I agree. There's an honor in hunting.
Slaughterhouses are a pretty ugly industrial nightmare. I don`t know if I`d want a tour, let alone sentance children to it.

I am all for the passing of heritage and culture from one generation to the next but who will show the next generation how to start their skidoos and change the channel on their satellite dishes in the Far North?
These are truly hard times we face.......

I only hope that there are enough seals in the future to hunt so that they can actually pass along that knowledge in the future.

What's that, Mr. Caribou? We're destroying your habitat?
Well that's just crazy talk!!

Dont worry there's billions of Caribou up there and they mostly kill themselves off when migrateing and come to any river.Humans save thousands of them each year on the Thelon by volunteering many hours putting up snow fence and basically herding them to a safe place to ford the river,were talking millions of Caribou here(Dorothy herd,Beverly herd)

and considering up there you can fly for 5 hours without seeing any single sign of humans just shows how big this country is,some folks should get out and see it from something other then David Suzuki on t.v.

BILLIONS....YES, BILLIONS of caribou on the rise in the Far North.

People are too out of touch with where are food comes from. This and the media always engaging in anthropomorphization, gives children an unrealistic view of the world and our place in it.

vegetarians = food

I'm surprised that you spell 'anthropomorphization' correctly and yet, you use the word 'are' to say 'our'......IT'S LIKE BIZARRO WORLD........but up NORTH!!!!

He was an actor,good for you.

Should have watched wild kingdom instead.

Long before millions of Americans knew Lorne Greene on the popular western series Bonanza, he was known to Canadians as "The Voice of Doom," an epithet he acquired as the chief radio announcer for CBC radio from 1939 to 1942, the height of Canada's darkest days of World War II.

I've plugged a couple of feral cats and I've plugged a few dogs for my farm friends, but I've never gone hunting. I've seen lots of wildlife through my scope, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger mostly for the fact that after I hike back to my car I can be in front of a nice dinner in two shakes or less.

Would I shoot a bear or coyote if I had to? Yes, of course.

But only if I had to.

At the same time, I absolutely respect hunters if only for the fact that hunters were the world's environmentalists and preservationists long before the 1960's hippie freaks came along. They still are the real deal when it comes to protecting the environment. The fools who would ban hunting perversely end up requiring game wardens to go cull herds and populations at taxpayer expense whenever they succeed in their ill-conceived bans. The animals are still hunted, but the enviros are just happy with themselves that no one is enjoying themselves while hunting.

[TattoodGirl]

I am a hunter and an environmentalist at the same time. I have hunted and fished all my life and my kids now do as well, it is part of our heritage and the only meat my kids eat. All parts of the animal are used, if we cant use it someone can and does. We would never hunt for sport, we have to much respect for the animals and of nature. I want to see the natural habitats of the animals to be protected as much as they can, so generations of children can enjoy it...just as we do.

I have been called a tree hugger plenty of times...but i own rifles

I don't hunt, never have and never will but I recognize the need for those that do. Because let's face it, deer kill more people in North America than any other creature (Car accidents and actual attacks). Sure, they are millions behind the malaria and disease infested mosquito but don't think for a second that Bambi wouldn't kill you and your family in a heartbeat if it thought it could bathe in the rich crimson blood of a slaughtered human.

Look into those dead vacant eyes and you'll see that I speak truth.

White-tailed psycho son of a bitch!!
