That should give time for Grendel to come up with some hard data on why the JSF is a good buy, where Australia comes now in the list of world military spending, how all these new destroyers will defend themselves (let alone Australia) ETC. Have a nice day

How so?

When I was in Africa my guide told me that the tribes used to have an animal totem and that hunting that animal was forbidden within their territory, effectively creating a species specific no-take zone.

FD, it is because Quote:

It is no accident that many sacred sites and areas are also important animal nurseries.

These areas become no hunt zones period. Or they may be seasonally specific. It probably helped if the no-hunt period coincided with times of fruit abundance etc. these areas were recognised for their contribution to sustanability.

Tim Flannery's book The Future Eaters is an easy and excellent read and covers some of these concepts. I think you would enjoy it. Tim is a big fan of harvestable meat sources as opposed to farming.

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.
