Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 193865" data-attributes="member: 605">No one is arguing that shooting a hundred buffalo a day back in the 1880's was a good idea. Laws were passed that no one could shoot them in Yellowstone National Park and ranchers along the Musselshells River in Montana gave them sanctuary. Trades were made and people could own them. Buffalo are plentiful. That's conservation, that's The North American Wildlife Conservation Model.Over 100 years of success is being hijacked. The North American "Wildlife" Conservation has seven platforms in its manifesto. Each one gives a summary of the past and then try to blend in their elite vision for the future of the wildlife industry. Number two:Markets for Game are EliminatedCurrent Status, Threats, and Challenges.— Commercial trade for reptiles, amphibians, and fish is thriving (Nanjappa and Conrad 2011). In addition, some game species that we would expect to fall under the principles of the Model are actively traded. Deer (Odocoileus spp.), elk, ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), quail, chukar (Alectoris chukar), and more exotic wildlife species are commonly bought and sold (Freese and Trauger 2000). Related to wildlife markets are contests and tournaments common in rural areas of the country. Big buck contests, coyote hunts, crow (Corvus spp.) hunts, and numerous other commercial contests imply a market-based hunting situation. The sale of furbearers, seal (Phocidae) fur, antlers, reproduced antlers, and a variety of other wildlife parts needs to be considered in light of the principle that markets for wildlife are eliminated. A robust market for access to wildlife occurring across the U.S. and Canada exists in the form of leases, reserved permits, and shooting preserves. "that we would expect to fall under".....this is the reach I'm talking about. Are Pheasants on a game preserve private property or are they under the bailiwick of these wildlife industry guys who want to end game preserves period?However PG, you have avoided my question long enough: when are you most civilized elitists planning to shut down shooting preserves raising pen raised birds for sport? The second platform of the NAMWC manifesto commands you to do it. </blockquote>
