If it weren't for Leopold, we may not have a Wilderness Program. Do your research before calling someone an idiot.
It honestly scares me that some of you can vote. Instead of engaging in a competent discussion, you resort to name calling. Bravo, bravo. You people can't see the forest for the trees, and have absolutely no clue. No clue.
Great article.
The meat eater who rides a bike as his full time vehicle leaves a bigger carbon footprint than the vegan who drives a Hummer H1 as his full time vehicle.
Catching and eating a fish has essentially no impact on your carbon footprint. However, eating meat, dairy and certain other fruits and vegetables that are not locally sourced has huge impact on one's carbon footprint. In fact switching to a locally sourced diet can reduce the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of driving 1,000 miles (.... More
is an integral part to the complex ecosystem in which it lives. By eating walleye you are effecting its environment, our environment, negatively. By effecting the environment negatively, YOU are a naive and ignorant person who should not be writing for an environmental blog.
Also, any justification for eating of animals that you create is just an illogical and irrational excuse to defend your own ignorance.
And don't use the racist Teddy Roosevelt to defend your irrational.... More
Yum, walley is delicious. Fishing walleye is a great tradition in Minnesota and with proper management (which is one reason we support the DNR), we will be able to enjoy this resource forever. To suggest that one does not support the environment if one consumes fish, is a bit naive. Thanks, also, for the link to the recipes. That's a nice addition to the article.
Hey all, I like the discussion. It seems there are some contradicting opinions as to how fishing and hunting influence the environment. The issues being argued aren't exactly touching on the same subject. That is, some seem to be only considering the micro impact while disregarding the macro. In my own defense, I'll say that I love the environment and that fishing and hunting can indeed promote environmental sustainability. Stay tuned for my next post. It will be how fishing and hunting in.... More
why are you writing for an environmental blog?
EATING ANIMALS AND BUYING DUCK STAMPS IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!!!!!!!
literally, it is the least anyone could do . . .
that if it wasn't for great animal killers (sportsmen) such as Teddy Roosevelt, Aldo Leopold, etc, that we wouldn't have such great animals today?!?!? and your title is ignorant?
Nice logic idiot.
...of people to bash hunting and fishing. License sales and sales tax of hunting/fishing equipment fund most wildlife protection. If it weren't for sportsman such as Teddy Roosevelt, Aldo Leopold, etc. a lot of species wouldn't have made it. If someone really cares about the environment, go buy a duck stamp.
Great article, I love to catch Saugeye....right up there with crappie for table fare.
I don't think making the most of nature's resources by eating fish is quite as villainous as you've made it sound.
AND KILL IT AND EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!
