You know, I just shake my head everytime somebody - in any situation, like WC bp's, deer hunting, moose hunting or whatever - tries to justify it by saying, "we're just trying to control the population." or "we're trying to promote species health through survival of the fittest".
Population control and strength of the species is something Mother Nature is designed for. Anything we do to change nature's design has to be thought of long and hard because anything we do has environmental impacts all over that, unless we are experts on the field, can have drastic and sometimes irreparable undesired results. This news item is a perfect example of this:

So, I tend to throw all those amateur "controlling population" reasons to the junk pile as some idiot trying to justify his idiot behavior without even bothering to really understand what they are trying to do. Too much to do, too little time, ya know.
this post is so unfounded and the link is utter crap if you read it they rounded up every cat on the island this by now means compares to that.

as for hunting every person who hunts my farm limits out every year LEGALLY and the last day of the season i saw another 30+ deer going to my place. and these animals will do just what your article says they would strip the land and make all other animals die off! if you wanna spend more time worrying about something perhaps you should worry more about deforestation world wide.

also then if all that goes together why dont we stop feeding other nations! let them starve also its not our fault they overpopulated
