Hunter's Safety Course

          The hunter's safety course began in New York in the late 1940's as a response to the increase of hunting related accidents. As hunting gained popularity after World War II, there was a need to educate new hunters about safety protocols to prevent accidents. These programs were so successful that they've been adopted across the USA and in several other countries.

           Anti-hunting supporters are a group of individuals who believe in the protection and preservation of wildlife. They wish that their wouldn't be hunting in general. They argue that hunting disrupts ecosystems and contributes to the extinction of certain species. They are standing strong against the "attack", advocating for alternatives like wildlife photography and nature observation. They are always striving for a balance between human activities and nature's wellbeing. They believe every creature has its place in the ecosystem. They believe that poaching is also ruling the hunting the world, and that hunters are terrible people.

           Pro-hunting supporters view hunting as a means of wildlife management and conservation. They believe that young hunters should take the hunter's safety course so they understand what hunting safety is. They see themselves as the pillars holding up the balance of nature, just like a well-built bridge supports traffic. They argue that regulated hunting can help maintain a healthy population of wildlife, preventing overpopulation and disease spread. They also value the tradition and survival skills associated with hunting, and see it as a way to connect with nature. They stand for their beliefs even through their differing opinions. 

          I believe that anti-hunting supporters are not right. I have been hunting for many years with my dad. My dad got into hunting through a friend, and then when I was old enough I wanted to hunt as soon as I could. I believe all young teens that hunt should have to take the hunter's safety course around fourteen years old. I will support hunting for the rest of my life, and I do believe that poaching is terrible for the hunting world. Hunters contribute averagly $500 million each year by supporting the hunting public and buying tags, and liscense for hunting. On the other hand, anti-hunting groups have generated more revenue for the hunting world.

 

Do you think teens should have to take the hunter's safety course?

How old do you think teens should be when they take it?

Do you think hunting should be condemmed or thrive through the world?

    • I agree with kids having to take the course. They need to know how to properly handle a gun. They also need to have a safe, reliable gun that will not malfunction.
