In hunting, what is the purpose of a 'quick kill'?

  1. To ensure the animal does not suffer

  2. To make the hunting trip shorter

  3. To impress other hunters with your skills

  4. To make it easier to transport the game

The correct answer is: To ensure the animal does not suffer

A 'quick kill' is the term used to describe a hunting technique that aims to kill the animal as quickly and humanely as possible. This is done to ensure that the animal does not suffer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the ethical and humane purpose of hunting. Option B implies a selfish motive, option C focuses on impressing others rather than the well-being of the animal, and option D only considers the convenience of the hunter rather than the welfare of the animal.
