Land Ethic

I support the eco centric view that we need to do what is good for the ecosystem, even if that means hunting animals. We are part of nature and it is our responsibility to do what we can to protect our environment. When DJ came to visit yesterday he brought up a few issues. One that caught my attention was the question of whether or not we have a responsibility to our future generation. I take comfort knowning that I won't be around when we face extreme overpopulation and global warming's final effects. However, I will do what I can to make the future as safe a place as possible. Just because I won't be there doesn't mean what I do now won't affect the future. The present sets precedent for our future. Basically, we are the future.

At first I wasn't willing to accept that hunting the exotic creatures in Texas could possibly be good for them. I don't like seeing any animal killed for recreation but they do raise a few good points. They are able to make money off of hunting the animals and with that money they are able to preserve the animals and their land.
