Sorry, you're dead right of course, and that 'Couldn't care less' statement was simply a 'throw-away' line for the sake of brevity in my post, and DEFINITELY does not convey my true sentiments on that subject.
If you knew my reputation, you would simply have laughed at it.
I've spent a great many years on various organizations fighting exactly what you're referring to - I know full well the final outworking of the hidden implications of the hound hunting issues, and currently conduct various behind-the-scenes thrusts to combat it.

In posting that information, I was wanting to inform the Canadian/US site members of the status and value of Sambar in Australia, not start an even longer and more tedious string on the politics involved.

Rest easy in the knowledge that I am, and always will be, one of the more proactive hunters and anglers in this country. My record over the past 20 years, if you were able to view it, speaks for itself - in volumes.
