Killing is a synonym of murdering, and murdering is a crime. Some may say that hunting can provide food,

people are selfish enough to exceed their wants and hunt down animals for pleasure.

PAIN AND SUFFERING

Many animals endure prolonged, painful deaths when they are injured but not killed by hunters.
DEER: A study of 80 radio-collared white-tailed deer found that of the 22 deer who had been shot with
“traditional archery equipment,” 11 were wounded but not recovered by hunters.
A British study of deer hunting found that 11 percent of deer who’d been killed by hunters died only after
being shot two or more times and that some wounded deer suffered for more than 15 minutes before
dying.
FOXES: According to one veterinarian Twenty percent of foxes who have been wounded by hunters are
shot again. Just 10 percent manage to escape.
DUCKS:A South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks biologist estimates that more than 3 million
wounded ducks go “unretrieved” every year.
