I like elephants to. I like deer to. I like every kind of wildlife. And hunting, and meat on my plate, and have a good life and many more things....
The idea behind that statement is what the anti's can't get into their sick, little minds. So many people out there don't understand that hunters, in most cases, truly love the animals that they pursue. I have seen countless instances on the news where a game animal will be fighting for its life and will eventually be rescued by a hunter, and the newscaster will say something like, "And the animal was pulled from the pit by, you'll never guess who, A HUNTER!" What a bunch of BS.
Now, getting back to the original subject... It is important for each of us to evaluate the need to keep nature's balance in check the best we can and we should support each other even if we, personally wouldn't have an interest in taking a particular type of animal. One type of hunting is no more right or wrong than any other type of hunting. To each his own, in my book.
