I know beyond any doubt, that your first line is unquestionable for many of us, but I believe we all know there is a shrinking landscape. If hunters walk the walk, shouldn't they have a say in what their place is.

Why won't anyone ask, why were songbirds brought up at this meeting, and what was the motivation? Were songbirds brought up in the context of an entire ecosystem, or as an incidental antihunting point to fire up that base. Does context matter. If any of those who gave you a like, said they've never seen hunting grounds closed due to a non game species lobbying effort, would anyone believe them.
