I admit to wondering why hunting and fishing need to be Constitutional rights. Then I read the commentary from opponents. Barbaric. So is procreation, barbarians did that. Maybe we need to codify that right.

There have been many proposals to limit procreation. It is a core belief of progressivism that government knows best.
Eugenics was a progressive movement. It is in the background now, because the progressive see the advantage in lots of dependent voters.
Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day.
Deport him, and you don’t have to feed him again
From what I’ve seen most liberals/progressive detest anything that allows a man/woman to be independent from the government either partially or fully.
If you have shelter, food and heat, (ability to cook), then you can if you want to exist and possibly thrive away from the bureaucrats.
The bureaucrats will put your tail in jail if they catch you trying to exist without the bureaucrats.
I remind my passionate young environmentalist friends that "conservation" was in place quite a few decades before they were born. They'd be using the term themselves if it didn't contain "conserve", which is close to "conservative", which is a prohibited word on the hate-speech list.
If you stopped hunting deer you’d be up to your eyes in them pretty quick
frozen and fresh meat in the grocery store are O.k.....slaughter houses are just fine.....fish farms are more humane.....whatever
I nearly took up deer hunting in NY just to help reduce roadkill.
Wish I had; would have if I’d stayed.
This morning...
7yo boy: “We should stop killing animals.”
8yo girl: “But we need our protein!”
Who owns the animals?
The state?
Land owners?
All citizens?
Nobody?
I’ll stop fishing when they pry that fish from my dead hands
In the states I’m familiar with, which is only a couple, they belong to the state. Though the state would say they belong to the citizens of the state, collectively, described as the People of the State of =====. Regulated on behalf of the People by the State. Not necessarily a bad thing, imo.
Up to our eyes in them with hunting.
I’m not sure where the Left got the bad acid, but they all seem to have taken some of the wrong batch.
Unless John Glowa, the whiner in the story, is a vegetarian he pays others to do his killing and butchering for him.
This is the natural result of a citizenry that is far removed from the natural world and not properly educated about it.
Even after the obvious arguments for the right, there is the need for harvesting animals to assist in game management for healthier animals at sustainable numbers.
And if it’s not barbaric for a lion to kill a deer, it’s not barbaric for a man either. We are omnivores, predators (it’s science!) and just as natural to this planet as any lion.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
