Summary/Abstract: In the article, I analyze argumentations of contemporary ethicists and psychologists in favour of forsaking and ethical condemnation of recreational hunting, referred to as an atavistic pastime of killing, as a practice based on drawing satisfaction from inducing fear, suffering and death. I refer to the theory of the moral development of a human by Albert Schweitzer, the views of Richard Ryder - a clinical psychologist, the ethics of Bernard Rollin, and the basic thesis of Paul Hauck - a psychologist.
