  1. Morality of Hunting By: Brittany Clarke

  2. Background on Hunting Debate • For many years anti-hunting groups have been trying to stop states from having legal hunting seasons. • For the thousands of people that hunt it has been a constant battle to maintain that privilege. • Many seasons have been banned but there are also many seasons that need to be extended do to overwhelming animal populations.

  3. Thesis • There are many ethical questions about whether or not hunting is morally right or wrong so having a quota system between the two oppositions could be a happy medium.

  4. Pros to Hunting • Access to food • Great source of protein • Fairly inexpensive • If packaged properly the meat will last all year long • Popular hobby/recreational activity • All members of the family can participate • Multi-billion dollar industry • Regulate population of animals • DNR does various population checks • Migrating issues

  5. Cons to Hunting • Unnecessary way to obtain food • Other ways to have food • Hunting tactics often wound and stress animals • Unnecessary and unfair • Improvements to firearms • Devices that eliminate animal survival senses • Wrong to kill animals • Personal reasons and views • Various religious beliefs

  6. Mediation • While extremists exists, respectable people could be satisfied perhaps by a quota system. • A concept of a quota system is only having a select number of animals to be harvested in order to prevent over population. • The amount to be harvested would be determined by population checks by the DNR and by what conversationalists deem necessary.

  8. Comments and Grade • ___X__Workshopped. / Overall Comments: What happened on that Works Cited? You’ve provided corrected Web citation before. So too, what happened with your in-text citation? That’s been better in the past as well. A shame about these breakdowns, because the paper is in many ways you best work. Each ¶ & section has a clear purpose, and transitions guide us effectively. The opening three or four ¶s in fact are A work, polished & substantial. Later, the section on opposition to hunting isn’t quite so strong — especially that last ¶ about moral or religious objections. You come up with no authorities in support (like a religious leader). In general the ending’s a letdown. But if your citation had been right, this would’ve made B, easy. Citation is a major component of the curriculum. B- or 82.
