Hunters trade shots over deer breeding, killing methods


http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/15/hunters-trade-shots-over-deer-breeding-killing-methods/

 
I read an article about deer breeding and killing methods. The author states the more and bigger the antlers, the more valued the deer is in hunting circles. According to the article, there are two ways to hunt deer and sell their antlers. The hunters who utilize the old-fashion way stalk the deer through the woods and hunt them for their big antlers. The other method, however, utilizes a modernized approach by genetically cloning deer with enlarged antlers. The people who utilize the older method criticizes deer breeding groups that breeding deer for bigger antlers is an immoral behavior. People who hunt wild deer also said that the deer has to have a fair chance to escape. It means there is a code of ethics. However, according to other deer breeding groups, both killing deer in the wild and killing them in an enclosed space are the same. Laura Caroll, who owns the deer breeding company, also said, "They have the right to do that because it isn't to hunt. They just want the head to mount on their wall." In my opinion, the critics are claiming that one method of killing deer is not same from another way of killing deer, but the result is same. Both are killing deer and have the purpose of selling their big antlers.
