for all types of experiments which result in long-term and short-term pain and suffering. These animals' develop diseases that are not curable, and they will eventually die from them. The sad thing is that these animals are perfectly healthy when going into these experiments that can cause life threatening results for a lot of these animals. Some animals live longer than others, but most of them live in pain for the remainder of their lives. How much abuse is allowed in these tests, and where do we draw the line on these tests being ethical for animal rights.
How do animals benefit from animal ethics that are created for them? Some animals are reserved from being instinct. We create hunting laws that protect animals from being hunted at certain times of the year or at all depending on the environment the animal is dwelling in. Ethics is able to help influence the treatment of animals as pets by their owners. Ethics helps to create laws that hold humans accountable for their illegal actions against animals.
How do humans benefit from animal ethics that are created for animals? Humans are able to benefit from the results of medical science testing that involves usage on animals. Humans are also able to enjoy social entertainment that many animals are able to provide for them. Animals are able to provide physical as well as emotional well being to pet and business owners. Financially animals provide financial growth for those individuals involved with animals as a source of income. So these are some of the ways that humans are able to benefit from animal ethics, which are created by humans.
Animal hunting is considered a sport by some humans and by others it is viewed as being unethical.
We as a human society have the privilege of making laws that are supposed to be ethical for animals and their overall well being. So, how do we come to the conclusion of what is best for animals, and what is acceptable for humans? Some activists believe that we should not drink milk from cows or wear clothing that is made with any animal hide (Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, 2007). This to some people may seem very extreme, but how about the other side of the coin. Where humans hunt animals in their own environment so they can severe the head and hang it on the wall as a trophy. These are two totally different extremes. Depending upon which side you chose to lean towards, helps to influence what you consider as an individual to be considered unethical and ethical for animals. How does either of these acts benefit animals in any way? They do not, these are human laws made to benefit human opinions and to satisfy human entertainment or pleasures. These are not ways to protect animals or promote animal rights in our …show more content…

Animals today in our society play a big part in the lives of human beings on emotional and physical aspects.
Humans today have a huge demand for pets including all different types of animals. People pay large amounts of money for these pets and want their investments protected. Therefore, they will push for certain laws that will protect their pets in the environment they have created for their pet or pets. Some high demand exotic pets are being neglected by their owners without the owners even knowing that they are doing anything wrong. They are taking these animals out of their natural environment and not giving them the proper caretaking that is needed to keep the animal healthy. (Evans, 2005) With this in mind what about other animals that may not be in the same high demand pet category. They will continue to be treated with less attention as long as nothing is being voiced by human society. Now, are the laws that are being created and enforced protecting the high demanded pets or the pet's master? I believe this is a good example of the animal ethics being used to benefit human's wants and not animal's
rights.
When the ethics of animals are being discussed religion plays a major role in the treatment of animals within our society. In some religions people believe that animal sacrifice is a part of the religious beliefs of pleasing their Gods (In the Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia including Atlas, 2005). So by them carrying out their religious beliefs they may often be seen as being cruel to animals in some people's eyes. So by them practicing their religious beliefs, are they being unethical to animals? Some would say yes, but the argument they would have is how they can not practice religion when others are killing animals for entertainment purposes and some believe they are not doing anything wrong. Many of these religious beliefs have given up the traditional sacrifice of animals due to the animal laws and ethics that have been put in place by animal activists. However, in some countries they are still practicing the purifying of an animal sacrifice. In the case of sacrifice versus hunting these are both human acts against animals that only benefit humans and in no way protect animals.
When animal laws are stated there is usually a selected group of animals that will stand out to benefit from the laws. We first think of pets and other animal resources then we think of medical experiments and lab testing done with animals. Next we get to less argued issues of animal rights. But, us as humans we need to look at animals as a whole, and make our ethical judgment in the best interest of animals as a whole. By doing so I believe that animal laws will then be created for animals first, and will concurrently be benefiting humans as well.
Animals that are included in the lives of a family residing in a farming style atmosphere continue to play a major role with in the family's life. These animals tend to bond with the family members throughout the chores and maintenance to keep these farm animals productive. The close relationship that is established between these farm animals and their caretakers sometimes can lead to depression or guilt that is very hard to overcome. Through these types of business relations human society becomes more aware of the bonding between animals and humans.
I know that human society has come a long way in the advancements of animal rights. There are many major issues that we are dealing with as a society that also carry great values to us as a whole. But if we as humans can make an effort to improve the treatment of animals, one day at a time we will continue to improve animal welfare. By improving animal welfare along with animal ethics we as a human society will benefit tremendously, animal society will benefit tremendously, and the world as a whole will benefit tremendously.
