Ontario Hunting License Practice Exam

What is a principle of ethical hunting related to useable parts of the animal?

1. Letting them go to waste

2. Selling them for profit

3. Giving them to other people if needed

4. Only keeping trophies

The correct answer is: Giving them to other people if needed

Ethical hunting is about respecting and valuing the animals we hunt. This includes utilizing as much of the animal as possible and minimizing waste. Option A, letting the useable parts of the animal go to waste, goes against this principle and is therefore incorrect. Option B, selling the useable parts for profit, also goes against this principle by treating the animal as a commodity rather than a living being. Option D, keeping only trophies, only focuses on using part of the animal instead of the whole animal. Option C, giving the useable parts to those who can use them, is the best answer as it ensures respectful and responsible use of the animal's body.
