Sure there have been abuses of wildlife by market hunting but this is not hunting, in the sense we're talking about, is it ? That line of thinking would also tie us in to the massacre of various Indian tribes. Your arguments are getting desperate. Under current hunting and game management, animal populations have risen dramatically and hunter contributions have both created and preserved millions of acres of wildlife habitat. What has YOUR contribution been (besides unfounded condemnation) ?
