Hunting POLL
Hunter advocacy groups have existed for decades. They are well organized and successful in their efforts to convince the non-hunting (often naïve) public that hunting is necessary, an important tradition-even a constitutional right- responsible for saving wildlife species from extinction.
When hunter advocacy groups face a challenge to hunting, their first response is a vigorous claim that the challenger is simply ‘anti-hunting’. Making this unsupported assertion, in their view, eliminates any ‘standing’ for the challenger and negates the need for further discussion.
By and large, this strategy has been moderately successful.
State wildlife management agencies have supported this notion by asserting that hunting enjoys 70-80% support from the public.
