I's the same old NIMBY scenario.
They're all for saving the "animal du 'jour", but if you try to restrict their activity, the read you the riot act.
My best analogy is the "harvesting" of deer to manage herds.
The animal rights activist want the hunting to stop, but when the animals begin invading our neighborhoods becasue their food supply is gone, when we see and hear about animal / human cotact with disasterous results, when we see and hear the results of entire herds starving and malnourished, where are the same people to lend their support?
They're nowhere to be found, because they have found some other "cause of the day".
Most "true" hunters and fishermen are concerned about the plights of animals, we just don't turn into a$$holes about them.
As it's been stated before, the wildlife in the surrounding areas is doing more damage than the humans have. We are limited by the seasons, nature isn't.
