A lot of people are for hunting, and some are. Some people don't really care whether animals get killed. Well, they're neutral.
When people first think of hunting or hear the word killed, they automatically think it's wrong, but that is not the whole story.
There's a lot of reasons why people hunt animals and for reasonable reasons too.
 I'm going to name 5 reasons why it's right to hunt, and why it's not.

FOR HUNTING: - Hunting controls the population. - It's a freedom of choice/ Personal Freedom. - Hunting is a tradition. - Vehicles incidents. - Animals with diseases. - We need hunting on Earth, because without hunting the animal population would get higher and if we don't kill them, it will over populate. If animals over populate, there will be no more space for humans. Humans need the space, and that's something we need to do in order to live. - In some states it's legal to hunt. So the people in those states have the right to hunt. And the people that don't need to hunt, they don't have to. So it's basically it's your freedom of choice. - Some families believe hunting as a tradition, and it probably ran in the family for a long time. Those families sometimes even go out hunting with their family as a trip. - Deer have cause more than 500,000 auto accidents a year. They eat billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables crops each year. - Some animals have diseases, and we don't even know about it. For example Lyme disease which is found in deer.  So by hunting them, we will help lower the probability of spreading the disease.

AGAINST HUNTING: - Animals feel pain. - Animals fight for their life - Shouldn't be harmed to benefit humans. - Cruelty - Animals don't have voices, but we do. - When a person triggers that gun and shoots that animal, it might not hit the animal in the direct spot it was supposed to be, which may causes the animal too feel a painful death. - Some animals aren't built to run as long as other animals, so the animal runs for their life, it's out of breath, and eventually it dies anyway. - Some people also believe that it's wrong to hunt animals just to benefit humans. What if animals wanted to kill humans just to benefit themselves? - It's cruel, because your killing a living thing, and if we were animals we sure wouldn't like to be killed either. - When people hunt, we say it's wrong, but they still don't listen. But we can find another way to stop hunting. Animals die painfully, and since were humans, we have voices, and since we have voices, we can speak up and say that's not right. Animals can't talk, and if they could, I'm sure they would want hunting to stop.

I think hunting is for a good cause, because we need to control the population. But I also don't like seeing animals getting hurt. So basically I'm  neutral, but more for it, because of the population problem.
