I won't argue with your #'s RL, I don't know them either. How does the state make up the billions lost in revenue from huntersand how does the state present higher taxes to the already tax burdeoned citizen? Are we going to birth control the raccoons, possums, coyotes, turkeys, and other game to keep their #'s healthy so that disease does not take its' toll and to protect property owners and farmers from property loss and crop damage? Do we put this contraceptive in the entire water system so that all animals are insured a dose?
You make very solid points. Obviously contraception is not realistic now, due to cost and effectiveness, but I was just expressing that when/if contraception becomes "affordable enough" it will get used. Maybe more so in urban areas,where many folkswould prefer not to have hunters/sharp shooters hunting in their neighborhood, but still need to get numbers down.
