People actually read my blog... :)

First of all, I want to say that I’m really glad to make a little discovery today hee...i found out that people actually read my blog...which kind of surprise me as i really just thought that only people i know would read my blog. However, not long ago, i received a comment on the "hunting" entry. i regret that i actually deleted the comment i really wanted to share with all of you but anyway I’ll just try to summarised what that person let's name as Mr. X had said.
Basically, Mr.X disagree with my point, noting that i pointed all the blame of killing animals on hunters and being too stereotype. Mr.X also claimed that, he himself did hunt and claimed that it is true that people kill for money and other horrible stuff but he stated that there are still people who hunt for survival. In addition, he claimed that most of the money he gains from hunting goes back to preservation. Furthermore, Mr.X emphasized that everyone is being guilty for killing animals including me and not just the hunters. He argued that we uses fuel from automobile and electricity which indirectly also cause harm for the animals. ( i think it's because Crude oil that is being used for petrol and stuff like that are collected from habitats of animal and if we indiscriminately gathering those fuel might eventually lead to the lost of habitat for many animals.)

once again i am really please to have comment on what i had wrote :) although it might be someone with different point of views but i really love to hear more different opinions coming along. This makes me feel that my writing did kind of spread to people everywhere hee :)

Anyway, these are some of my reply back for Mr. X. After reading it,everyone, please feel free to tell me more about your own personal feeling. But the base of it is, no unkind words in the comment and please please do not grudge over the entry this is really just personal opnions.






My reply...

I’m certainly glad to hear that you have been playing a part in helping to preserve wetlands. I don’t mean to offence anyone but personally I just feel that hunting animal is wrong. You might have a different point of view but I think this is just a matter of different people having different perspective in situations. As I said earlier in my blog, hunting for survival purpose is definitely not inappropriate. However, am I wrong to say that people nowadays hunt for pleasure? It is true that you are helping in preservation but am I wrong to say that you, yourselves actually enjoy the process of hunting?
Nowadays we don’t need to hunt to get food. Food is always available if we just go to the hypermarket. Why do we need to kill more than what we need? In addition, personally I don’t see the need to hunt in order to preserve wetlands. We can preserve wetlands as long as we have the will to do it. Furthermore, I would like to apologize for my ignorance for not knowing the procedures or rules for legal hunting. I definitely did not know that there are listed animals that you could kill or could not kill. Nevertheless, I still feel that a big part of contribution to endangered animals is because of excessive and indiscriminate hunting (illegally) or for market purpose.
It is true that you pointed out; my existence has an impact on animals. But as I said again in my blog in some other entry, the earth can sacrifice for our need but not greed. Our needs nowadays might not be the same as what our ancestors’ need of survival decades ago. Technology plays a big part. Sometimes computer might have become a need and not greed anymore. It is true though that I used internet for leisure, but I switch it off whenever I don’t need them. But it really didn’t make a difference because, for me, I sign up using green energy for electricity supply to my house, which means the electricity from my house is generated by wind energy instead of fuel. I walk or cycle as long as the journey is not distant. It is true that our existence caused problems for a lot of animals but that is just part of how ecosystem works.
There won’t have any define positive or negative impact. It’s always a little bit of both. It is just a matter of, if it is more towards the negative or positive side. I do consume animals as food but I never buy animal products like skin or horn. I had stop eating endangered animals like shark fin soup! I have participated in many activities that help in the conservation of animals. I personally feel that our existence is to protect them within our ability and not put extra harm on them. But then again, as I said many people might just have a different opinion.
