The only way to keep their population in check is to kill them, no? How would you humanely kill them without shooting them? Couldn't introducing another predator to hunt them cause even more unforeseen ecological problems?
- kbenson 12y agoI don't know, is it? Maybe instead of introducing a new predator we reintroduce the old ones we removed? In in the absence of those, or if we are concerned about the outcome of reintroducing a predator, yes, manage them as needed, which may mean shooting them. Does that change whether I feel sympathy for hunters who hunt for enjoyment or tradition that no longer get to? Not at all. I see these as entirely different things.
