The Importance of Hunting Today. This paper discusses the importance of hunting and why it should not be banned. Hunting has been a skill which human life has been dependent on for centuries. Almost from the beginning of mankind, hunting has been the means through which man procured food, clothing, shelter, and tools used in daily living. Hunting was not only a way of life, but also the very sustenance of life. Today, as we rush headlong into a technological world, societies views on hunting are changing. It is estimated that only about 7% of Americans hunt today (Kellert). This low number can be attributed to the fact that strict government regulations and questions concerning the ethics and safety of hunting have discouraged many would-be hunters. In the following pages, I will present the facts about hunting and why I believe it should not be banned, but should remain a vital and natural part of our human existence.
