I am not familiar with his past but I think if you ban him because of this thread YOU are in the wrong, now if there were other issues then fine. His opinion is as valid as anyone else's. I believe he said he was playin the devil's advocate. I am personally against tranqing animals unless absolutely necessary. I have done it many times and got to where I would do it for ease of working with these animals, THAT WAS WRONG AND A CRITICAL ERROR ON MY PART. I accidently killed three of our breeder bucks by tranqing them under stressful situations. I made the mistake and paid for it trifold in one day. This is not ethical in my opinion (stress opinion). I am entitled to it I am an American. I also see ways to accomplish promoting our lifestyle without risking animal lives. They have these fairly new inventions called CAMERAS what is the difference between filming the animals and tranqing them for pics. If an animal is close enough to get a good picture it is more than likely close enough to shoot so why not shoot with a camera??? Just my opinion and it may be wrong butit is the only one I have and I am willing to stand by it. I also will NOT support any organization that supports the WHA. You may not agree with me but the fact remains I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours. People that don't understand the risks and problems associated with what they are proposing will never get the full enjoyment our outdoors has to offer simply said.
