Per Ashton Crusher:
It takes no great skill to pay a
$50,000 fee, hire half a dozen "guides", surround yourself with 2 tons
of armored vehicles so the animals can't get to you, and then go
"hunt" an animal that is of no value as food and that is more "rounded
up" then hunted. And then to do it illegally when you already had the
entire deck stacked in your favor to start with but not even that was
good enough for your meager skills at "hunting".
Devil's Advocate Question: How does that substantially differ from what
happens in a slaughterhouse?
I can cite a few diffs, but would like to hear what others say.
The animals in the slaughterhouse are raised for meat. Theyh are not
declining in numbers but are controlled.
Lions in the wild went from 420,000 in the 1940's to about 20,000 today..
Deer seem to be prolific and hunting is not destroying them completely
and is controlled. Most that are hunted are used for food.
Killing a lion on a preserve is closer to shooting your pet dog. OK,
let him off the leash BANG! Got a trophy!

But, OMG! You used *statistics*. I did exactly the same thing
and you saw that at least one loon denier here can't accept that.
What sort of person would be so horrible to deny a poor defenseless loon anything. They're such cute birds. (^ĚŽ^)
