From John_giu: So, it’s NOT illegal? Are they endangered? Is this like PETA not "LIKING" deer hunting?And please don’t bore me with flame throwing, I am simply trying to understand the issue at hand, so as to come to an informed opinion. ...


No it wasn’t illegal just bad form! Does there need to be a law against something to make it wrong?

It’s a spot where divers go to observe GPO’s, like the grouper who always meets you at your favorite dive site, it’s like the deer in my neigborhood that mow the lawn who don’t even leave when you come outside, they are more pets than wildlife. Okay my wife wishes the bobcat would leave!

You wouldn’t go to a shark feeding site to hunt sharks, some dives sites in Florida to hunt grouper or some spots in the NW to hunt GPO"s. Besides he wasn’t "hunting", everyone knew where that GPO nested and if you had seen his Facebook page before he took the pictures down it was about killing, not hunting for food.
