Opposition Whip Speech Outline - banning blood sports


Against Banning Blood Sports
Katherine Swanson – Opposition Whip

Question – If you had to choose which to shoot with your own hands, would you choose your wife, or your child?
-Morally, banning hunting necessitates banning use of all animal products, domestic and free.
-The very question of banning bloodsports is illogical when you consider the effects
-domestic animals are often killed in a slower, more torturous manner than hunted animals
The purpose: To reiterate what my colleagues have stated

REFUTATION

  • Biblically – nowhere in the Bible does God tell people to refrain from eating meat – we are told to eat meat
    • Value of life; PEETA co-founder states outright that animal lives are more valuable than humans

  • Hunting and fishing is playing our part in the ecosystem & it's preservation To promote balance by controlling overpopulation and disease

  • humans are at the top of the food chain – instructed to eat meat
we are not exempt from the food chain


  • As an Industry – hunting and fishing not only supports families who really do need blood sports to prevent their children from malnutrition
    • Supplies retail, factory, and regulation jobs such as fish and game wardens, who prevent people from over-hunting or poaching
  • Unity builder – community, family, tradition

>>>Restatement<<<
  • According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, hunting is the third-safest sport when compared to 28 other popular sports
    • It has a lower injury rate than tackle football, volleyball, and even golf
  • I urge you to remember that banning hunting would necessitate banning the use of domestic animal products, including bacon, beef, and leather.
  • Imagine a world with no burgers, steaks, leather jackets, or football
  • A world of malnourished Americans and a fast-falling economy
Cast Your Ballots in favor of our beautiful ecosystem-
and HUMANITY.
