jbgood: There is a good bit of strange psychology involved in the "thinking" of these people.
1. They don't really like people; they don't really like themselves.
2. Because of the above, they've seized upon the idea that somehow, modern homo sap is not part of nature. We are all enemies of "nature", by definition. (Hey, I didn't say I thought they were truly sane!)
3. By and large, they are Statist in their political views. Thus is is okay for "professional hunters" from the government to shoot Bambi (soemtimes) so long as "sport hunters" are not allowed to derive enjoyment from hunting. The primary point is the dis-allowing of "fun".
Always remember that these people are driven by their feelings and not by the logic which derives from facts. It is a faith-based picture of the world, and facts are irrelevant.
But they are just as sincere as all get-out, and as serious as a heart attack that shooters and hunters are Bad People; again, by definition. Forget trying to explain any reality to these people. The only hope is to out-vote them.
