]]> Comment on To Fish or to Kill Wolves? That is the Question. by Tony Bynum http://blog.pacificwild.org/2012/12/17/to-fish-or-to-kill-wolves-that-is-the-question/#comment-1441 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:35:03 +0000 http://blog.pacificwild.org/?p=449#comment-1441 We are talking about managing our resources, not our minds or our personal values. Or are we? Why is that that people who want to boycott hunters are the one’s who have to get inside our heads and tell us morally what’s right and what’s wrong? The truth is a dead fish is a dead fish, they dont really care why they died, there’re dead. Now, it’s also true that in resource management, getting caught up in the emotions and trying to manage wildlife with our personal values most often leads us toward unwise choices. I think people should stay out of each other’s heads, what difference does it make if i kill a fish, a deer or a wolf for food or if i kill it for a trophy? Why should we manage wildlife by what’s in side one’s head? R u the morality police? If so, this is not about managing our resources, it’s about telling other people what and why to think. That’s okay too, but dont hind behind you throne, just come out and say it, you dont like people who kill unless they kill for the right reasons, and even then you’re going to be skeptical . . .

We recently got the DVD of Spirit Bear when bringing our sailboat up the inside passage in August 2012, at Shearwater.
The awareness level for Southeast Alaska residents as to this issue needs to raised. I have done quite of bit to get this information to key people in the Native communities and other community people, here in Southern Southeast Alaska, as this affects all who live in this incrediable coastal community.
We also have Haida here that settled many years ago from Haida Gwaii. One of the elders who is very knowledgable of these waters spoke of the Celestial Reef off Haida Gwaii that in years past also had a large oil spill by a ship. There is no question Oil Tankers do not belong in these precious waters period.
