Not in the way a thinking creature of volitional consciousness does, not at all.
Lol at "volitional consciousness".

Human beings are the only creatures of volitional consciousness. We are the only creatures that can actively and consciously work towards our own destruction, or our own betterment.Lol at "volitional consciousness".

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Don't rule 34 shame.
I don't think i've actually heard people say that on this board. I think people are generally fine with hunting, as long as it's for food, and it's not some endangered animal.
These people that hunt endangered animals and pose next to them with giant smiles on their faces are psychopaths in training--I'm more than ok with some jungle vengeance for them.
For me, it is purely these people that kill exotic animals purely for sport.I've heard it a few times. It's likely trolling.
I just think there is too much nuance to make sweeping generalizations. Are we talking about shooting a beaver in the face? Hunting elk and mounting it? One can hunt for sport and not be a sociopath.
I agree there's some weirdos out there that deserve scorn who are cruel to animals, some people kill just to kill, but this does not describe the average hunter. Too many of these threads don't care about nuance, people just want to grandstand.

I've been hunting with my grandfather. I am not against hunting. I understand there is skill to it, and I can understand being proud of a successful hunt.
But a lot of these guys are doing these canned hunts, and then taking pictures with dead animals for their Facebook and Instagram feeds. They're just attention whores.
I've killed animals for food, so it is even harder for me to wrap my mind around taking pictures and playing and posing with the bodies.
These people don't see this animal as a life, but just an object--and that is psycho shit in my book.
?
What is so funny?
Here is a clip of the shooting, and if this doesn´t wake any feelings, I do feel sorry for you. It´s not only women who can cry.
This clip doesn´t include the men and women who was witnessing this traumatic event, but they were all crying.
I will share something related for those who might consider morality, politics, human cruelty, and all wrapped together in the context of colonialism.

Because we have a limited amount of empathy?Yeah, shit like this is boring as fuck. Find something else to get indignant about. Like other human beings, you know, the ones you pass on the street everyday.
Disgusting people.
Yeah some humans are evil.
It’s a spot.I can't tell if that cat's eye is open in a death stare or if there is a perfectly placed spot on its closed eyelid.
Reminds me of a Paul Stamets quote: Imagine if all the other living beings could vote us off.We are a cancer, and I hope to god this planet wipes us out before it's too late

Paraphrased but you get the point.
