Every little thing is interconnected and drastically reducing numbers of apex predators, like grey and timber wolves, can do quite a lot more harm than it can ever do good. Call me crazy, but I think keeping the ecosystem in balance is jut as important as health care.

Now this I can get on board with. I do not support hunting just for a pelt if you aren't going to use the meat. I don't know many REAL hunters that do either. But I know there are a lot of buttheads out there that do this. That is not something I will ever agree with.

Ted Nugent was on the Glenn Beck show last night and they were talking about hunting. He was saying that everything he harvests during his hunts he donates to homeless shelters. Every ounce of meat goes to feed starving families. I love that idea. There are a lot of hunters that do the same thing and I think it's wonderful to "spread the wealth" so to speak.

But I don't support hunting strictly for fur or antlers. If you hunt it... EAT IT.
