Isn hunting or sharp shooting just as humane as using PZP vaccine?
Hunting is extremely cruel, causing intense suffering. It has been estimated that for every animal a hunter kills and recovers, at least two wounded but unrecovered animals die slowly and painfully of blood loss, infection, or starvation. Those who don’t die often suffer disabling injuries. Archery wounding rates are much higher than gun wounding rates: studies done by hunters or fish and game agencies often show rates hovering around 50% although some studies show rates as high as 90%. Even chasing deer causes intense stress as was revealed by a recent scientific study in England which measured stress hormones, etc. in the blood. Chasing deer can also use up fat reserves necessary for survival in a harsh winter.
