Well.....Playing the "Devil's Advocate" here, the common perception and mantra from "those people", (hereafter referred to as "they"), is that animal predators are just doing the thing that they were designed by Mother Nature to do.
If left alone, the balance of Nature will take care of itself, and the weak and old animals will be removed from the gene pool, thereby rendering the targeted herd, better overall health and numbers.
Essentially, this is the accepted viewpoint of Nature Fakers everywhere, printed and espoused by scientists and wildlife agencies worldwide.
They don't, in any way, shape, or form, listen to any argument that is presented by anyone outside their information circle. ANY other viewpoint is simply designed from "spin" and is presented as an excuse to kill "defenseless animals".
The "trophy hunting" aspect is far more devastating to the herds, in that the healthiest animals are taken out, leaving inferior genes to be passed on, ultimately causing the health, numbers and quality to deteriorate.
Clearly, these arguments are sound, common sense realities, that require quite a stretch to justify a "hunting" situation, being used as a management tool. You better be on top of your game to even begin an argument to the contrary.
Eighty percent of the people in the world don't hunt. They don't think like we do and they don't have a single reason whatsoever, to listen to OUR side of the story. There is simply NO logical reason that they should even care about another point of view......so they don't.
They firmly believe that, "There is NO excuse, whatsoever, for hunting".....period, end of story.
"They" will eventually eliminate "US" altogether.
"I could agree with you, but then we would both be
wrong......and stupid"
