    Most hunters I know would never go after something that is considered endangered. Poachers and trophy hunters do that. Hunters as a standard are going out and hunting for the training, skills and to live as part of nature. I'm seeing most of the complaints here are driven at the kind of hunters that many hunters themselves declare they hate and wouldn't mind shooting if they ever caught them on their lands. I have seen on some camping trips I've done on lands that people have shot deer or other animals and left them behind. These incidents get reported when they happen.

    A majority of hunters are actually not trophy hunters is the point I'm trying to make. Those that are, I really don't have much respect for either. There are numerous laws though and those that care, including hunters that hunt for food and own their own lands strictly are against that behavior. I do think trophy hunting and 'Big Game' hunting ought to be more monitored but a lot of the Big Game hunting is already illegal and the laws pertaining to taxidermy etc are also made and activities there are checked out too. In the U.S. any way. The problems more happen in areas like Africa where elephants get hunted simply for ivory or moon bears in China are collected for bear bile etc. We can make these things illegal all we want but there is almost an 'honor system' as far as some things go because the wealthy will go out of their way at times using the black market even to get things others don't have. These people are generally not hunters themselves. So there to me lies part of the problem.

    There are animals such as duck, deer, rabbit etc that many hunters kill and seriously, they are hardly going on the endangered list because they reproduce so quickly. Since people in the U.S. at any rate killed off many of the predators in the past, hunting is somewhat a boon to allowing the animals to not grow over populated and starve to death. Most hunters again love nature and would have their own morals about shooting some endangered creature. There are actually ways to get lists of those and many endangered animals were more troubled in the first place by relocation, pesticides and other such things. I'm not going to say some were not affected by hunters, but there are other things to attack here when it comes to animals like the Bald Eagle, a lot of birds on the list etc. In the end, I suppose the only legitimate reason to 'hunt' should be that what you kill you eat or sell the meat. Otherwise, I'm also not seeing a reason to be out there killing animals. If people make trophies then with antlers and such, I don't see anything wrong with that but yes, taxidermy in the past was over the top. Things have toned down in the U.S. but yes, it still needs work and part of that is dealing with wealthy people that go and seek out the things that others can go get them. The problems to me though seem more to be outside of this country. I'm not sure how other countries deal with hunting but other than stupid idiots going out with BB guns or rifles shooting animals for sport and not using what they kill, we really aren't so bad. What these people are doing is illegal and the best thing to do is report them.

    That's the problem right now is that it's hard to prove innocence for anyone at this time. So some may be doing this as an alibi but I know I'm not the Kira. I'm kind of suspecting I'll be one of the first ones killed off if anything just because I guessed last time. lol

    See you all tomorrow and hey jettie. Everyone is a suspect right now except for 3 people in my book. (me included!). Have a good night all!

    Yeah, that's basically all we have as possible leads it seems at the moment. No one is really talking but a few of us so maybe keeping track of that is at least something to start with.

    He could have but I'm doubting that. Of course, ICSP is sneaky like that so perhaps I shouldn't be so hasty in eliminating Trogdor but I'm going to go with it at this time that it probably isn't just to try at least to shorten the list. Maybe one way to investigate this is to see who comes in and leaves and doesn't post. That might leave -some- clue perhaps that we could question on.

    I think we can go on with investigations. We did last time. We just held off on actual accusations until ICSP posted so we knew he'd be around since he delivers our untimely death announcements.

    Well, we'd no doubts have to curb the sensuality and such since the site wouldn't clear that, but it's something maybe we could do if we could think of some plot line to go with it. It could be a lot of fun and I still get dibs on Marius if we do it. lol

    The Shinigami is on no one's side and is kind of overseeing stuff so I'd guess he can post whenever outside of the box or someone really left a lot of peaches out.

    Those are our names so far again. A lot of people are being quiet and not putting forth any evidence so it makes it hard to really pinpoint the kira right now. However, I think we can definitely all agree that the following people -have- to be detectives.

    Trogdor - former Kira. Can't do it again but can be a detective now.
    Amber - is new and joined last and so the chances are that she's the Kira are pretty minimal to me right now.

    I'm leaning towards TrueKeybladeMaster not being the Kira but unsure absolutely. Basically what we need is more talking and evidence at this point to add more to the detective circle. There are quite a few people not talking right now so any of them could be the Kira easily enough but that's also easy to presume so we should be careful on that too.

    How much is it going for on Ebay? I do see it on Amazon.com and a couple other places doing a google search. Here's something to get you started.

    Yeah, I'm serious. I really do have dyslexia but have worked for years in memorizing spelling etc to the best of my ability. However, names that are unusual or numbers, I tend to switch those around. Good fun. lol

    Now...we need some investigative thoughts here.

    Zexion, rawr! Okay, cool deal! I can see what you mean now about the vampire thing. I thought you were adding the vampires but now I get where you are going with it. I can see how that would mess up stuff to actually add them. However, Vampire Lestat was the other book I really loved and also Pandora's, Armand's and Marius's books were great too.

    Is there a person's nick on this forum I haven't mutilated yet? That's the sad thing. I have dyslexia so now and then I do switch letters or miss things even with the best of intents. :(

    Actually, even though I wouldn't really do prostitution, I don't really see anything -wrong- with it. I don't see it as an evil act as long as the prostitution going on is well, between two consenting adults. If someone wants to pay for sex and someone is willing to give out sex for money, I don't see the issue as being any worse than having a one night stand with someone you meet at a club.

    Of course, the problems come when someone is actually married or with someone else and that person is well, being a ******. However, if the partner finds out, he/she can leave the other person and find someone not into that sort of thing. There are people who don't like prostitution as much as they don't like the idea of going to a club and picking up someone for a one night stand. In the end, know your partner because some people aren't very loyal.

    I think prostitution should be legalized. I believe it would fix up a lot of issues with abuse, gang violence, and well, the pimp crap going on. Also, prostitutes could get actual health coverage and stuff they are denied and if criminal activities were going on, they could actually be considered real citizens and report them instead of worrying that their own occupations will land them in jail too. They also won't get blackmailed by cops to report things or their cover as prostitutes will get blown. It is legal in some other countries and they get better taken care of so diseases etc aren't spread. Countries that have legalized prostitution can be pretty stringent in insuring that the prostitutes are clean and some business establishments are actually pretty 'classy' as far as you can be when sex in on the venue. Sex sells and everyone knows it. Some men and women expect things in relationships all the time to pay attention to the other partner. I don't really see it as a bad thing for someone who has no one he/she is with at the time going and paying some money for a non-committed sexual encounter. I know that religions are against it but eh, I feel adults have some privileges that are their own to make between themselves. As long as people are honest about it or not with someone, who cares? I'm not sure who it even affects in this case.

    What about peaches and cream?

    I'm debating on Chervelier now but the statements are very bold. However, if for some reason I die, keep that evil mean person on the list. -.-

    Hey all and it probably was mentioned in Court and I just was too tired to notice or something lame. lol

    Any way I'm here now and all that jazz. Maybe we'll actually all work together on some court cases. Then...totally everyone else in the opposition is boned.

    Twilight, your Rpg sounds fun. I love Anne Rice Vampires. I'd so call being Marius Romanus...and uh..for Org member... Zexion since Axel is taken. Is it just Org and Anne Rice Vampires? I'm curious on how this is going to work. Sounds intriguing.
