Ake,

The old argument? Does that mean that only a new argument would be valid? What is wrong with the old argument? Especially when it is correct and accurate?
There aren't enough park rangers in the country to manage the wild population of New York state let alone through out the country.
Are you against killing animals in general? No farms or farmers anymore that produce steaks and chops and roasts and legs and thighs and bacon and cutlets. This would make you a vegetarian which is fine with me. But don't wear leather shoes or belts, or use some cosmetics, or have your car painted with metal flecked paints. Or use some oil painting brushed. There a few medicinal components that come from animals like heart valves and burn treatments.
Or are you against shooting animals, period. If thats the case and you are anti-gun thats fine with me too. I can support an anti-gun stance.
But to call all people who hunt as having something wrong in their minds is a little unfair. Jimmy Carter has been an avid hunter and fisherman and of all the living presidents he is about the only one who has ever acted presidential or even christian like. My Dad was a great fisherman and hunter. And no one I know was more right in the head than he was.
