Arguments in favor of hunting
Hunting is not a crime in any sense so long as the meat is needed and doesn't go to waste.
Hell most vegans still need to feed a cat or a dog so even they could go hunting for the right reasons.
In some cases hunting is a good thing since it keep animal populations from over population thus protecting the ecosystem.[1] (This is presumably the case when the top predators are no longer present - how does hunting compare with the actions of these predators? Can particular hunting practices help the ecosystem achieve a healthy state? [expansion needed])
Yes According to Jimmy Carter's book "Our endangered Values" [2].
In addition to these matters hunting and fishing licenses are needed to protect Americas wildlands.
