State and corporate sponsored pollution is something that committed environmentalists have drawn attention to for many years, whatever you think about global warming, so it's a bit daft to call them ALL a bunch of hypocrites.
Name some hunters that shoot JUST for thrill and ego, please. Also in hunting as opposed to Environmentalism, the rights of average everyday people aren't trod on, you can drive cars, you can build houses, you can hunt or not hunt, you can buy from small farms or factory farms, it's all your choice. With Environmentalism it's about limiting choice, raising prices, and most importantly it's about limiting access and control be it of food supplies, transportation, what have you. So for Al Gore the A#1 big shot of all things "Anthropogenic Global Warming" to preach this bullshit about how we're running out of time to "save the Earth" while he's flying from nation to nation on a PRIVATE JET and being driven around in MULTIVEHICLE MOTORCADES it's hypocritical, it's dumb, and frankly it's going to get to the point where it's extremely dangerous as in PEOPLE WILL DIE.....how many people do hunters kill? I know quite a few, they don't kill people....as a matter of fact a lot of my hunter friends donate meat that they have harvested to those who are bad off. And as a point about the health of said meat, venison is 90 some % fat free, it is the leanest of red meats.

But hey, listen to Al Gore, follow the greenies, do what you like...but just as with the Second Amendment you keep your hands off of MY rights, I harm nobody in doing what I do.
