My husband and I have hunted for years, and have constantly had to defend ourselves to our friends and family. Happily, once we have corrected their misconceptions about hunting they've been very accepting, and some have even taken it up themselves. I have always believed and maintained that conservation and responsible, sustainable use of resources is born out of understanding, and the best way to understand is to participate. It's no accident that Teddy Roosevelt was a hunter and conservationist. Nobody understands the complex relationship between habitat, climate and animal populations better than someone who hunts the same piece of land year after year. The removal of the majority of our population from any connection to the source of its food - both vegetable and animal - is, I believe, largely responsible for the mess we now find ourselves in. Hunting is my way of re-establishing that connection in my own life. That was a fascinating article - thanks!
