I dunno - maybe they derive some sick satisfaction from the notion that at least no one is enjoying it, that only game department "professionals" are now killing them. Well, I've got news for those morons - the fish cops that get to go hunt with the houndsmen think they've died and gone to hunting heaven. Best gig in the department - hunting cats (and soon bears) for free. Hell, not just for free - getting paid to do it.
The folks that pushed these laws through, and the hand-wringing dip sheets that voted for it are quite simply some of the stupidest people on earth. It's really too bad that their emotions can win the day over sound, scientific management principles.

I suppose the truth lies somewhere between "sick satisfaction,"died and gone to hunting heaven," and "sound, scientific management principles."
Hard to believe your hunters who are experiencing the emotion of having "died and gone to hunting heaven," are really only in heaven because of the unemotional task of "sound, scientific management principles."
