Argumentative essay
(Deer Hunting can be a good thing)
Hunting has always been around, even as early as the Prehistoric Era. Men in these times had to hunt to provide food and warmth for their families. Throughout the years hunting has become looked upon negatively by many people in society. In all aspects; for example animal cruelty and gun control. Along with the many people who do not agree with hunting, there is also a great amount of people who think it is a good thing. In my opinion the three main reasons hunting can be looked at positively are it keeps the deer population down, can provide food for a family, and can be known as a sport to many people.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there are approximately 1.5 million deer related car accidents each year. Deer populations are already at an all time high, and the higher the population, the higher the deer related accident rate. This is where deer hunting comes into play, and can be a positive solution. Each hunter has a limited amount of tags they can fill, keeping hunting at a controlled limit. It helps keep the hunting humane but at the same time keeps the population of deer down. In the end it is a positive outcome for everyone.
Another positive outlook at hunting can also be the fact that hunting can be a source of food for a low income family. For low income families, hunting can be a cheaper way of providing food for their family. All they are required to do is buy tags and ammunition, doing this will guarantee them deer meat all year long. In turn this helps them to save money for other crucial things they may need. Deer meat is also known to be leaner/healthier than any other meat you will buy from the store. I believe hunting can only benefit these families in many ways.
In today’s day in age hunting isn’t just something you do, for many people it’s a way of life. Hunting goes way beyond the boundaries of just deer hunting
