    This is not surprising at all to me given what has been happening since this guy got appointed to Secretary of the Interior.  But what in the world is going through his mind?  That is such pathetic logic that he uses as reasoning.  In what way does allowing people to hunt improve the environmental conditions?!?!?!?
    This is what he replaces the Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council with!!  The article starts off saying continuing his unyielding support for hunting, fishing, and the American conservation ethic..., how has he supported the latter?  If it is any wonder so many government people are resigning and not trying to implement helpful policies.

    All in favor of leaving the Earth before humans kill it, or just dying now so that we do not have to see any worse happen.  Say Aye.



    Aye!!!!

    But seriously.  I am not sure who to be more frustrated at; Zinke, Perry, or Pruitt.

    Did you not read the article?
    "Through the purchase of duck stamps, bows, ammo, firearms, and more, sportsmen and women contribute billions of dollars to conservation. From my perspective, the more sportsmen we have in the woods and waters, the better our wildlife and habitat will be."
    Allowing people to hunt directly contributes BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to conservation. This is to be taken as fact since Sec. Zinke says so. So go out and buy more guns and ammo!

    By implementing policies that allow more hunters to, well, hunt more, he is then bringing more BILLIONS OF DOLLARS directly to conservation. Trust me.

    All joking aside, I believe the intent of the Council is that because hunters and fishers know and care about conservation since they're out in the wild a lot (which is actually most likely true), implementing policies that align with their ideals will be good for the environment. Of course Zinke is the kind of guy who only cares about the $$$, so he tries to make it out to seem like hunting and fishing directly generates a lot of money for conservation, which it just doesn't. It generates a lot of money for the gun industry and firearm lobby groups (like the NRA), who then give it to certain members of Congress (usually Republicans). You also gotta appeal to the tens of millions of potential voters who hunt and fish and make it seem like you're on their side. But there is definitely a link between hunters and fishers and conservation -- sadly, Zinke seems to be doing what he can to corrupt it for personal gain.

  • In South Africa, big game hunting actually does contribute to the conservation of the species, but we don't have such a rampant problem with guns. Or, well, we do, but it's not the same as the US. You can't walk into a shop and just get yourself a gun. You need to undergo rigorous training to get a license for anything larger than a hunting rifle mostly used to kill birds.
