Preserving the Democracy and the Soul of the Hunt

Jim Posewitz - Orion The Hunter's Institute

buckThe Centennial Meeting of the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is the perfect venue for addressing: wildlife, conservation, hunting, domesticating wild animals, and then killing them inside woven wire compounds. The sequence just recited sounds like a death spiral, and for hunters and hunting - it is. Your theme for this meeting, Promises Fulfilled / Promises to Keep, establishes the perfect perspective for addressing this issue. The fencing and farming of wildlife is an issue that begs a perspective of time, geography, and philosophy to impress upon us what is at stake for North America, its wildlife, and its people.
