As you may know I am taking classes at BCC in belleveue.One of my classes is every other monday for 3 hours. This is a decussion group about the eviroment in the pugent sound area.
I am the only person in class that hunts fishies and owns a truck or beleives that gore lost. Last week i was told that there was no reason for sport fishing. that it was just killing for fun and should be out lawed.
This was the whole class and the teacher. I was trying to make the point that if we are really serious about helping bring back the salmon and steelhead in this state then the tribes should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. I also beleive that with 85% of the worlds salmon being farmed raise their is no reason to allow a commercial fishery in the sound or the CR for anyone.
The mere fact that I included the tribes in my statment caused one student to scream at me then stomp out of the room.
All these students are hoping to find jobs in local goverment so they can change the way we live. they have told me that their goal in life is to have fishing hunting, boating , and driving your own car outlawed.
i have been told that living in the country on my own land should be stopped. they want everyone to live in side the city and only go into the woods after getting a permit.
back to the topic at hand . They all want fishing stopped becouse it is cruel and has no reason to exist. they are told by the teachers that if they support peta and other groups that one day they can make all this happen. I have a lot of fun in my class. for people that are always talking about free speach they tell me to shut up a lot.
