Ban all hunting? (ethics, speech, election, elect)

[BentBow]

The president's propaganda guy Cass Sunstein, is very out of touch with rural America!
Damn City Slickers!

That is how I feed my family. He wants me to have to work, and buy steroid meat.



"We ought to ban hunting"
- Cass Sunstein, in a 2007 speech at Harvard University

He like animals; he thinks they have rights.

Smear: Cass Sunstein Is Going To Ban Hunting | Media Matters Action Network

A hypothetical statement, in a research paper on the ethics of animal treatment.

I disagree with it, but it'll never happen. He isn't putting a policy forward, but this is his view. Its a fringe view, that'll never make law.

A person with no respect for people's rights does not belong in his position.

Oh I think it will still be all right to hunt down conservatives, there useless anyhow.

Hunting is necessary for the population control of many species, not to mention there are those who need to hunt for sustenance.
Sportsman are also some of the best stewards of the environment.

As much as I'd like to dismiss Sunstien as another left wing kook, the fact that he has a place in this administration tells me someone of importance values his opinion.
He is a dangerous individual and his way off center opinions should not be discounted.

I'm not a great fan of hunting, but I can understand hunting to provide food. I am definitely not a supporter of big game trophy hunting (or fishing) for competition and one's ego massage. I think the argument that hunting is needed for population control is a weak one, as natural selection and survival of the fittest is the best means of achieving that.

Cass can't bring about a ban on hunting. Palin would marshall all the hunters against it in one huge groundswell of opposition! You betcha, she would.

He can't ban hunting, but he can use his role in regulation making to advance his agenda here and there.

Then he's the right guy for that position.
