Lowbagger LettersTrophy Hunting Not Okay Just read Howie's column about hunting. I agree with all of it except the part about trophy hunting. However, this might be an issue of definition instead of disagreement. I feel that people should not kill anything they don't eat, with a few very rare exceptions like direct self defense. "Trophy hunting" to me means killing animals for fun instead of for food, the latter being the only reason humans began hunting in the first place. If you don't oppose trophy hunting, do you support killing bears, wolves, and mountain lions? I think killing these animals is absolutely inexcusable, as they do not make good food. If we were to limit hunting to hunting for food, we could eliminate hunting of large predators, which I assume all good environmentalists oppose. I would
also add something
about guns, which I readily admit I hate (I don't like anything that
explodes
except for lightning and volcanoes). In order to reduce unnatural
noise
and the environmental destruction that comes from manufacturing gun
powder, and
from leaving lead shot and bullets laying around, why not
advocate
for a return to more natural hunting, such as bows and arrows? I
never
hear enviros talking about this, but guns are totally unnatural, and I
dislike
their unnatural noise just as much as that of motor vehicles. I
think the
animals who live where people hunt would whole heartedly agree with me. Offshore windmill huggers: go break wind on land Dear editor, Enough noise from these land-lubber offshore windmill huggers! Whether it be the Cape Windbags themselves or their choirs of well meaning but misinformed supporters fizzing and buzzing away on their various NGO manure piles, they collectively haven't the slightest interest in what these mega-leasings of our marine public lands to the air-heads mean for the wildlife ecology of the north Atlantic,and to those that exploit the wild residents of said ecology. As you probably know but don't care to think about, the Capesters plan to sublease the waters between their towers to the fish pen corporadoes and do a little seafloor mining while they're at it. Wreak a lotta havoc below the surface, but, out of sight, out of mind for these dingalings. Go muckle up your own ecosystems, you...you airbeathers! Put your mills on your hills if you want 'em so badly. I understand that the 24 square mile Not if I can help it. Earth's saltwater-breathing majority is taking hit after hit from big industry, with the uninformed acquiescence of land-based greenies. This is happening just as the efforts to banish the deadly bottom draggers that have laid waste wild Atlantis for the last three centuries are succeeding. Just as the water polluter swine are getting their come-uppance. Just as huge new marine wilderness areas are being considered. Put your wind farms on dry land and leave the sea to them as lives here. Go break wind in your own ecosystems! About RFK jr...

Timbo was an aspiring actor with a drug and alcohol problem as well

of his wealth to various causes, some of which are listed below; Australian Wildlife Conservation Tiger conservation units in Tsunami Relief Cheetah conservation Crocodile Conservation Elephant conservation The Irwin Foundation Yes Dr. Charles. It’s clear to see how wildlife on this planet will be much better of now without Steve Irwin around. David Voyzey Australia |
