Hunting
| More
than 100 million animals are killed each year in the US by less
than 10% of the population. It is estimated that for every
animal a hunter kills and claims, at least two wounded but
un-recovered animals die slowly and painfully from blood loss,
infection, or starvation. Those who don't die can suffer
permanent injury. Animal populations, when left alone, manage
their own numbers based on predator/prey relationships and the
availability of food and habitat. The mass killing of deer,
birds, and other target species goes against nature's system of
balance. Game management practices actually stimulate animal
reproduction, ensuring that hunters always have an
overpopulation excuse. CFA challenges the traditional arguments
used by hunters and exposes hunting for what it is: recreational
slaughter.
