So, we take away the land on which critters live, eat, and breathe, and then we shoot them. |

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) The fox take care of the rodent population, cats are rodents in my book. This is the Gods honest truth. I watched a fox chase a cat and tree him/her, in my back yard. After a period of time, 15-30 minutes as I recall, with the fox still patiently waiting at the base of the tree, the cat climbed down the tree, swatted the fox in the nose, and ran off. The bewildered fox didn't give chase. |

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. |

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. |

Well, it is less sporting because fishing for big pelagics is a lot more dangerous than shooting a moose or an elk, but I'm not a fan of that sort of "hunting," either. It is basically the same as the canned hunt you are talking about on a game ranch and I am not sure where the danger is ... unless the boat sinks. I wasn't making a comparison to a canned hunt but to "regular" hunting, and if you've never been aboard a boat targeting 500-pound fish, you have no idea of the dangers involved...that have nothing to do with the boat sinking. |

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 guess, that because of overpopulation of humans on the earth, then you should be okay with killing off people, abortion, etc. right? We do it all the time. It is called war. The US has killed about a million brown people, either directly or by proxy, since 1991(Iraq, Afghanistan and any number of smaller little skirmishes). So we should be able to go take a hunter's safety course, pay a license fee and start killing people for sport? How did your pea-brain come to that conclusion? |

You mean, they let the animals out of their pens for the "hunt"? :) |
