That's what the natural predators are for. Sure, humans were once natural predators and still are in many parts of the world, but in this age, in the Unitied States, there is no good reason to hunt deer or the like besides recreation or tradition. Hunting for recreation is bull!@#$%^&*; hunting for tradition I can abide in a few forms. Hunting (particularly by people such as yourself) is not the sole method of population control, either. Population control necessary because of reckless disregard for habitat equilibrium and the slaughtering of many animals because of disease are nowhere near equivalent. Yes, I agree, yet here you are arguing for hunting. I guess you think it's stupid and smart at the same time? Nah, just eliminate wasteful development of land & urban sprawl...and dumb!@#$%^&* hunting. I wouldn't. I do not especially fear coyotes or wolves (maybe all of a large pack ). Where'd a coyote come after you? Why not? Florida has both coyotes and wolves (not a whole lot of wolves, though & probably not grey wolves, either [the wolf population in the entire continental US is pretty tiny, though). Humans are animals, but if you meant do I think my species is more important than others, then, no, I do not. I would and it would last, but I do not have the funds.
