300 Word Response to "Is Hunting Ethical"

In “Is Hunting Ethical?” Causey supports and explains both sides of the matter. Causey and her husband, a wildlife biologist, had been nursing and treating white-tailed deer fawns for an entire summer. They had gotten a little fawn named Sandy. Sandy was an ill baby who needed care. At one point and time the little fawn, Sandy, quit breathing as she lay in the arms of Causey. Her husband gave the little fawn mouth to mouth while Causey did C.P.R.. Sandy finally lost her battle and passed away. Causey and her husband mourn each death, but the day Sandy died was not convenient. They were attending a dinner where they had to prepare the dish. Her husband had gone out and shot a deer for the dinner, which they had to roast that day.
In the rest of Causey’s essay she shows that the question, “Is hunting ethical?”, can be answered both ways.
I can relate to this essay because I have gone hunting with my father before, but never for the enjoyment in the kill. We went out and shot some birds to have for dinner the next night. Yet I still wondered was going hunting, and successfully killing an innocent creature ethical?! If a person who is going to go hunting can honestly say they are not in it for the kill, and they are hunting for a purpose, then there should be no problem. Also, I have only gone hunting two times in my entire life.
