Hunting also occasionally wipes out species or unbalances local ecosystems, which is pretty unfortunate. We need to be absolutely certain we can control for that before letting people just show up with a rifle and have a good time.
"Keep the cash cow alive" is indeed a good incentive but we have many historical examples of businesses valuing short-term income or success over long-term reliability. You need look no further than Facebook Games (where the big players basically destroyed the viability of a genre entirely, and knowingly did so - there are quotes from high-level Zynga leads on this) or the dust bowl to realize how short-sighted people can be.
It would be great if this could be executed in a way that helps the local economy and preserves the ecosystem, though.

My post says: we have two options (ideals or pragmatism) and a bunch of people focusing on ideals while the world burns. To hear a response focus on ideals proves that for most emotions < real life. There are real world options, being used right now. With pros and cons. That are known. But it means taking a cold hard look at things, not feeling good about 'protecting' in an ineffective manner.
