Welll... getting back to nature includes hunting and killing rattlesnakes that get too close to the house. Or did they mean "get back to nature" from their comfortable, liberal, cosmopolitan, city apartments and Whole Foods stores? We've got rattlers in Tiverton, RI. Once they show up in Bristol, it's time to start hunting. I'm not a hunter, and in many cases I'm not against it. It is how, in some form, I get my food. Sure, torture tracts that raise animals for killing aren't exactly the most humane thing in the world, but the PRO-LIFE debate that melds pro-life in a human case (where I side with the pro-choicers) and free-range, licenced hunting is an incomparable situation. Sure, we could eat nuts and seeds and small vegetables and survive, but in some cases animals do EAT humans. Are we supposed to oppose hunting because we perceive to have a 'higher conscious' paired with more 'moral and ethical responsibility?' I'm sorry, but our ideas of mores and ethics are FABRICATED BY HUMAN MINDS, and therefore, as cruel as it sounds, are the rights of any species we can dominate, or the idea of natural 'rights' in general. I'm not for ruthless killing, but if I want venison sausage for breakfast, then I'm ok with it, as long as it follows the guidelines. If people notice, hunting is not a rampant activity, there are time tables set to, as Hoser pointed out, preserve species which in turn also protects their habitats.
