If hunting were indeed about population control, why are hunters allowed to kill mountain lions and bucks, as opposed to does?
Hunting isn’t about population control and it isn’t about putting food on the table. It’s about recreation and the recreation dollar. Hunters have contest hunting for trophies in which prizes are awarded for the most or largest animals killed. Our society condones going into animals’ homes—the only place their families and social groups could be free and safe—to hunt and kill them.
