I wonder if I've mentioned my own stance on hunting here? :thinks:

Those of us Scots who are now retired know that SOPA used to stand for the Scottish Office Pensions Agency; however, it was replaced by the Scottish Public Pensions Authority, which now supports me. :tea:
Pray, do not mock me: I am a very foolish fond old man; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind.

Blah blah blah blah blah!

I still like a bit of venison from time to time... a shame I'm no outdoorsman and can't hunt it personally.
Now, culling the herds and depopulating an area are different things altogether.

We get culled deer at the Center, the wolves love it. And it gives them a taste of wild food.

A news analysis in the information technology magazine eWeek stated, "The language of SOPA is so broad, the rules so unconnected to the reality of Internet technology and the penalties so disconnected from the alleged crimes that this bill could effectively kill e-commerce or even normal Internet use. The bill also has grave implications for existing U.S., foreign and international laws and is sure to spend decades in court challenges."
