Wants to shut down all hunting in the U.S. "You may have seen the news that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), along with other anti-hunting groups and individuals, filed a petition with the Interior Department demanding rules against hunting with traditional ammunition on public lands – one-fifth of the total land area in the U.S." " 'We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States. We will take it species by species until all hunting is stopped in California. Then we will take it state by state.' (Full Cry Magazine, 1 October 1990)." Full story here.

October 1990? 24 years ago...

I read your header and the story that you quoted. If there is a more up to date story, it may have been a bit more honest to put that, instead of a bit of 24 year old sensationalism.

You don't have to spell anything out for me at all. Your OP stated "The Humane Society of the US... Wants to shut down all hunting in the US". You then posted a 24th year old statement with a link to its source which basically said little more. Be honest, it was just a little bit of sensationalism, nothing more, nothing less.

I suppose my definition of "little more" is different from yours, then.
What do you know, if anything, about the hunting-with-dogs laws, in England? I read someplace that hunting with dogs in a manner of letting the dogs catch the rabbit and tear it up was prohibited. Seems like that sort of hunting is rather barbaric IMHO.

You may look at it that way, but that's not the way I look at it. 24 years ago the HSUS did not petition the gov't to prohibit hunting. The petition is a much more recent event. Besides, what's your interest in this anyway? Are you a hunter, and if so, have you hunted within the last 24 years?

Have you stood for president lately, if not, will you cease all political comment on Obama and Co.?
