As with most major sweeping systemic changes, this appears to be driven by a smaller vocal minority who are opposed to hunting. If you take the time to speak with these people, they clearly do not understand anything about most things, yet society continues to give them a platform and voice. They don’t understand (and don’t care) that hunting is used as a wildlife management tool AND that many people enjoy the recreational opportunity. They also do not have the ability to reflect on situations or discuss unintended consequences of change. They just want changes for what they want without any thought.

They are collective narcissists and believe in their elitism and superior opinions to be held in higher regard than the differing opinions of others. They are so full of themselves that they expect others to adopt their opinions and often times through force will make sure it happens. Stop giving people like this a voice as they aren’t reasonable enough to be at the table.
