"Unfortunately ALL political parties react to emotion vs science. Its called getting re-elected." Bang friggin' on.
And that observation is the reason we need to build social license. Sounds like kumbayah jargon, but it's true.
If we're represented as people who just want to kill innocent animals because we're weak, sociopathic and have small penises we are going to lose.
If we are recognized as conservationists who harvest sustainable meat with a smaller carbon footprint than the average person and who protect the wild landscape and it's plant and animal inhabitants? We might have a chance.
"It will take a quantum shift in the public's attitude , and that will take many resources. Who is up for the challenge ???" Again, you've nailed what it will take and you ask the important question.
