About Hunting
March 24, 2010 We decided to write this page because of continual confusion about this forum’s stand on hunting. This is not a pro-hunting blog, nor an anti-hunting blog. There is a good reason. Bad feeling between hunters and those don’t like hunting is probably the single biggest reason why there is not a widespread political movement to protect and enhance wildlife and wildlife habitat in the United States. Part of this split is philosophical, but part is deliberately stirred up by those who have other political and economic agendas. We would rather not have discussions about the wrongness or rightfulness of hunting, but they seem unavoidable. However, we will step in when they get personal or otherwise out of hand. More about this later.
