They would have to do this so that the hunters - a well regulated and
licensed group of people who are working de facto for the Fish and Game
Department can thin out the deer population so that they do not starve to
death in the winter. I understand that everyone in the media from Disney to
Warner Brothers have tried to villainize and degrade hunters and hunting and
have succeeded to the point where they are looked down upon by almost the
entire general population. I'd sooner see a living Bambi wander through he
forest calling out "Mother?" than watch her die slowly and painfully beside
her mother in the snow and cold of starvation. Hunters prevent this. Human
beings ARE a part of the natural food chain. Hunters are a necessary part of
the balance of nature. Can't say the same for hikers, cyclists and
equestrians. Does that help you understand why?
