Hunting is just as necessary for life as breathing. Domestication of animals and agriculture are the unnatural ways that man has invented. So banning it is banning the most natural human behaviour. All other predators do nothing except hunt, breathe, drink, sleep and mate. And they don't keep slaves. There's a lot of people who never drink water, but drinking water is still essential and shouldn't be outlawed.

That doesn't make any sense. What makes hunting any more natural than agriculture? Isn't exerting control over our environment one of the defining characteristics of humanity?

  That's an odd view, were hunter-gatherers less human than us?

  It is more natural because creatures in nature do it. Together with mating, hunting is one of the foundations of life itself for the predator or omnivore class of animals. All the behaviours that we have in common with other mammals are natural and eternal. They can never be legislated away, even though many have tried and they have died. Including kings trying to ban hunting certain game for commoners and having them for themselves.

    "Creatures in nature" also "farm" and have symbiotic and/or co-evolutionary relationships with other species. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20630-zoologger-the-first-non-human-meat-farmers/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20630-zoologger-the-f...

      That's an uninteresting reach, isn't it?

        >>> What makes hunting any more natural than agriculture? >> It is more natural because creatures in nature do it. > "Creatures in nature" also "farm" Thus "hunting" is not "more natural" than agriculture and domestication of other species. If you don't find it interesting that non-human life has been performing behaviors humans think unique to themselves, well that's your problem.

  Additionally, “natural” =/= “necessary to life”. Millions if not billions of people have the means to hunt if they wanted to, yet choose not to. And they are just fine.
