Hunting in your nation

by **Benum Landum II** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 7:50 pm

Is hunting a popular activity in your nation's culture?
Yes. In Bæným Lanðým, hunting is a tradition that dates all the way back to when the Anglo-Saxons inhabited this region.

What types of animals are hunted in your nation? What is the purpose of hunting - for meat, fur, or sport?
We hunt large animals (bears, moose, deer, etc.) for their meat. Smaller animals (beavers, foxes, wolves, etc.) are hunted for their pelts. All of them are sometimes also hunted for recreational purposes.

What is the legal status of hunting in your nation? Is a license required? Are there certain methods of hunting banned?
There are absolutely no restrictions or licensing requirements for hunting anywhere in Bæným Lanðým.

Are any species of animals off-limits for hunting? Are there periods of time (hunting seasons), outside of which hunting a species of animal is prohibited?
No and no. The whole idea of protected species and hunting seasons is considered ridiculous in Bæným Lanðým. We believe that people should be allowed to hunt whatever they want, whenever they want.

Is hunting a popular activity in your nation's culture?

Not really. Most Sidhae live in cities and haven't even seen live animals in their lives, asides from the few species that thrive in urban environment. Hunting is largely a practice of Frontier settlers.

What types of animals are hunted in your nation? What is the purpose of hunting - for meat, fur, or sport?

Sidhae generally reject the notion of hunting as sport, seeing the act of killing mindless beasts as rather lacking in challenge. The purpose of hunting is therefore purely practical - to obtain food, clothing and whatnot. Making the most out of each kill is a must, ideally nothing being left to waste - not so much out of ethical concerns as of efficiency.

What is the legal status of hunting in your nation? Is a license required? Are there certain methods of hunting banned?

There are minimal restrictions on hunting, seeing how it is mostly practiced out of necessity on Frontier worlds. Hunting methods that result in waste and excessive destruction of game species are both a social taboo and legally forbidden.

Are any species of animals off-limits for hunting? Are there periods of time (hunting seasons), outside of which hunting a species of animal is prohibited?

Extremely so. Though for this I will just state hunting is pursuing animals with the intent of killing them, though it specifically excludes fishing.

What types of animals are hunted in your nation? What is the purpose of hunting - for meat, fur, or sport?
All kinds of animals I suppose. Notable species, often farmed for hunting, are boars, human slaves, bison, rhinos, bears, big cats, and other ungulates. Most popular is for coats and sports but as all parts of the animal must be used the meat is usually eaten.

It is legal but requires a license. Hunting licenses are nearly identical to gun licenses in the nation, though it is possible to have a hunting license but not a gun license.

Trapping, which historically hasn't even been used in the nation, is not allowed as they are indiscriminate.

Is hunting a popular activity in your nation's culture?

by **Frenequesta** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 11:06 pm

Is hunting a popular activity in your nation's culture?
Not particularly. Gun laws have been historically strict, so rifles and such were somewhat hard to get. Today the laws are more liberal, although even today many hunters do not actually own their own guns or ammunition-- they are often rented either via the government or a private shooting range/hunting preserve company, a practice carried over from the more restrictive days.

More importantly, the traditional game often pursued by hunting has been somewhat rare: Only small animals were brought over in large numbers during the Joint Venture expedition, and even those were not intended to satisfy a hunting crowd. So hunting had always been a limited opportunity for Freneq-Joplinians, and interest in the sport remains low.

What types of animals are hunted in your nation? What is the purpose of hunting - for meat, fur, or sport?
Where it is legal, red foxes, rabbits, and turkeys are common targets. Of course, these are the non-native species-- species native to Frenequesta are also hunted, such as bingwings, davanarts, and seswikis. Most of the time hunting is done for sport, though bingwings are considered a delicacy and may be hunted for food.

What is the legal status of hunting in your nation? Is a license required? Are there certain methods of hunting banned?
Essentially, if you can own (or rent, as mentioned above) a gun (that is, you pass the background checks and safety courses required), you can hunt. Hunting can only be done with conventional firearms, precision drones, net weapons, trained animals, or bows and arrows, and must not cause "prolonged or excessive pain" between the strike and moment of death. Other than that, there are few hunting method restrictions, although using dogs or other animals in the chase is often considered too much of a liability for both the hunter and the operator of the hunting preserve, and is discouraged.

We should note here that "trapping" and "hunting" are considered legally different in Frenequesta-- the latter specifies that "the actor intend to kill or disable the animal by means of an apparatus normally constantly mobile, either with the actor or remotely operated by the actor" while trapping uses apparatus that is normally "fixed in a specific place and direct to the victim" when in use. This legal difference is mostly relevant when the question arises of who can hunt and liability issues related to hunting methods; insofar as conservation regulations go they are identical.

Are any species of animals off-limits for hunting? Are there periods of time (hunting seasons), outside of which hunting a species of animal is prohibited?
Any animal on the National Registry of Endangered, Threatened, and Rare Species is off limits for hunters with the exception of scientific study of those species. Every animal not on this list and normally considered "wild" has a hunting season dependent on breeding seasons, but may also vary depending on conservation considerations.

by **YellowApple** » Sun Apr 26, 2015 3:21 pm

Is hunting a popular activity in your nation's culture?

Depends on the locale. Most YellowApplans live in relatively-tight confines with artificially-maintained environments, leaving minimal room for green spaces at all, let alone green spaces with any wildlife, additionally let alone green spaces with wildlife eligible for hunting.

However, some YellowApplans do reside on planets and moons with complex organisms worthy of hunting. This is particularly true in the Concordia system (among the few systems which YellowApple, Inc. claims full jurisdiction over), which has a total of three hypothetically-habitable planets, at least two of which possessing complex organisms worthy of "hunting").

What types of animals are hunted in your nation? What is the purpose of hunting - for meat, fur, or sport?

Animals (and animal-like complex organisms beyond Earth) are typically hunted for meat/fur in a subsistence role or for population control prescribed by the YellowApple Department of Infrastructure. Hunting for sport is rare within YellowApplan jurisdiction, though some YellowApplans are sport hunters (usually doing their hunting abroad).

What is the legal status of hunting in your nation? Is a license required? Are there certain methods of hunting banned?

Subsistence hunting (for meat and fur) is legal with few restrictions in newly-colonized areas (where supply chains might have yet to be established), with restrictions on specific game types increasing as the presiding colony stabilizes.

In areas where wildlife poses a significant threat to safety or property, the YellowApple Department of Infrastructure may periodically issue hunting permits for the areas surrounding specific surface settlements in order to control wildlife populations and return them to pre-YellowApplan-arrival parameters.

Commercial hunting (such as for commercial resale of meat, furs, etc.) is typically heavily restricted, if not outright banned, on a per-locality basis. However, self-sustaining domestication of wildlife as livestock is legal with a specialized permit from the Department of Infrastructure (which is why, for example, ivory is legal within YellowApplan jurisdiction; elephant ranches have been able to keep up with demand without adversely affecting wild populations).

In all cases, humane kills are required. Trapping is specifically forbidden for large game, and traps for small game must be either immediately lethal (if unmonitored), be responded to within one hexadecimal kilosecond (4096 seconds; approx. 1 hour 8 minutes), or provide adequate food, water, breathable air, and shelter from the elements until the trap is responded to. Use of a firearm is preferred in most cases, so long as shots are either instantly lethal (or at least reasonably attempted to be lethal) or accompanied with a tranquilizer in order to quickly eliminate pain and consciousness. Use of poison is illegal under the vast majority of circumstances (the few exceptions usually consisting of a poison/tranquilizer combination).

It's worth noting that the same regulations applicable to hunting are generally also applicable to pest control (which is, under YellowApplan law, treated as a special case of hunting).

Are any species of animals off-limits for hunting? Are there periods of time (hunting seasons), outside of which hunting a species of animal is prohibited?

YellowApple, Inc. generally forbids hunting of species classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as "Vulnerable", "Endangered", "Critically Endangered", "Extinct in the Wild", or "Extinct". YellowApple, Inc. also frequently sponsors organizations whcih enforce international laws pertaining to wildlife conservation (if not directly participating in such operations itself).
