Is sport hunting necessary to maintain balance in nature, or is it simply cruel? Does sport hunting actually affect anything in our world or does it simply cause unnecessary pain and suffering to animals? The controversy over the legality or otherwise of sport hunting has been going on for a very long time. Both sides have extremely valid reasons why their opinion is correct, but this is an argument that will be completely settled or accepted. Sport hunting is profitable and entertaining for some, but it is also cruel and unethical for others and the animals who must suffer from it. Sport hunting has existed since the existence of the human race. Back then we needed it to survive and have a meal, but today that's not really the case anymore.
