why murder isn't a sport

A dead animal won't make you fashionable

by Stephanie

What would you do if your skin or head was chase after people because of how it appears? Imagine now that people will even kill you for that special skin of yours. You are trapped with nowhere to go and you are forced to be killed and skinned. Throughout this world, we are doing this awful thing but with animals that are vulnerable and defenseless.  We should not kill animals for their fur or even for people’s trophies. We're beyond the caveman stage.  We can move on.

What do people get out of when they claim an animals life? In return they could put up a stuffed head on a wall. The only two main reasons you should kill an animal is for their meat or if it is dying and have no choice. Many legitamate hunters kill in order to have meat. However,  just killing an animal for the fun of it is like a murder.  In the United States, so-called sport hunters kill 100-250 million wild animals every year. They include mourning doves (25%) and squirrels (15%), followed by quail, rabbits, ducks, and woodchucks. Deer constitute 3% of the animals killed by hunters.  In these cases, many of the hunters are going to eat meat.  However, some of them are killing for the sheer sake of having fun. Approximately sixty million animals are left out in the cold and they bleed to death, die of infection or thirst or starve to death. They go unused.

Fur is awful and should be illegal to kill an animal for its fur. Forty million animals are bred in fur ranches. More than 50 million animals are violently killed to be worn once in your life, or merely on a few small occasions. Worst of all they kill them by gassing, electrocution, and neck breaking. Fur-bearing animals are also caught and killed in barbaric body-gripping traps. These animals are going though animal cruelty and the world does not do anything about it. This is bringing some animals to extinction   in the future. Such as this has happen to animals that have been hunted but have disappear forever.

The world should pay more attention to what is going on. It is like if they are blind and can’t see anything. They should make it illegal though out the world and not permit fur at all. That only way you are going to kill an animal is that if you are going to eat it. Killing an animal for the fun of it or for fashion is just ridiculous. Animal have feelings also like us humans. Just think we are taking lives from animals because we think it would look cool if their head was hanging on the wall. Many people should be put in the animal shoes and feel how they go though every day.

Do not kill animals for entertainment or making a bold fashion statement. It is 2009 and not 87 b.c stop killing animal for the fur or any item at all. Animals should just be meet to be eaten and not being trophy alone and not be wearing them clothes. As humans we should not be able to tell when to take a life away from an innocent animal. Animals should just be left alone and be wearing on. Make the world into a better place not a non animal world.
