re: #208 theheat

There may be different hunting cultures, and I was happy enough to blunder into a very ecologically minded one, but the guys that I met were staunch conservationists, including supporting the reintroduction of wolves— and no, not just so they could shoot them.

A hunter vs. a farmer/rancher— the hunter is going to be by far the more conservationist.

I don’t think that people depending on the mechanized agriculture of the US really have a moral leg-up on hunters. Considering the number of animals that die just to make an acre of wheat, I mean.
