What do you think about people who practice their survival fishing skills by catching and eating species of fish that have sensitive, threatened, or endangered status? I know it is one thing to be starving in a real survival situation and to have nothing but what is at hand, but for practice? I think that survivalism carries with it a certain degree of ethical stewardship for the land and its creatures, and I think most people agree with me on this. That is to say that I find it hard to believe that the majority of survival-minded individuals would knowingly condone, contribute to, or cause species decline, in a practice situation, when the species in question has sensitive, threatened, or endangered staus. I am presently arguing with a well-known survivalist, to my disconcertion, concerning this question, and I seek insight into what the other (the well-known survivalist's) viewpoint must be. Any thoughts will be helpful.
