First, I really do not know how it can be argued that we should do everything we can to not hurt wildlife, while at the same time espose hunting and fishing. Lest anyone forget, there are sports where the death of the animal that is targeted is, even if not desired as in C & R, inevitable. Here's an example from one of the posts(bold is my emphasis):
"However, it seems to me that even the possibility of harming either resource through our actions should be eliminated. It is not like there is no easy alternative action we "common folks" can do to eliminate even the possibility of damaging ducks, geese, swans, pelicans, etc.. One such simple actions is to use a lead free substitute while fishing/hunting."
Gee, not only do you want to eliminate the possibility, you want to eliminate EVEN the possibility. If you really want to eliminate that possibility, just stop all hunting and fishing and go join PETA! What a bunch of ______!
Second, Byron wrote, "Someone has mentioned, in another post, the loss of fowl to wind turbines." Now that's funny.
