Quote by: Matt I agree, to a certain point, like for exmple, it is subjective to say a dog is better then a cat. But really, lets get out of the debate for one moment, what is more important to you, your house, or a few tulips? It is not subjective to say a house is worth more, it is common sense.

I’m not arguing about whether one thing is more important than the other; I’m arguing about your view of one form of selfishness as reasonable and one as unreasonable. That is a subjective claim.

Quote by: Matt Wrong, you want to know why alot of hunters illegally kill wolves? It is because they are afraid of 'competition' and the wolves eating all the deer. Therefore, if they can't hunt, they wont be worried about competition.

But if they’re the sort of people who would illegally kill wolves in the first place, anti-hunting laws wouldn’t apply to them.

Quote by: Matt I said a few things in that paragraph. Could you tell me what part you want me to prove?

That it would be not uncommon for deer, even when they had no need to do so, to come onto our land.

Quote by: Matt problem C is hard to fix. Maybe the Gov. should give enough money so they can either build higher fences or eletrical fences.

I assume by “the Gov.”, you mean me, the taxpayer.

Quote by: Matt Semantics again. Hunting=not needed and shopping for food=needed. Most places you can buy food, you can buy alot of other stuff too.

Most people indulge in leisure activities, of which hunting is one. Four hours of hunting is the same as four hours of any other leisure activity, only you save the time (and the money) it would take to buy other protein sources from the shops.

Quote by: Matt Past evidence has shown hunting is dropping, and if nothing changes, it will continue to drop most likely. No past evidence has shown a cougar or wolf disease devastation, so ther is no reason to think it will happen.

Past evidence has not shown that hunting will continue to drop or that it will not rise if the correct measures are taken. Past evidence has also not shown that cougars and wolves will not be wiped out by some disease; only that they haven’t so far been.

Quote by: Matt It has worked for thousands of years, that is my evidence

That’s only proof that it can work; not that it will in the future. Hunting can work; we just don’t know if it will.

Quote by: Matt Ok, so I take it you have no proof your method will work and you don't have any evidence re-introduced predators will work with hunters. That is basically your whole arguement, and you have no proof behind it.

I have as much proof of my method as you do of yours. And remember I’m not the one who wants to start throwing people in jail, so it’s not me who is in most urgent need of evidence here.
