You must have constant headaches. Your cognitive dissonance is astounding. You are against all government yet demand government regulation. Amazing.

Open your eyes and your brain and look around the world at the places which do not protect animals. Where this happens they no longer exist.

I want to be responsible and not leave our children debt; likewise, I want them to be able to see all of the animals we currently have on the planet.

Sad to see that this is not an idea shared by many here.

Easiest, most effective way to ensure the continuation of a species like that is to get the general public to think they are tasty.

As previously noted, we aren’t running out of cows, pigs, chickens, or turkeys...

Albino deer, moose and buffalo, squirrels, people have occurred in the past and will likely continue in the future.

There is a reason why North America has an abundance of animals. It is because of hunters. The taxes they pay, the permits that they buy and the associations they fund.

I don’t really think it is possible for one person to see all of the animals that we have on the planet. They wouldn’t live long enough to accomplish that task.

“Open your eyes and your brain and look around the world at the places which do not protect animals. Where this happens they no longer exist.”

You mean like the animals in Africa that are being dessimated? The thriving of wild animals has nothing to do with “protecting animals.” It has everything to do with private property. As long as private property is promoted, the owner has the MOST interest in the thriving of his property, to include the wild animals that he would like to hunt. He will manage that property to ensure a long term survivability of all things he would like to harvest from that property, to include the animals that pass through.

However, in the cases where animals are being devistated, it is due to the government owning the land. As a result, the local hunters/poachers, decimate those heards as fast as is possible because if they don’t “get it now,” then someone else will and then they will miss out.

The answer to your concerns is to get the government out of the land ownership business and promote more private ownership by hunt clubs or other organizations that will have a long term interest in that land.

Nonsense.

The places with the most regulations are the ones where the animals are disappearing the fastest.

So you are for letting animals breed at will, overpopulate, and die of starvation. This is the sure result of your efforts to “regulate” hunting, code for banning. Have you even bothered to look at deer that have overpopulated an area. They look like scarecrows and die by the thousands during the winter. Yet you believe that this is a better fate than population control through hunting.

You are also aware of course that the money used to manage these herds comes from the hunters you demonize and ridicule. When was the last time you spent hundreds of dollars per year to support the animals you want your children to be able to see? Or are you just willing to do it with other peoples money?
