Hunting

Steph and I did our presentation on the legality of hunting. We brought up different points from each side of the argument and received lots of feedback. We found some videos and images, some graphic, some not, and luckily only Steph was the only one to turn away. I thought that we got the class’ attention with those.

One of the things I would have liked to have been better was maybe a better organized discussion. We seemed to go off topic at times and to be honest some of the students were a bit too passionate about hunting. Also there were some people that didn’t get to talk and I wish they would have spoken up. The other thing that that I wish was better was that the power point presentation could have been longer with the use of case studies. A case study that I would have chose would be that of hunting seals with PETA having an enormous hatred for the hunt.

The positive things that I saw come out of this was that there was quite a bit of discussion to our presentation. Maybe it’s because our world is changing and people are considering other things and not just themselves or on the other side of the spectrum people may be motivated by their history. Whatever it was people really got into hunting.

What I got out of our presentation was that I learned a lot more about hunting and how sometimes it helps and is not all what the media says it is. I believe that we should have the same hunting system that we do now because it really does help other animals and the environment as a whole.
