Not a surprise. When animal hunting is legal, people breed animals for hunting. Some escaped extinction this way.
- dvanduzer 6y agoWe must act now, and let the billionaire class play the Most Dangerous Game. It's our only chance of survival!
- cheez 6y agoOr maybe we let ivory tower IYIs make the choices?

I could see this being true when the hunting is at least properly managed but in the past when it was allowed to go overboard animals did go extinct as a result. Especially when people were hunting for economic reasons.
- cheez 6y agoTrue, does need to be managed rather than outright banned is the idea though.
- DamnYuppie 6y agoAgreed, unregulated hunting for economic benefit nearly denuded the US of large mammals. I only wish people would view industrial fishing in the same way. The seas and their inhabitants need protecting.
