Gratuitous or not (and I suspect that those figures may not be totally accurate), I do not give a rat's ass who on this planet thinks he or she has a right to hunt creatures whose very existence is precarious. We do NOT have that right. That post by the guy rings of, "I can do whatever I want to this planet and fuck the consequences." Well, NO you CAN'T. Get civilized fer krissake. Stop ruining the world my kids have to live in.
