Why are the antelopes less important than the elephants?
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.
Stewardship of the land, environment, and creatures apon it is why, a species going through endangerment isn’t going to pose even a quarter of the issues a booming elk population without wolves can for example.
As for your emotional point, wholly irrelevant. I would happily maim plenty of humans before granting them an indigent and painful death. So long as the kill is as clean as possible and as much of the animal is used as possible. Your emotional argument is wholly empty to me.
I didn’t say that. Just pointed out how the title could be misleading.
