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.
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.
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
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?
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.
“She also insisted that “hunting and trapping and fishing are not fundamental rights.””
Definitely true on the King’s Land.
I find it disturbing that it is described as a “privelage”. The state of Virginia describes driving in the same way, that is why they can deprive you of that “privelage” without due process. Pennsylvania, on the other hand is a right to drive state.
Thank-you for posting.
I live in Maine, and this is the first I’ve heard of this.
Hunting and fishing is a way of life in this outdoors-oriented state, and has been for centuries.
Most of Maine is strong Second Amendment country, too.
Maine apportions it’s electoral college votes, and 80% of Maine.....the 2nd congressional district.....went for Trump in November.
So, they want to ban conservation easements?
Typical of irresponsible animal
right activists who never managed land and wildlife nor gave away their peoperties to nature to come moralize those who carry the burden of responsibility.
Many hunters out there carry the Conservation Easement like
a cross to satisfy the strigent compliance
requirements in keeping those lands healthy and safe, but the evil heathens will always mock
and spit at those carrying crosses.
It is their ultimate goal to
demoralize.
I also have a genetic particularity making it impossible for
me to eat protein rich vegetarian foods like
legumes, so I MUST eat meat. But these nut cases insist that science is on their side, that meat is not natural for humans
I hate to fish. A bad day at work is better than a good day fishing!
