your right, apples and oranges....we as a race have wiped out entire species in the name of expansion, greed, money....have you seen a factory ship in action, killing thousands of other fish and throwing them back into the ocean because they don't pay as well, how is that sustainable, morally right, good use of our wild resources.........The Canadian Cod fish industry was once explained as this the fish were so thick they actually stopped the boat from moving....today because of over fishing, we have a dead fishery ...not because we are starving or need to put something on our plates....because we as humans are looking for the next buck....the more we fish we kill the more bucks we make....There are many industries built around this , the wholesale killing of wildlife, for nothing more than dollars.....and we like smoked salmon, cod fillets, shark fin, turtle soup, bear gallbladders to give us erections ....there are thousands of examples of us being just as wasteful as a trophy hunter..who i might add also puts food on the table by paying for guides, and staff....maybe we should start looking at all these practices so my kids will atleast get to see  deer in the wild or maybe catch a salmon in the river...I just don't get it, with all this killing going on, and we get up set at a couple of people hunting for the thrill and a trophy....we should be pissed off about all of it....not one tiny sector of it...

Apples and oranges...yet again. The thread is about trophy hunting I might remind you. Inefficiencies in various food production is something else which of course needs to be, and has in many cases been dealt with. The trophy hunters are a shitload more than a couple of people as you try to put it my friend. The people who like to cut the horns off rhino's to get a hard on have damn near wiped out the population. Fishing for food is a whole 'nuther idea. Stop trying to conflate.

I know what the topic is about, it's about you making excuses on one hand your disgusted about a FEW hunters, a few Hundred hunters or a few thousand hunters, who the **** cares....those numbers do not or will not compare to the damage done to our wild life resources by man greed , whether he is over using the resource for greed...or pumping their environment full of pollutants, or cutting it down for in most cases nothing more than greed.......and on the other hand your saying it's ok as long as in pursuit of food....or it has been dealt with....ya right....if you say so....

And if you think that all these problems with our declining numbers of wild life, that's in all categories be it fish, fur bearing animals , whales, birds and you can point your finger to these small group of hunters and say they and they alone are responsible for the misuse of our natural wild life resources....well sir i am calling bullshit......If you want to blame something blame OUR greed....and until we change that , those resources will be driven into the ground....much like what is happening in a lot of New Brunswick where deer are scarce , or salmon in the miramichi river are down by over 75 %, what about polar bears up north, whales in the st lawrence, i know **** trophy hunters.....get a grip............Thats all got to do with greed and mismanagement....not trophy hunters...The problem is we don't care because it does not effect our daily lives....and yet some how.... a few guys out trophy hunting disgusts us.....maybe you should follow a factory ship when it brings ups its nets, and starts sorting fish....or ask a fishermen what happens to all the other species of fish the catch when dragging..., that does not pay well....

Once again you try to drag in a whole host of issues that are not at all applicable to the thread. If you want to discuss resource exploitation, air pollution, or over cutting the forest, fill yer boots and start a thread about it.

It is the whole host of problems that is the problem, again something you can't see , because you have your  liberal glasses on , the rosey ones.......you want something to talk about at the supper table, with guests...and if it's not about cons then it's those damn pesky trophy hunters that are killing everything........when in fact trophy hunters kills represent maybe about 1 % of the total decline, but lets not talk about that because it has nothing to do with the topic....

I wonder what percentage of the people who run around the woods killing things to get their jollies, then tack the head to their walls, are cons.

I think liberals should start demanding banning all guns, just to improve their starting bargaining position.

Hunting and "trophy" hunting. Two very different things.
