What it is Filled

A person who pursues and kills or captures wild animals for food, sport, population management or trade, including bow hunters, huntsmen who manage hounds in organised hunts, fox hunters and subsistence hunters; the registry aliases also include fictional archetypes such as vampire hunters, devil hunters and dragonslayers, which belong to fiction and folklore. Hunting is regulated by law and debated on welfare and conservation grounds, and the model presents these debates neutrally.
