Readers Are Still Hunting for Solution
I couldn’t help being amused, although saddened, by the responses to Rich Roberts’ story on the probable effects on wildlife if hunting were banned in California.
That some people would carry a love of animals to the point where they suggest human beings shoot each other is amazing. But what really gets me is these people think they are innocent. They sit in their homes in the San Fernando Valley and pet their dogs and believe that the whole world operates with the same supermarket reality.
Meat and fish grow on trees in Styrofoam packets, and paper products come from a warehouse in downtown L.A. Wake up! You people are the problem. Every action you take, whether it is investing in a condominium or buying a roll of toilet paper, has life-or-death consequences. The fact of your existence will mean the death of innumerable living creatures over the course of your lifetime.
At least hunters take responsibility for their actions and are willing to put up money to preserve the natural environment.
