If you are not eating tofu and wearing plastic shoes you don't have standing in
this fight. Is it wrong to kill the billions of chickens and cows we eat too?
Is the person who hires a hit man morally superior to the hit man?
I am not a hunter but I do understand the need to control the population of
some species, particularly eastern white tail deer, the most deadfly animal in
North America. (kill about 200 people a year in the US) and cause millions of
dollars in crop damage.

heh heh trees kill more people than that. We need to take extreme measures against
this deadly species!

We mow'm down by the billions.

I was looking over this thread again and I saw the fishing analogy. I know
people may catch the target fish and release but all the bait dies.
If you are really a PETA person the bait is the real victim of extreme cruelty.

I know, but it's not enough. Trees are winning, I think they are secretly
cooperating with terrorist networks. People crash their cars into trees, trees fall
on houses during storms, people hurt htmesleves chainsawing trees, the list goes on
and on.

When will the Homeland Security Dept take measures to protect us from this deadly
threat?

Yes, that is true. Reminds me of an old joke that ends, "Doctor, phooey, I'm a
rabbi" but more seriously I want to take up the issue of cruelty to plants. Think
how many are held in captivity across America.....

Actually, that's my 14 yr old son's logic. But, he has a spectrum along
which various kinds of bait exist, in terms of what he's willing to use.
Live minnows - No. Worms - Yes. Likes to eat fish, but refuses to keep
anything he catches.

I kept reminding him about that every time he wanted to go to Wendy's for
lunch. He pointed out that I was nagging him, and he was right. I'd rather
he come fishing with me and put all the fish back. I get to keep enough when
I fish alone.

There is quite a difference in eating chickens, born, raised, killed
and processed in factories than in killing and annihilating a wild
species of animal or fish. I fish, and sometimes take one or two home
to eat. I don't hunt. Seems different to me, can't explain why, but I
don't feel as bad killing a fish as I do a deer. The deadliest animal
in North America is certainly not the whitetail deer, it's the urban
human. Far more people are killed by other people than any and all
other animals yearly. Most by firearms. Most by firearms that belonged
to someone else and was either borrowed, or stolen. So much for not
wanting gun control, huh?
