There are 30 million deer in the U.S., and because hunting has been an ineffective method to “control” populations (one Pennsylvania hunter “manages” the population and attracts deer by clearing his 600-acre plot of wooded land and planting corn), some wildlife agencies are considering other management techniques.

Several recent studies suggest that sterilization is an effective, long-term solution to overpopulation. A method called TNR (trap, neuter, and return) has been tried on deer in Ithaca, N.Y., and an experimental birth-control vaccine is being used on female deer in Princeton, N.J.

One Georgia study of 1,500 white-tailed deer on Cumberland Island concluded that “if females are captured, marked, and counted, sterilization reduces herd size, even at relatively low annual sterilization rates.”

The delicate balance of ecosystems ensures their own survival, if they are left unaltered. Natural predators help maintain this balance by killing only the sickest and weakest individuals.

Bloodthirsty animal murderers, however, kill any animal whose head they would like to hang over their fireplaces, including large, healthy animals who are needed to keep populations strong.

Elephant poaching is believed to have increased the number of tuskless animals in Africa, and in Canada, hunting has caused bighorn sheep’s horn size to fall by 25 percent in the last 40 years; Nature magazine reports that “the effect on the populations’ genetics is probably deeper.”

Even when unusual natural occurrences cause overpopulation, natural processes work to stabilize the group.

Starvation and disease can be tragic, but they are nature’s ways of ensuring that healthy, strong animals survive and maintain the strength level of the rest of their herd or group.

Shooting an animal because he or she "might starve or become sick" is the arbitrary and destructive act of a cruel sicko.

Not only does the “sport” of hunting jeopardize nature’s balance, it also exacerbates other problems.

For example, the transfer of captive-bred deer and elk between states for the purpose of hunting is believed to have contributed to the epidemic spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD). As a result, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given state wildlife agencies millions of dollars to “manage” deer and elk populations.

The fatal neurological illness that affects these animals has been likened to mad cow disease, and while the USDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim that CWD has no relationship to any similar diseases that affect humans or farmed animals, the slaughter of deer and elk continues.

Another problem with "hunting" involves the introduction of exotic “game” animals who, if they’re able to escape and thrive, pose a threat to native wildlife and established ecosystems.
 
I have nothing to prove to you, but since you ask, I don't use knowingly products that are the result of animal torture or murder.

For over a year, ABC News has followed Omar Samaha on a very personal quest to hold lawmakers to their word. Omar’s sister Reema was one of 32 shot and killed at Virginia Tech. We went with Omar to a gun show in Richmond, Va. — one of hundreds held every weekend across the state of Virginia and the country. We gave Samaha $5,000 and one hour to see how many guns he could buy, and how many questions he would be asked.

By 9:30 in the morning, the parking lot was already packed full of cars. Groups of men, couples and even families with children in tow streamed toward the quickly growing line out front. Samaha, 25, joined the crowds and while waiting on line, he was approached by a seller and given the opportunity to make a quick purchase. He bought a Glock handgun, with no background check, and no questions asked.

gun show loophole translates to people hating the idea that an individual can sell a gun without government approval. Private contracts are constitutionally protected. shove your loophole.
 
you did a good job of avoiding answering the actual question...

since your definitions of murder are not common and have no basis in legal definitions or common definition, i have no clue to what exactly you mean

you're right, you don't have to prove anything, i was just curious as you seem to belittle others for being fearful, calling them cowards, yet you yourself are fearful....you also call meat murder, i just wanted to know you practiced what you so-call preach...
