I guess, that because of overpopulation of humans on the earth, then you should be okay with killing off people, abortion, etc. right? |

Casady Typically, the problem you describe is the result of man encroaching on the natural habit of woodland critters and decimating it. So, we take away the land on which critters live, eat, and breathe, and then we shoot them. There are significantly more deer in the suburbs than there ever have been but the residents would not tolerate repopulating the predators necessary for natural control. It turns out white tail deer are very well adapted to suburban living. I have even seen them on the Whitehurst Freeway in downtown DC. Can you imagine the howl people would put up if we dumped a couple dozen cougars around the beltway and in Rock Creek Park? I doubt they would even tolerate that down in rural Calvert County. (yet they did it near where I live here in SW Florida) A few thousand cougars running loose in Florida could only improve the quality of life for everyone in that state. There are about 120-150 here. We should do the same in Maryland and DC. SW Florida also has a pretty healthy black bear population. They had one living in downtown Ft Myers for several weeks and FWS said they couldn't find it, in spite of cell phone videos showing up on the evening news every couple days. Maybe we should plant a few dozen of them in Rock Creek park too. The dumpsters down town would make them pretty fat. It would give the rats and raccoons some competition. No argument from me, though we already have bears in Maryland. In fact, for a long time I've thought we had a few of them in the woods around here. There have been reports from time to time of cougars in the state. |

Yeah, killing animals saves them. Got it! Yes it does. The species is managed to insure there are plenty of them to shoot. Hunters do a lot more than the animal lobby to actually support the habitat. Is Fox News managing the species of crazy conservatives to ensure there are plenty of them to shoot? |

A lot more deer than the natural world would support. |

I do think it is funny that these avid fish hunters draw the line at killing a deer or a rabbit. Maybe if we rigged an ear of corn with big treble hooks. snagged the deer, dragged the deer up to the truck with a winch, kicking and bleeding. Then put him, live, in an air tight box to slowly suffocate it would be OK. I won't even talk about what fishermen do to the bait. That is down right medieval. I have some issues with "sport hunters," the most significant probably being their referencing what they do as "sport," implying there is something "sporting" about shooting animals with a firearm. I don't do much fishing anymore. I do, however, think it is more sporting than hunting. There's nothing sporting about seeing an elk or a moose a few hundred yards away and then shooting it with a high powered rifle and scope. |
