>>>>>>Absolutely. I've said for years that if a person wants to hunt bear, he should get himself a good set of claws and have at it.

>>>>>Ok, so you think the person should play on the bears field. There's only one problem with that. The bears is much stronger, much faster, much better at surviving in the wilderness. The bear uses those advantages to overcome his prey. The human uses his strengths, like his ability to out-think the opponent. This is why we sit atop the food chain. The bear brings speed and strength to the fight, the human brings guns and ammo. "Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you."

>>>>>So, you see, it is a "fair" fight. Each uses their available resources. The only difference is the bear has no rules, humans do.

>>>>And you think the bear should have to play on the person's field. You really figure stalking a bear and shooting him from a distance is a fair fight? If you check the scorecard, I think you'll find that the humans are waaaaayyyy ahead. The fight is rigged.

>>>I'm more of the judge Roy Bean mentality when it comes to fighting. If the other side wants a "fair" fight, they should go somewhere else. We are way ahead, because we sit atop the food chain. Don't forget, we are the only animal that blushes, or needs to....

>>Where can the 'other side' go if you're going to stalk it in the hopes of killing it? Remember, the bear was wandering around in the woods minding his own business until you showed up with your gun hunting him down.

>Isn't that called "natural selection" <g>

No, no. Using a gun makes it "artificial selection". ;)
