I resent the fact that too many organizations professing pro-wildlife/conservation positions are “buddied up” to people/entities like this whose objectives aren’t conservation, it’s selective preservation for the purpose of continued blood sports and that’s saying it like it is, ladies and gentlemen.  Why pander to these groups?  We’re sending the WRONG message to the public and it’s time for our species to face the consequences of our collective actions and stop coddling the irresponsible and selfish among us or else we will have damaged the Earth irreparably with our profit and consumption driven lives.
