Quote:1.Really care to give an example (then watch me refute it)Ill let you let wonder lead you to knowledge on this one. Maybe check a few of your own links? I'm not sure why you think you could refute a site demonstration in the first place. That's not how that works. They exist. We could suggest that they won't work here or there or for this species or that species for any number of reasons, but denying that deer are managed on hunting land in such a way as to promote their health and the biodiversity of the managed land is a fools errand. It's what we're doing, we'd like to do it even better.
Quote:Hunters want game they don't care how they get itWell, that's obviously not going to work - so those hunters either have to be educated or they're not going to get what they want any way. Big pops of healthy animals in stable forests don't just happen. It takes alot of time and money and effort.
Quote:Animal activists want more and healthier animals but don't believe hunting is a good solution to the problemTheir alternative, planning to have no solution and calling whatever happens Natural. That is not a credible alternative, even if hunting is a bad solution.
An analogy, starting an open fire in your living room would be a bad solution to the problem of freezing to death - but it will keep you warm long enough to come up with a better one. We may find a better way to fund and manage our conservation lands some day. If we reconsider the problem as the problem of conservations dependence on funds from hunting - it's a simple issue of figuring out who else might voluntarily cough up all that dough and labor.
Whos got them deep, deep pockets and nothing better to do with their time?
