A few points. No one likes to see animals harassed. I think we are all in total agreement on that point. The guy on the jet ski is a dope. However, if your house is infested with mice or rats do you say "oh, well they are native to the area, I am going to let them be"? Of course not! But when it comes to deer and geese that are responsible for many diseases and destruction when herds and flocks go unchecked, folks are against actions being taken to reduce populations to healthy levels. Yet, these same people eat beef, fish, etc. and think nothing of it. It seems if the animals they consume are killed in distance places and bought through supermarkets it is all fine.
