Maybe author Sy Montgomery is right when she says that “birdwatchers often look down on falconry,” and maybe not. Harris’s are also, according to Cowan, smarter than other hawks; they hunt in packs and, for that reason, may welcome humans as hunting partners more so than other raptors. We serve them.”.

Birds have wings, right? I observed the Sungrebe as it methodically hunted along the boundary of this floating mass of vegetation until the sun rose high enough in the sky to drive it into the shade. At this point, it is customary to temper one’s expectations by examining the “Status and Distribution” section.

That's right, a herd of panicked elk were cornered in a cow pasture and a group of boneheads decided to "hunt" them. Even other hunters were disgusted: "How can you call that hunting?" That can't be called hunting. asked Bob Coombs, 70, of Mount Vernon.

I am not anti-hunting. The “Crow Down” is a “hunting contest” where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days. Obviously killing contests have nothing to do with traditional hunting, and “animal abuse” is normally used when describing domestic animals. This is baloney.

In issuing its condemnation of established cultural practices, the rights view is not antibusiness, not antifreedom of the individual, not antiscience, not antihuman. It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. Might does not make right; might does make law.
