Responding to the post, one follower commented, “sorry, how is shooting and killing an innocent animal (who is likely part of a family) fun?” Another said, “love the Duggars, but I hate the sport of hunting… even if they eat the meat. Never will I understand how it is that people can love killing.” Likewise, another follower said, “right?! Who’s excited to slaughter animals….?” Yet another noted, “No amount of justification from anyone will change my mind on this most barbaric of sports. Different opinions.”

However loyal fans and those who enjoy hunting defenced Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth. One of them noted, “My dad is a hunter and a conservationist. Does he enjoy hunting? Yes. But he will tell you it’s not about the kill but the ability to feed his family and to help the environment through keeping the numbers controlled. He grew up dirt poor and most nights if they didn’t kill squirrels or rabbits they wouldn’t have enough to eat. Are there some who enjoy killing? Yes. I’ve met some of them. But most hunters I know feel the way my dad does. Better meat for sure and definitely helping the environment.”

They feel it’s “cleaner” than grocery meat as it does away with the packaging and there’s no waste. What do you think? Do you think Joy-Anna Forsyth enjoying hunting Elk is a good or bad thing?
