Explain whether or not you think hunting is ethical, addressing either holism or the land ethic (or both) as you express your opinion about the justification of hunting.

Overview
In this discussion, you will explain whether or not you think hunting is ethical, addressing either holism or the land ethic (or both) as you express your opinion about the justification of hunting.

In Chapter 8 of DesJardins, read the discussion topic “Hunting, Ethics, and the Environment” on pp. 177–178. Use information from this reading, as well as other assigned texts from this Module, to answer these discussion questions from the text.

“Is hunting an environmentally responsible activity? On one hand, concern and care for the natural world would seem to count against a practice that intentionally kills animals for sport. On the other hand, hunting can play a role in wildlife management that seems to contribute to healthy ecosystems. While some defenders of animal rights and biocentric ethics argue that hunting is always unethical in all forms, other critics challenge hunting along several dimensions: which animals are hunted, and how, when, why, and with what they are hunted.” (DesJardins 177).

Respond to the question that begins Chapter 8: Is hunting an environmentally responsible activity? (Desjardins 177) Why or why not?
When might hunting be justified, or unjustified, on environmental grounds? Use the land ethic and/or holism to explain.
Is it ironic that there is a code of ethics for hunting, when the entire aim of the hunt is to kill, and this aim is supposed to meet an ethical code? Why or why not? (Desjardins 178)

Post an original thread of approx. 150 words that give at least one idea for growing food during a prolonged flood.

Think about food security and sustainability in an entirely new way. We have always assumed that food was available, though perhaps it was sometimes not equally accessible to everyone (some reasons: income, transportation, ‘food deserts’). But what if circumstances make it difficult to grow food for a significant part of the population? In many parts of the world, recurrent weather conditions can be a barrier to growing crops. Your task for this week:
Please post an original thread of approx. 150 words that give at least one idea for growing food during a prolonged flood. What kind of food would it be? How nutritious do you think it is (could it sustain humans)? How could it be grown? How could you distribute it to people? Provide any kind of reasonable rationale for your answers. Use your imagination to come up with creative solutions — nothing is off limits!
If you can relate it to Hawaii, that’s great but not required
