[Vision2020] Just wanting to vent

Someone south of Viola, in the Saddle Ridge/ Joyce Road area is trophy
hunting. It is disgusting. I have only lived in this neighborhood for 5
years, so I have no idea how long they have been doing it, because it has
happened every year that I have been here.
I have zero issue with people hunting game. People who kill male animals to
cut off their antlers and leave the carcass to rot are below useless.
Trophy hunting is blatantly not sustainable. Why don't people understand
that culling the world of the best specimens of the breed is weakening the
gene pool of that breed?
Anyway, this year, it has not even been for an impressive rack, it was a
young bull moose, with smaller antlers. The first bull moose I have seen
from my house in a few years. The last one I saw was more mature, had a
more impressive rack, and was also poached for his rack.
Typically, though, it is buck deer that are shot and left to rot. The head
is never taken, only the rack.
I hope your hideous coat rack or chandelier or what ever falls on you.
Sincerely,
Lynn McCollough
