Anybody else catch Ted Nugent vs Heidi Prescott of the HSUS last night on CNN (12/1)?
I thought it was poignant given my recent post on dog fighting and the following discussion on HSUS. The topic was "What age is too young for kids to go hunting?" HSUS wants legislation that children must be 16 YO before they can hunt citing recent hunting accidents involving young hunters. Nuge mentioned a kid that was 5 that he had recently gone hunting with as well as statistics that showed more kids on average are hurt playing ping pong and football than by hunting accidents. Anyhow it got interesting right at the end when Nuge made the statement that HSUS wanted to ban ALL hunting. "Let's call a spade a spade. Ain't that right, Heidi?" No answer from Heidi, you could tell she was caught off guard. Then Ted says, "Heidi ho?" after a long pause by Heidi. She went into how they wanted to ban "canned hunting, internet hunting etc" but never outrightly said "all hunting" and then it was time to move on. Nuge got her good... I though CNN did a good job of staying in the middle on it btw
