I kind of wish these animal activists would define hunting into 2 categories. 1. Hunting to fill your freezer and 2. African trophy hunting. I deer hunt not so much to trophy hunt (dont get me wrong if mr 180" deer comes out I amon him like stink on sh$%) butto put food on the table and that is a God given right. African Trophy hunting being termed a God given right I don't exactly agree with. I know groups like SCI are big hunting right supporters but from what I see on their TV shows is exactly what the antihunting groups see. Some overpaid business executive being trucked around shooting critters that I am pretty sure he isn't going to eat and all he wants is he wants is the head. I beleive God gave us the right to hunt in order to feed and protect ourselfs not so much to shoot animals for entertainment. I wish the animal rights people would have a little bit broader understanding between the 2 mentalities hunters like myself have. Just my 2 cents.

If you let extremist organizations like PETA and their cohorts get their foot in the door, then they will stick their whole leg in, then eventually you have lost everything you cared about. This is similar to the "gun control" debate. You are either for it or against it. There is no middle ground.

They look like they are already lacking funds with that 5th grade level website.

I strongly urge anyone who intends to email them to be concise, factual, and yes, even respectful in their explanations of why hunting is in fact ethical and natural. Just emailing to rant and insult them,would be very counterproductive for us, and bring us to their childish level.
