    One has a fragile population and is well respected the other doesn’t. It’s for the same reason Bison hunting is looked down apon but annihilating a boar with a landmine wouldn’t be.

    Edit: Just noticed that the species he was hunting was endangered, fuck him. My point still stands for boars though

      Why does being endangered matter? They both have a preference to live, and would choose to not die. They both feel pain and fear. They don’t know they’re endangered. All they know is they want to live.

      Humans killing animals is mostly unnecessary.
