also, i have a norwegian friend who told me that you could get money from the government if you hunted foxes, since foxes there are also overpopulated and such. is that true o: ? also, idk about how much it'll cost, but i'm kinda planning on hunting rabbits, ducks and pheasants (and a couple more) beside deer. maybe also foxes (but for fur rather for the meat) ^-^

Actually, hunters don't aim for the head because even large animals have tiny brains that are almost impossible to hit. They aim for the heart.
I'm not sure about foxes, but it's likely true what you've been told. There is (at least was) a bounty on crows and a few other animals as well.

Because we almost don't have wolves, bears, lynx and other predators, humans have to take their role. Moose and other animals have no natural enemies any more. 100 years ago here were much more wild predators that kept nature in balance. But farmers don't like it of course, so the numbers of natural predators are kept on a low minimum.

oh yeah, i remember people aiming for the area near the shoulders (or behind the ears also- altho they probably do this with trapped animals alone i haven no idea tbh) o: hmmm, i see o:
ikr. most anti-hunting people are also all like, ''we're animals as well'' and yet they're the ones that try to divide us from all the other species.

being omnivores, we have to take our role in the circle of life as well. ''but we don't have fangs and claws that can aid us in hunting, only man-made guns, which are unnatural''. but yeah ok but would you rather have your environment destroyed, most of your native wildlife killed and basically turn a blind eye to nature? life ain't no disney movie, and i can't see what's so hard to understand about this.

hunters are all about doing the least possible harm to the environment and wildlife in general. what's there to hate about that if people love wildlife so much? i just don't get it. (sorry about the random rant/////)

I respect (and somewhat admire) vegetarians but I'm not prepared to become one myself.

i honestly respect them as well, but lately my respect towards them, and towards vegans also, got less and less the more i saw vegans (mainly) spreading lies about a lot of stuff. about dairy milk, for instance, or how humans are not suited to eat meat (more like lmao?????). also there was this issue with a vegan feeding her obligatory carnivorous dog vegan food.

rice and potatoes and whatever. like, she was willing to risk her pet's health because of her own morals. during these things, i had to force myself to think of vegans/vegetarians that i know who are rad like hell, and who know the truth of many things. but most of them simply live by lies tbh. and what's worse, they play with people's emotions to spread said lies.

most of them are also against peta, yet they have no issues with spreading peta's lies. like, for instance. harvesting crops still demand a huge amount of animal death. also it harms the environment a lot. hunting and fishing, on the other hand, do the least harm possible, for both animals and the environment. get so called animal loving vegans would bash hunters anytime soon.

not to mention of how funny it that they fail to see that their cheap crops would be inaccessible, weren't it for hunters and trappers. therefore, i really, really have some issues respecting them. like i said, i really have to force myself of vegans and vegetarians that are not like that at all, but in general... they still look a little off if you ask me :<

"a vegan feeding her obligatory carnivorous dog vegan food."
LOL! (But it's actually animal neglect which is sad.)

You're clearly a very rational person who thinks, so I just wonder how you think and feel about pigs as food? Islam forbid it, and in India cattle is taboo as food. It's not rational in my opinion. I suspect that the ban on pig meat might have been rational at one point in time, pigs may have a dangerous parasite. But it's very safe when cooked and it's one of the more healthy (not red) types of meat.

i think that's just a matter of morals. i find it odd as well that eating cattle is taboo in india, since we're still omnivores, no matter how you look at it. but i don't think i can talk for india since i can't really understand them :< as for the islam, on the other hand, eating pork is forbidden, because pigs are omnivores as well.

people tend to create these legends and stories to excuse as to why eating pork is forbidden, but it's really only because they're omnivores. muslims aren't allowed to eat carnivores as well, for that matter. only herbivores- altho horses are an exception, since they had aided humanity in times of war and therefore are seen as noble animals.

I guess pigs can eat pretty much anything, but I think it's illegal to feed them meat. I don't know why it's illegal, neither from a legal or religious perspective. Goats are not very popular as food here, but I know it's common to eat them elsewhere. And goats can eat anything that can be chewed, so why are they not considered omnivores if pigs are?

Until some years ago it was common practice in Europe to add meat in the form of powder to feed cattle. Then it was suspected it had something to do with a cattle disease and the practice was banned. Maybe this is why feeding meat to pigs are illegal, but I have not heard about pigs getting that disease, I don't recall the name of the disease but I think it's the same that was called cow madness.

Fish eats fish and no one says it's bad or wrong for us to eat fish. People have been eating polar bear too, and the only reason why we don't do it is because they are an endangered species.

The problem seems to be I try to see the logic behind rules, and often I don't see it...

well, goats are still classified as herbivores, obligatory at that. meaning that they can and will eat meat from time to time when given the chance (or anything else also), which goes for deer, squirrels, rabbits, songbirds and a couple more of animals as well. however, the majority of their diet still consists of plant matter. with pigs, it's p much 50/50. that's the biggest difference here o:

hmm, i see. well, tbh it's p stupid to feed obligatory herbivores meat. i think pigs won't really have a problem with that (altho the idea of feeding anything at all /powdered meat/ is kinda repulsive if you ask me :< ). i think they did that because it was somehow cheaper?
