Hey, I have no problem with what this girl or her family is doing. I think you have mistaken me for an animal rights activist.

Maybe.

Gee you flip flop around on these subjects like a fish on the deck of a boat. In one thread youā€™re belittling (including using statistics, both fabricated and not) an Alaskan village that wants to defend itself from wolves that have killed a woman and in another youā€™re applauding someone whoā€™s killed a cougar that was stalking a human.

Can you blame me for being mistaken?[/quote]

Two different subjects. One is a family protecting their interests on their own property from a predator that has repeatedly caused concern, and the other is the stateā€™s response to an unprecedented incident in an effort to make a community ā€œfeel as safe as we can make them feelā€. In the article you provided, it is clear that state officials(and state approved hunters) would be spearheading the hunt for a period of ten days. Is ten days enough to solve the problem, or is it long enough for people to have their revenge and feel safe? I believe itā€™s the latter.

I didnā€™t belittle a mourning village. I expressed the opinion that the state was being heavy handed. Never let a crisis go to waste, right?

I canā€™t blame you for being mistaken as it appears you have an all or nothing attitude with no middle ground on these subjects.

Itā€™s a rural area. The land isnā€™t suitable for farming, and no large predatory animals to speak of.

Where in North America?

For some reason I place you in Canada.

I think Iā€™ve mentioned on here before that Iā€™m from Canada.

Donā€™t get me started on our gun laws.

I agree.

I hunt nude, covered in mud, with a sharpened toothbrush.
