Should Animal Hunting Be Banned? I personally think animal hunting should be banned because hunters are one of the main reasons why animals suffer‚ are extinct‚ and are endangered. Because of hunting animals are becoming extinct‚ and with arsenal of rifles‚ shotguns‚ muzzle loaders‚ handguns‚ bows and arrows‚ hunters kill more than 200 million animals yearly. It Is Cruel; Animals deserve just us much respect as we do. There are primates that are the closest living animal to us and we hunt them.

out hunting‚ I always like to have the best equipment. Usually‚ I’ll go out to hunt deer‚ but since I live in an area with a wide variety of critters‚ I like to mix things up a little bit and hunt all kinds of animals‚ from rabbits to raccoons to wild turkeys. Overall‚ when it comes to my guns‚ I have everything I need. However‚ one of the most important parts of my rifle is the scope. If I can’t see my target well‚ how am I supposed to kill it?

THE MORAL ARGUMENT How do we explain the fact that people often refrain from immoral acts even when there is no risk of their being caught?

It also asserts that if we accept the existence of objective moral laws we must accept the existence

Never Forget In the darkest of times‚ heroes or cowards are not made‚ but are revealed to the eyes of humanity. Heroes do not do unrealistic things‚ but do realistic things under unrealistic circumstances. Men and women put their lives on the line just so you can be safe. Those men and women do it every day of our lives‚ whether it is firefighters‚ police officers‚ or even soldiers overseas. No one can pay them back for what they do‚ and yet‚ they still go out and give up their lives so that someone
