I don’t know what you think about it, but I personally hate hunting. I can’t even kill a bug or an anole and will try and catch them in a cup and let them free if one should get into my apartment from time to time. The idea of killing an animal for thrill is nauseating. Hunters always give you the argument that you buy it from the store and eat it don’t you? When I think of hunting I think of those baby seals getting slaughtered.
The Feds want to manage about 146,000 acres off of Alligator Alley that were added to the Big Cypress Reserve and going through that they will establish 85,000 acres of wilderness by putting trails through sensitive wetlands.
The Federal proposal would allow hunters to access the habitat of our
Can’t hunters get a thrill in some other way? Shouldn’t we be protecting our animals and wildlife that are near extinction due to man's greed in taking over their environment instead of sanctioning blood lust? Let these hunters get their thrill watching football or something--or just read a local talk board--both of which are ruthless and merciless.
If it’s not the developers killing our wildlife, it’s the hunters.

There has been an increase of women taking up firearms. It started with the thought of protection as there are more and more home invasions, etc. today than ever before. Women make up about 15% of those bearing arms and a percentage within that who are actually hunters. So, I maintain, that it is MEN who are the blood thirsty ones. So to assume that I hate men is totally ridiculous. So get over it and let's put the blame back where it belongs. Start looking at your feminine side for a change.
Beginning in the late 1800s, hunters and anglers such as Teddy Roosevelt realized they needed to set limits in order to protect rapidly disappearing wildlife, and assume responsibility for managing wild country. They pushed for hunting regulations and established conservation groups to protect habitat. This was the beginning of the conservation movement as we know it today.
Hunters have worked closely with local and federal governments to enact legislation to protect wildlife habitats.
Hunting license fees and special taxes on hunting equipment fund state game and non-game management programs.
While I do not hunt myself and am equally concerned about opening this part of Florida up to hunting, I am also aware of and applaud the conservation efforts by groups such as Ducks Unlimited and Safari Club International.
I recognize these are just your thoughts on the matter, however I feel that you paint with too broad a brush when you label hunters as you did in this post.
