No. Barbaric. Suppose that doesn't necessarily make it not a sport, but I'm not gonna be the one to categorise it as one. I actually started a similar thread on the old forum, with some links to some documentaries that would make any good hearted soul raging with anger (the hunters in the documentaries were inundated with death threats, the women with rape threats), but I deleted the thread about 5 minutes after, because I thought to myself "there is enough hate in this world, without me spreading more". Just the kind of guy I am. Purest of pure hearts.  |

You're allowed to make trophies of animals if they attacked you first or if you used a knife or your bare hands. Otherwise I don't see the point. "I sat in a tree for hours and shot something as dumb as a box of rocks." Impressive.

Rather than giving a "complete definition of what sport is," since I haven't actually written one out and I'd not want to do it hastily, don't you consider things like archery, shooting on a shooting range or at least skeet shooting, etc., as well as tracking, hiking, orienteering, etc. sports? Archery and shooting are both in the Olympics even. |

No. And FYI - I'm not being argumentative here. I have an open mind. I live my life by live and let live. But for me personally - I don't regard a majority of what you stated 'sports'. That's just me. Others will disagree. I look at a sport as a 'competition' between individuals. Goes back to what Rey stated above - give these animals weapons as well and maybe we're on to something here. And I LOOOVEEEE Hiking. Love visiting and taking day trips to State Parks throughout the Tri-State area - one of people that can hike 10 miles at 6am in the freezing rain. But I wouldn't consider it a 'Sport'. I also love to 'Surf Fish' at the Jersey and DE beaches. (Catch and release) - I'm a giant Shark Dork and am fascinated with the ocean, the whole atmosphere of 'shark fishing' from the beach - but to call a spade a spade - I wouldn't regard this as a 'sport'. More of a hobby. But that's just me. Great fun - but I always 'Catch and Release' - i.e. - throw the fish back in. |

Archery and shooting are both in the Olympics even. Hiking and tracking are definitely not sports. Orienteering is. Archery and target shooting are sports. They are contests of skill and accuracy between people, with no killing involved. Killing animals for pleasure is not a sport. Just a sign of a diseased brain. |

If folks are looking at it as hunting people, where they're doing it for recreation or exercise, yes, I'd consider that a sport. In considering something a sport, I'm not making any moral judgment about it. I'm just classifying it as a particular sort of activity, done either for exercise or recreation. |

Right, I don't see competition as a necessary criterion for something being a sport, even though many sports are (at least sometimes) done competitively. So would you consider trophy hunting a sport if it were done competitively--for example, simply seeing who can kill the most trophy animals in a given time frame, where people are doing it in the same general location at the same time? |

Nope trophy hunting is certainly not a sport and is in fact barbaric and should be outlawed.

No, it's sick and barbaric. Killing animals for no reason other than so you can get a trophy of their corpse is disgusting and people should be locked up for it. If you enjoy killing animals for no reason, you are a sick psycho and a gutless coward.

No. And I get what you're stating may be viewed as a 'competition' amongst individuals; however the end game is killing defenseless animals unable to protect themselves. There's not much 'sport' in that to me - and again this hearkens back to what some may define as a 'sport'. To me a sport needs some 'pushback' so to speak from the opponent. Somebody at your level, capable of 'defeating' you. I love to 'jog' - but I wouldn't consider this a 'sport'; however 'running' in competition - yes. In my eyes there needs to be an opponent(s) who is willing and able to knock you off your pedestal while he/she is 'competing' against you too. Although hunters and fishers may be 'talented' so to speak in catching game - the animal is not voluntarily participating in the hunt - more of a 'hobby' to me than a sport. |

In the scenario I described, the other people at your level capable of defeating you are the other trophy hunters trying to kill more animals than you in that same general area (for example, a particular game reserve), at the same time. That's just as competitive, in a similar way--and actually, it's in a more complex way where their actions more directly affect your chance of success--to running in a race. You're not competing against the animals, you're competing against other humans. Just like in a race, you're not competing against the track or road, you're competing against other humans. |

These conditions don't apply to hunting. So hunting can never be sport. Trophy hunting is just a way for sick individuals to get their kicks. |

Do you have requirements about cows understanding that their skin is going to be used for baseballs? Or is it okay if the animal's skin is acquired via the animal being killed for other purposes first? |
