My biology professor at University once said environmentalists are like religious fanatics. They act on feeling rather than logic and fail to foresee the consequences of their actions (RE: Introduction of Rabbits to Australia). Meanwhile, ecologists are legitimate scientists who don't just contemplate what action to take, but what the consequences of that action will be. Rather than banning hunting or overhunting, a balance needs to be maintained on an 'As Needed' basis. Sadly, humans have a habit of eliminating the predators that would naturally curb the numbers of certain prey species. As a result, overpopulation can become an issue. So while I dislike hunting personally, I understand that it is necessary to implement regulated hunting to keep certain populations under control.

[@animalogic]

Fair point! Though the hunting of the Saiga wasn't a population control thing. In the 20s it was for their meat, and more recently it was as an alternative to Rhinos. A strange proposition...

Hunting to maintain healthy populations is the only kind of hunting I can even come close to accepting. It would still be nice to see natural predators reintroduced and protected when possible like the grey wolf in the Yellowstone area.

Why is it that every animal poached is for chinese traditional medicine?

[@Diraphe]

Because the Chinese culture is messed up and cruel.

[@moomimi]

@@Diraphe Don't forget Mainland Chinese are the worst unethical tourists.

It’s mainly Bc of the lack of education and superstition. My mom’s into all that, like grinding a goat’s horn and drinking the powder to help you sleep buuut idk if that actually works :/

[@theonehavingthekey5966]

You are partially right. "Human are the reason why we can't have nice things". Yes, but also human are the true root of this planet destruction. We literally have no regard for the environment, we claim we care for the life around us, but continuously destroy it! We say we are building and growing economy, but in return we destroy just as much as we create. No one will win in the end. The Earth has the final say. We will all lose all for merely materialistic thing. You can create another car that has crashed, but impossible to create the same life lost.

Fun fact: Named after the Saiga Antelope, the Saiga series of rifles is based on the AK-47 weapon system originally designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The series was developed for shooters who wanted the reliability of an AK pattern rifle in a non-military package.
