The Perfect Alternative To Petitions

I wanted to say something a little general about the politics of the activities pro all kind of hunting.
Every now and then there is a new campaign against this or that country on the issue of her approach to the subject of hunting. As the new campaigns and the old ones indicate it takes more than an appeal to the humanity of the states to really make a difference, I haven’t figured it out yet but every campaign gets a lot of popular support but the political influence is limited to the countries that are opposed to it from the start.

In order to see that is the weak place is all the activities I’ve reviewed the history of the last years and seen that it is easy to get a state to agree on fighting the cruel hunting in another state it is not invested with. When it comes to really make Japan stop the whale hunting, or to make Canada stop the seals hunting then nothing seems to work. The US would ban seal products but allow for dear hunting, and each country seems to be attached to this or that habit of killing animals for "very logical reasons".

So if petitions only work on the already convinced it is clear that another way of breaking the legitimacy of hunting is to be found, a way that would influence the very countries that are involved and not just people in other states. I think that one of the ways to change a situation from inside the states is to get the support of the children.

There is nothing more effective than children being ashamed of their parents for killing nice ceatures. The more movies for children there are with whales, or seals or other animals as heroes the less possible for the people to ignore their children in relation to hunting and in a few years the children of today would refuse to continue the family traditions.
