I mean, the guise we use for hunting is that it’s for population control to properly conserve the environment. I suppose if you wanted to say there were some populations that needed controlling on environmental grounds, like billionaires or something, I might be amenable.
It’s more like that hunting permit fees fund actual conservation efforts, not that there’s really much of a legitimate conservation effect from the hunting itself. (Except maybe when it’s an invasive species.)
Sure, I guess you could apply license fees for hunting permits on billionaires to conservation efforts if you insist.
Whoopsies! There goes another one that we’ve hunted to extinction. 🤷🏻♂️
When prey animals are “saved” from their natural predators, they tend to over reproduce and wreak havoc on their environment. Deer in North America is an example that needs to be controlled.

It’s a classic trolly problem.
Track one: about 8,300,000,000 people
Track 2: 3,500 people that aimed the trolleybat track 1.
