Those types of articles make me sick, and the fact that probably 3/4 of the responses were anti-hunting just scares me. There weren't too many people on that message board defending hunting. I like the idea of not hunting for a few years and seeing how long it takes the government to come begging the hunters to thin out the herd. I'd be all for it if I didnt love hunting sooooo much. I'd bet even then the anti's would find something to complain about. I chuckled at one of the replies in particular. "It sickens me to be subjected to photos of dead animals when I read the newspaper over my morning cup of coffee." I bet she pampers her high horse. It could have only been funnier if she said something about eating bacon or ham or sausage for breakfast. I wonder what she thinks when/ifshe sees vehicle-killed animals on the roads, or what she would be saying if her car got totalled or God forbid somebody she knows got hurt in a deer-vehicle collision. Hunters help keep insurance costs down in areas where deer-vehicle collisions are common. this all kind of reminds me of the previews i've seen for the new Will Smith movie, "i am legend" with all the animals running all over the city. It would most likely come down to that if we stopped hunting. then instead of being subjected to photos of dead animals, it would photos of animal attacks on humans, and habitat loss is much more of a problem to any animals than hunting ever will be. I'm done ranting, stuff like this really grinds my gears.
