Kill It & Grill It: How Does God Feel About It?
Recently I had an email from a fella named David Caddell in KY. He's an avid outdoorsman, and we got to talking about how to respond to people who are anti-hunting.
So I wanted your insights. Let's don't hammer the "anti" people for being stupid, elitists, etc. No time for that. Let's talk about the theological issues. None of us here are professional theologians anyway. So let's talk about it in real world ways.
What kind of justification do you think there is, from a Biblical perpsective, on the allowance of hunting and fishing?

I'm drawn more to the passages in Genesis 8 and 9 - the end of the Great Flood.
Moses exits the ark, builds an alter to the Lord, takes some of every kind of clean animal and bird and offers a burnt offering to the Lord. The aroma was pleasing to the Lord.
Next, God blesses Noah and gives them the command to go out and get busy, then says every bird, animal and fish is under their authority; "every living creature will be food for you" ... "I have given you everything."
I concur with past comments. This doesn't mean we go shooting fish in a barrel, so to speak. There is responsibility in authority.
I have always been amazed that the very same people who complain about hunters and animal rights are the same ones who are in favor of abortion.
