Very interesting

I suppose getting smeared by a car would, in a way, be quicker and painless. That's generally how it ends for them in the city, remember.

Translocating an animal could also translocate any disease it has. On the other hand, translocating means the animal may breed and have its genes translocated to a new area. There is more to consider than the animal itself.

maybe just stop expanding, stop thinking growth as a positive thing. Constantly wanting more, having more... yeah, ain't good. Conservation, conservative, sustainability.

Yes. It is humane.
