If they aren't and still have the numbers to where it doesn't make a difference in the survival of the species, then yes, I definitely care more about MJ than the wolves.; ▶ Reply to This

Since when are we God?
Things should die of their own accord and not when we feel like killing them...unless we want to eat them - in that case it's pretty much natural harmony.; ▶ Reply to This

just had a convrsation about the fact that most drivers don't see pedestrians as having any rights.
that is basically how we operate.

and we never back of and give space unless forced.; ▶ Reply to This

If you don't live in an area with predators that are known to kill people, you don't understand the fear that can be in the people. If you don't understand that, then you're not going to be able to convince them that it's wrong to do so, especially if it is legal to do so.

Not everyone thinks that hunting is wrong and just because you do doesn't mean that they're going to stop.

As Charles Baker said, if they're not hunting from helicopters, they'll be hunting them on snowmobiles. If they're not hunting them on snow mobiles, they'll be hunting them on foot. Your compassion for animals is all fine and good, but not everyone has that, and some people find hunting as more of getting back in nature by turning it into a hunt or hunted situation.; ▶ Reply to This

is this about fear and danger or about the joys of hunting?

Permalink Reply by Matt on July 6, 2009 at 12:57pm: It's about how no matter what you try and do, you're not going to stop these people from hunting that animal until it becomes endangered.

Why should they be forced to stop?
