A proposal to allow aerial eradication of many huntable species on Hawaii should be opposed in favor of public hunting opportunities, and the tradition of fair-chase pursuit of game animals. Instead of aerial gunning, the state of Hawaii should promote hunting as a form of eco-tourism. Celebrate the diversity of hunting opportunities in the state, and invite visitors to hunt as part of their quintessential Hawaii experience. I know very few hunters who would balk at the chance to visit Hawaii in the winter months, when hunting seasons have ended at home. Hunt in the morning; relax on the beach in the afternoon. Repeat for a week.That's a recipe for sustainable economic development. Aerial eradication of wildlife is not. "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we f alts our freedoms,it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
