anti-hunting
Opposing wildlife killing
Anti-hunting describes opposition to hunting animals, whether for sport, food, or population control.
The stance may be based on animal welfare concerns, ethical objections, or environmental arguments.
Anti-hunting activists campaign against practices like fox hunting or trophy hunting: The anti-hunting movement gained momentum after the viral photo of the killed lion.
