Hunting, part one

Hunting. This is a topic that I have wanted to write about for a while. I go hunting. My dad goes hunting. Countless other people go hunting. But the ratio of hunters to animal activists is only 6:5. The AA say that hunting is horrible. Is it? No. I've done so much research on this before I got my hunting license, and no, it's really not bad. It's actually good for the animal population. I'm not joking. Think of what might happen if you have a five gallon bucket, but over fill it. Water spills out, and slowly hurts the bucket. Now think of this. There are 100 acres of open space, which can hold more or less 1000 elk. What happens when that population over flows? The grass will die due to grazing, trees will be stripped of leaves, water will be even more contaminated than it is now, with all the feces. Is that, I ask you, a good thing? No way in ___. The amount of natural predators has gone down due to lack of space, which in turn is due to us, building houses and such, and thus, with no natural preditors to hunt them, the elk will soon over populate and destroy the land they are on. With human hunters (well I guess you could be alien hunters too, but is that likely?) the elk population will be kept to a reasonable value, that, my dears, is why the hunting centers and smart valued peoples make regular laws: you can only hunt bucks, you can only hunt for two elk, etcetera. Without us contributing to the wild life, it would very soon be out of control. This, of course, applies to more than elk, duh, that was just an example. All in all, it is extremely good to have hunters. Not trophy hunters that's sick, but I'll get into that later ;).

Your awesome and wonderful wacko,
