No. And hunting for meat or need is one thing. Hunting for sport—particularly an animal as majestic and scarce as a large Grizzly—is to my way of thinking obscene.
But I realize I won't persuade you of this, and that the gun culture trumps all in your neck of the woods.
As I mentioned in the wildlife photography thread, I recently met a man who lives with these animals for weeks at a time and photographs them. I attach a couple of pics below.
If you ask me who is the more evolved human being—those two hunters in the photograph who kill these animals for sport, or the person who took the photos below—well, I think you know what my answer will be.
We're all on this planet together. And everything is connected.
