Huckabee: Hunting preserves species, actually keeps wildlife alive

Ah... The good 'ole days. When life really was like a Frank Frazetta painting.

Limited hunting can help a certain population. We, humans, have eliminated large numbers of predators, which are an important evolutionary tool for the prey species. The problem is when he makes an absurd blanket statement like he did.

Good point .... which population ... and what statement is being referenced?

That would be Huckabee's statement in the OP article. The one you said you didn't care about....

Nice non-answer ...

Which specific article statement is being referenced? It would be nice to understand the comment being made.

Well... read the article, figure it out for yourself. It's not hard.

Oh .. this "blanket statement?

"Maybe it will show that I certainly understand the culture of being outdoors,'' Huckabee said.

"The truth is hunters are the ones who preserve the species,'' he said, since hunters have an interest in preserving wildlife and their license fees pay for conservation efforts. ``In many cases extinction comes from not having some level of hunting. It's the hunters who actually keep the wildlife alive. A lot of people think that when you hunt you're destroying the wildlife."

Hey, full circle, back to the Bison, hurrah!

Or the "wussification of modern man", talk-radio stuff.

Because in the good old days, a man's man really could break a bull's (or a bison's) neck by twisting its head with his bare hands.

Its not talk radio stuff Six,look in the dam mirror. You are the poster child of the wussification project. I will bet when your sippin tea your pinky instinctively points north. However the clear nail polish is a little over the top.

From your point of view I'm sure. But I'll remain content with the simple truth that outside of what you draw from random forum postings and otherwise conjure up in your deranged brain, you know little about me at all.

How about you look in the mirror Marc - I can see you now strutting around in your pink tutu. Ridiculous? Sure. And meaningless. Like your mischaracterisation of me.

And yes - "Wussification" is, I believe something out of Michael Savage's repertoire of crude stand-up material.
