Well it figures that you'd think that killing an animal is saving it. Figures you would bring it down to the single animal level to make a point, when the conversation is about hunting in general... Frekin' engineers...snicker What engineers came up with the notion that hunting in general is a good thing? But, it DOES come down to the single animal. It's that simple. I guess, that because of overpopulation of humans on the earth, then you should be okay with killing off people, abortion, etc. right? Without the money hunters pump into the system you might actually come down to that single animal, starving to death and bringing on extinction. The animal lovers barely collect enough money to support their own bureaucracy and put virtually nothing into conservation efforts. The best example is the hunting ranches in Texas that hold the largest populations of endangered African animals on the planet. Without the incentive of allowing someone to shoot one now and then for outrageous amounts of money, they would simply go extinct. These ranchers ensure that there is always a healthy breeding population and suitable habitat for them. That is a lot more than the Africans are doing. I find it strange that the animal rights people would rather see an entire species go extinct than to allow them to be managed for profit. I wonder what our grand kids would say about that after the animals are gone forever. I know that in the imaginary utopia you lefties live in, animal lovers would buy and maintain millions of acres of pristine habitat for the animals to live in peace but the fact is, the animal lovers want someone else to pay for that. Those people are hunters. They do it via a surcharge on all hunting equipment, license fees, private club dues and direct payments to land owners for the right to hunt there. Well, kill 'em all then. You will if you shut down the hunting ranches where these exotics are raised. It is certain that the Africans are not going to save them. I suppose to pseudo machomen, "canned" hunting is real. I am not a fan of canned hunts but I am more opposed to extinction. In fact most of these exotic hunts do not guarantee that the hunter actually gets anything. You mean, they let the animals out of their pens for the "hunt"? :) |
