Clinton News-Record, 1984-02-15, Page 15�. Natarfly Speaking By Steve Cooke Support "good" organizations Well, it .looks like the anti -groups and preservationists are at it again, but it's no real surprise to me that they're coming on so strong at this time of year. For the past decade or so, a large portion of their funding has flooded in during the early spring as a result of their plea for money to stop the seal hunt. Well, they did manage to get that operation stopped, but now they don't have those big -eyed cute bundles of fur to play on people's emotions with, and the money - eating structures of those organizations are getting very hungry. A new cause is required, and it even becomes sort of amusing to watch everyone scrambling around �tiying to find -one: The =the deer ,noose and elk populations will -be wolf hunt in British Columbia is a good ex- reduced to a level far below their actual car - ample.

That was true when there were large pools of reserves, but even then it wasn't smooth • sailing but a drastic sequence of ups and downs. Encroachment by man has changed . all that, however, and the only way we could return to a natural balance would be by eliminating most of the population in the world. The same rules which would apply to wildlife would. also have to be applied to man so that species could be kept in balance • as well.

But, in order to achieve the "pie in the sky" state that preservationists advocate, it would have to be done. Fortunately, we have a saner group of peopl�� round who are con- servationists, a comple'lely different group. than the preservationists. A true con- servationist realizes that resources like our wildlife have to be managed to maintain an even balance, and sometimes that means removing a surplus of one species for the benefit of all.
