2 months agoI think it depends on the types of hunting. If it’s truly conservation focused, and culling is good for the broader population, then the hunting license fees can help support other conservation efforts.
That’s what a lot of the African big game hunting seems to be. Personally I still think those hunters are assholes, it if local wardens are targeting specific animals that are harming the population (usually older aggressive males), then is sounds like it benefits the local conservation efforts with large license fees.
