| Message | Unlimited hunting and fishing will deplete those things which we hunt and fish for. Wise management is preferable over a free-for-all. The PMP does not support this bill. |

| Message | We thank the ISLP for their support and believe this regulation is un-necessary and puts a hamper on recreation as well as our economy. |

| Message | "...Hunting and fishing activities are restricted to designated areas and periods..." This law makes sure also the next generations will be able to do this. We can't waste our living resources just because someone had a crazy idea after he abused drugs. |

| Message | The current law makes sense to uss too. If your favourite animal to hunt is out of season, go deep-sea fishing. The supply of animals upon these isles is limited and a rational policy limiting how many of them can be hunted ensures that they will survive into the next generation, so that future hunters may also enjoy the same thrill. In fact, we would not be adverse to limiting the means used in hunting to the following weapons: 1. Bow 2. Spear 3. Bare Hands 4. Sling and Stone 5. Overgrown Fingernails |

| Message | This bill has been in debate for about three years now. There has been no new debate (except for some homegrown PMP sarcasm) for some time now. Could this *PLEASE* either be put to a vote or deleted from the agenda? |
