Yeah, and I know that many are taken on 'game farms' are places that rent
out animals to movies.
Actually, that's ok, cuz they can't be considered 'wild'.
I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable with reading about the various ways
to harrass wild animals. I'm not talking about sitting in a blind, but
baiting, calling, etc. Seems that they should be left wild and that contact
with humans renders them less wild, and in the case of large animals,
dangerous.
And I ain't no friggin' animal rights nut... my wife has a mink coat, my
daughter has a shearling coat... wouldja believe I wear <gasp> leather
shoes AND I'm having roast beef tonite???
But when I go out in the wild, I treasure the unexpected encounters with
wild animals, and wouldn't dream of chasing them around to get photos...
Regards,
Denton Taylor
