That works. Iâm not saying you canât hunt with other methods. Iâm just saying that I canât see much of an argument against the use of leadless firearms for hunting, besides a weak gun control one (hunting weapons arenât a significant portion of the danger from firearms, mostly handguns or rifles like the AR-15). People can hunt however they want, or not at all, as long as it is controlled to healthy levels and doesnât cause any other issues, and, ideally doesnât cause unnecessary suffering to the animal.

There isnât any argument for gun control. Tell the CIA to stop grooming kids on Discord and Telegram to do school shootings, problem solved. Notice this never happens in Iceland. Thatâs because their version of the CIA isnât on Discord.

Scenario A: Youâre minding your own business, when a bullet passes through your heart/lungs and youâre dead in seconds.
Scenario B: You get caught in a trap and wait for hours for an ape with a knife or a bolt gun to come along and finish the job.
Honestly, if I were an animal, Iâd prefer Scenario A.

Have-A-Heart traps are used by animal welfare groups and animal shelters, so I donât know if itâs so bad to wait in the trap, unless said animal groups are incorrect to use said traps. Admittedly, cats who have never encountered these traps sometimes freak out when first trapped, and cats who have seen them before can outsmart them easily. Iâve never thought they were good for trapping cats, as they are specifically designed NOT to trap cats.
Have-A-Heart traps are intended to trap furbearing animals but allow for the release of cats, dogs or endagered species. Youâve probably seen them before. These staps are box rectangle shaped, chrome colored, and are activated when the animal places their weight on the lever in the back of the trap. These are also called double door traps.
Bolt guns are commonly used in animal slaughter and are often considered âhumane.â If you eat red meat, the cow was likely killed with a captive bolt gun.
