[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5853160, member: 1409"] [B]But, some "issues" have more to do with ethics than legalities?[/B] Let me pose this question to everyone, and no one in particular. Let's say your 18-yr-old daughter comes to you this afternoon, and says . . . . . . . [I]"Dad, I've decided what I'm going to do when I graduate high school! I'm going to Nevada to start out making 6 figures working in a LEGAL brothel!"[/I] To what extent would it matter [U]to you[/U], that prostitution was [I]"legal"?[/I] My point here is there is much more about this baiting issue than just "legalities", a lot more about this than whether or not any wildlife if "harmed" or "not harmed". What about the future of[I] "sport"[/I] hunting? 90% of Americans currently don't participate in this [I]"sport",[/I] but we're told we live in a democracy, where majority rules? What happens when 90% decide [I]ALL [/I]hunting is [I]UNETHICAL, CRUEL,[/I] and [I]HURTS [/I]animals, so therefore all hunting should be made[I] "illegal"?[/I] Most non-hunters already think killing animals over bait is unethical, and should be illegal. [I]"Sport" [/I]hunting will not be outlawed over-night because of baiting issues. But I am certain, the amount of hunting for which you will have "legal" opportunity will decrease due to the legalization of killing game over bait. [/QUOTE]
