This short story by Richard Connell is a suspenseful favorite of many. Try answering this question:
Is it ever morally right to kill another human being? How is killing in a war different from what Zaroff did?

I Believe that it is Appropriate to kill another Human being. A reason would be in the Wars.Other than that i would not say that it is appropriate. When someone kills someone it should only be because A war is going on or they are getting back for something that person has done to them or a member of their family. Then it would be as an act of defense. The Law of the earth is sometimes said to be as to power over others.Like ruling someone as a king would do.Another would be as to it would be the police in my country they would say even though That someone has killed another that it is not right to kill the one who has killed that person.
I think tha its not right to kill another human when you are not in war. Killing another person can be wrong if it in not in war. On of the reasons when fight in war is because they strike 1st and we need to defend ourselves. I think that war is only to defend ourself. If we are strucken 1st i think it is right to fight. Thank you P.S. I liked thi book
If every one started killing eachother you dont know what the world would become it would come to a end and people would think its okay to rob stores rob houses go to somebodys house get in to a fight and end up killing somebody and the cops would be right there and do nothing about it many people would loose there job people would die of starvation and every one would think you could do whatever you want so I think it should always be a law that you will go to jail if you kill some one if it takes 1 week 1month or even 3 years the killer should go to jail
What Zaroff did was not right.It was INAPPROPRIATE.Killing someone for a Game! it feels so wrong. I mean put yourself in a guest of zaroffs place.Would you want to be hunted like an animal! I know i wouldnt. Or put yourself in Zaroffs place, I mean would you kill someone? I would call someone who kills someone for a game.I would call that person a madman ,or madwoman.
I just cant beleive that someonbe could do that!
But it is a very interesting book Topic. It interested me on a very high level. I give the most dangerous game an 8 out of 10. Hope this is a good post too (^-^)

Sometimes its all right to kill someone like in a war or in self defense.Like if someone pulls a gun at you and they start shooting at you.Other than that there is no reason to kill another human being.Zaroff wanted to kill someone for the fun of it.That is wrong because he made a game out of it.
P.S. I liked the book.It kept you interested and wanting to read more. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I do do not think it is not right to kill anyone in this world. I do not think so because yaou are hearting someone it hears there family. But when Zaroff killed some people it was not right. But when you are in the war you kill people but you are still hearting there family.
Well it depends because if you are in a war it does not matter because you are fighting for your country. If you are killing people like Zaroff did than it would be ok if he did something to your family than it would be ok I think. because it would be appropriate for that person.
I think killing people is wrong. You could go to jail for it. Killing in the war is different because we are killing for our country not just for fun. (^.^)!!!!!!
I dont think that it is right to kill anyone especially for the reason that Genral Zaroff did.Killing people in war isn't good but it is a better reason to kill someone because you are bored with animal hunting.I dont think that animal hunting is right either but I know that we have to eat meat to live but you shouldn't kill an animal just to have animal heads around your house,because animals are living creatures too and they are just like humans but they can't talkand they cant do as many things as humans but they are still living creatures.But it was still an awesome book to read.
I think killing people is wrong.You are taking someones life for no reason.In war killing people is o.k. because we are fighting for our rights.(^.^)!!!!
No I don't thing that is right to kill another human being. I don't thing it is right becouse its all fun and games untill you get cout or someone told on you. Then you will be in deep truble and prbroly go to gail. Now people are saying its ok for the army to kill people but its not ok for us who are not in the army I get that they do have to kll but I still don't thind that right.
My comment is, It is different with general zaroff and the war. Zaroff did it for fun and did it to imuse him self. But killing in war is because you are doing it for your country. Still you are taking a life away but... Zaroff on the other hand was pretty much murduring, to have fun. In the war like i said it is cause you are fighting for your country and something you love.
I strongly disagree with the killing of another human being, I beleive that when fighting for your country it is appropriate, but any othertime it is not and especially in a game. I think general Zaroff would have to have a very cold heart to have done such a thing as killing another man. I do think it is different to kill in war, as long as you are fighting for your country but war is still a very sad thing and I feel sorrow for all those who have lost family in the war, but just remember they died for their country. I think most dangerous game is one of the best books I have ever read, and i think anyone who reads this book will enjoy it very much
I think it is wrong to kill someone even if you are in the war it is just as wrong as just killing a person for no reason. Just becuse you re fighting for your country does not mean you can kill a person. to me it is just plain wrong.
I think it depends...If they attack you then it's self-defense. If it's in war than it's ok. But Zaroff did it for fun and that's not right. This is only my opinion...If you killed someone else then it may be because you think your more powerful than them.
I think it's okay to kill another man if you are in the war. What Genaral Zaroff did was different than a war because Genaral Zaroff killed men for fun.
No it is not right to kill a person because its murder and its just not right. Killing in a war is different because they may have invaded your country and general Zarof did it for fun.
I think people can kill other people in certain circumstances. Killing in a war is differant than the way General Zaroff did. Why is because General Zaroff killedmen for fun.

I Have my own opinion As so Everyone else does.
Hope this Post is ok ^^
It is never moraly right to kill another human because killing someone
is wrong and you can go to jail letalone prison.
I think tha its not right to kill another human when you are not in war. Killing another person can be wrong if it in not in war. On of the reasons when fight in war is because they strike 1st and we need to defend
ourselves. I think that war is only to defend ourself. If we are strucken 1st i think it is right to fight.

no because it is wrong to kill people for no reason or you can kill people if your in the war
I think that killing another man is ok if your in a war. Zaroff killed people for fun and that is wrong to kill another man unless it is in a war.
I think that it is okay to kill if you are in war. It is okay to kill in a war because you are defending your own country and everyone in it.
