Terry I like you a lot but this is crazy to imply that bears are threat to our safety? This is some nutty stephen colbert type stuff:
If there are problem bears then cull them, but culling problem bears is much different then killing for sport and pleasure. We should kill them if we HAVE to not because we WANT to. Its funny when anybody challenges the grizzly hunter logic them come back with scare tactics and political statements - yet not one address the actual ethics of killing large intelligent animals.
No sh*te, I included a link in my post to a spot in Africa where you can kill Elephants, Cheetah, Lions and even brought in tigers. I KNOW you can kill elephants and I KNOW its legal, being legal doesn't make it ethical. In Uganda they passed a law to give homosexuals the death penalty, its legal so it must be right - get what I'm saying?
Now your comparing something real to something emotional....again PS....your thinking with your emotions. When people talk about large intelligent animals, they are using emotional words. large, intelligent are not science based......
Do you look at moose the same way?? They are large intelligent animals?? same as elk?? Where do you draw the line whe you use emotional words?? What animal is OK to shoot for "Trophy Hunters"??? Deer, sheep, goats??? They are small and dumb to some people??
