FWIW, that's how ecosystems work.
Conservationist hunters (humans) endeavor to manage herd sizes in order to keep illness and age from devastating the health of target groups.
For example, if a herd of deer is allowed to grow beyond the size its available food sources can sustain, the older, injured, young, and/or less-capable members (ie. fast, agile, alert, etc) will eat the food that otherwise healthy and viable ones need to support the herd's collective success and thus decreasing (starvation, infection, etc.) the number of healthy individuals among them available to maintain the herd for the future... ππΌββοΈ
human hunters rarely take the weak and sick, causing the overall health of the prey animals to be diminished.
wolves usually take the weak and aged to leave healthy and young herds
You'll notice that I prominently included the word "conservationist", friend. Please adjust your argument to avoid diluting or destabilizing your understanding of the specific topic.
naaa what I said shouldn't be taken personally unless you personify someone who thinks they are helping by hunting for sport
It wasn't taken personally, son. You're just wrong, is all.
oh for the love of... fuck off
No, you π€πΌπ€£
