What is a fundamental responsibility of hunting?

  1. Maximizing the number of game taken

  2. Ensuring a clean, quick kill to avoid animal suffering

  3. Competing with other hunters for the most game

  4. Hunting as many different species as possible

The correct answer is: Ensuring a clean, quick kill to avoid animal suffering

A is not a fundamental responsibility as taking as much game as possible can harm the overall ecosystem and lead to depletion of certain species. It is important to maintain a balance and consider the health of the environment. C is incorrect because hunting should not be a competitive activity. It should be done responsibly and ethically without the focus on outdoing others. D is also incorrect as responsible hunting involves recognizing and respecting the limits and regulations on hunting specific species.
