Well i disagree he lives near fairbanks there is plenty of food to buy there, there is no reason to kill animals for sport these days.
If you consume the animal and utilize as much of the carcass as you can, and kill it humanely, what's the issue? Just because food is available to buy doesn't mean hunting isn't something that can be economical. Especially if there is an abundance of the animal in question. If it's endangered it's a dick move - if it has a sizable population, hunting is often actively encouraged so as to help cull the numbers and ensure property isn't destroyed by too large of a wild population.
In many areas the population continues to bounce back regularly, so there are often annual hunting permits. Their is a such thing as illegal sport hunting and it should remain illegal. When controlled and regulated, we help maintain a balance that works in everybody's favor. Remember too large a population can also cause undue suffering for those very animals: it can stretch resources and cause many to starve, while also resulting in them encroaching more on human territory to find resources, while posing a safety risk such as when they cross roads. It's a lose/lose if we don't keep populations in check.
I don't even hunt, never have in my life. I've been interested but generally just don't care to bother.
