You know, only a total retard on the degree of a CNN reporter, or maybe a college professor could think that somehow hunters have a deleterious effect on the environment.
Here in Philadelphia, Fairmount Park (largest urban park in the U.S.) is less than a generation away from total destruction due to the over grazing of deer destroying successive generations of new growth. Yet, everytime the Fairmount Park Commission wants to cull the herd, morons show up to protest with well thought out slogans like "Don't kill Bambi". If it were up to me, I'd pay for a picket line of hunters to sweep through the park again and again dropping ever thing in their sight where it stood... protestors included.

Several years ago we did a day trip to Valley Forge (Federal park, no hunting). There were deer everywhere, in the middle of the day! There wasn't a one as big as a decent German Sherherd dog. Sad.
