Take for example, the hanging elephant. It's not exactly awesome that it went down like that, but that doesn't mean it should never be published or spoken of!! It gets really old listening to the Left Wingers pontificate about all the world's woes as if they were out there fighting the good fight themselves. If you don't like it, don't do it - that doesn't mean someone else shouldn't or can't.

If this guy wants to get his jollies fishing for sharks why not get a bigger boat and release the fish after the catch. Remember, don't catch your limit, limit your catch.

For all you bunnyhuggers out there who think fishing and hunting is inhumane, then tell someone who cares please. I agree with Livtoday2, He has a point. Are you gonna stop commercial truck drivers because they kill deer or something? The only people that you can really complain about are poachers, gillnet fishermen or people that just kill for the sake of killing and leave the carcasses lying around. Wow! Jeepers!

Hunters and fisherman pay a fee that supports wildlife and helps keep species from becoming extinct by management. Go hug a tree and maybe a grizzly will eat your AZZ for food.

Fishing, even a shark...if it's for food or survival, ok. As long as the kind of shark you catch is not an endangered or threatened species. The way you catch them...doubtful. I can only imagine how much you have to exhaust end hurt these animals before they actually die. Not ok. I'm not vegetarian, I eat meat and birds. But I try to be aware of how the animals are killed. No foie gras for me out of principle. Fish, I don't eat but because of allergy reasons. What I do NOT agree with in any way is killing for fun or sports! Hunting for survival and food, ok.

Once upon a time, everything was plentiful...now there are vast areas of the sea where the dominant predators are jellyfish. The pro-hunt and the anti-hunt both seem to miss the important: one cannot destroy an ecology, one can only change it. If your idea of a thriving marine ecosystem is one where there are only jellyfish well then, carry on hunting the other large predators. Remember that the cod fishery off Newfoundland has completely collapsed and people used to drop buckets overboard and bring them up full of fish.
