    I usually pass over these posts and just let people do their thing in the comments, but this was just especially ugly in here and this guy really seemed low on the potentially evil guy scale. It can be hard to wrap your head around how killing animals can save animals, and I don’t ask anyone to cheer for it, but it is modern wildlife management practice. It is part of a holistic plan, and one we can have a lot of say and control over.

    I would be sad to have to take part in an animal cull. This guy found some enjoyment in it and paid a ton of money to do something that ultimately benefited more animals than it hurt. For most of this guy’s life, his actions likely helped more animals than every commenter in this thread, myself included, because I know I can’t afford to give tens of thousands of dollars to my animal causes.

    If people want to get mad at me for my response, I can’t likely change that no matter how reasonable I try to be, but being on both sides of the story to some extent, I feel I know a bit of what I’m talking about.
