This is a totally biased article that doesn't begin to address the realities of the situation at all. The entire US national park system was founded by and is funded by, hunting. Hunter contribute more to the preservation of habitats and wetlands then ANY other group COMBINED. They actually have a VESTED interest in seeing that species and habitats are preserved, and they are willing to put HUGE amounts of money into......far more than the other "enviromental" groups.

The hunting permits being discussed would range from $10,000 to $100,000 per animal, they would be VERY strictly controlled, and these fees are the ONLY hope that these non US reserves and habitats have to fund protection, and preservation programs. It is SO ironic that they same people who will think that this issue is SO cut and dried, can't seem to raise any of the money needed to keep these endangered species around. The fact is, is that the killing of 5 or 10 individual animals can fund the protection of all of the rest. The liberal "feel good" policies overseas have resulted in the decimation of populations and habitats.......but nobody wants to discuss that.
