.I was a bit horrified that sport fishing includes catching and throwing the fish back into water. Really? The fish is already hurt..and probably won't survive well thereafter.
An astute fisherman knows how to catch and release properly. You use a barbless hook, that is easily removed and then there a technique to place them back into the water with a minimum of shock. True sportsmen/women don't waste animals. Some people might be surprised to know how much conservation work and habitat/ecosystem work is done by hunters.
Sure there are unsportsmanlike like sportsmen/women out there - every subset of humanity has the good and bad guys. I wonder how many of you "oh don't kill the poor things" people actually know hunters who feed their families with the game they kill? Or know hunters than contribute time and money to conservation and habitat protection? Have ever seen how much work it is to hunt? Seen a bow hunter in action (amazing patience and skill - this is a real art) In the case of the mukluks, most native peoples have a hunting tradition that goes back thousands of years. Are you going to deny them their heritage? In the meantime, feral deer are overrunning my neighborhood. They are starving due to overpopulation.They get hit by cars all the time, eat everything in the front yard, obstruct traffic by standing in the road - and I live in the city. I only wish my bow hunting neighbor could take a few of them out.
