So sad. It may be necessary, but I find it sad when an animal that lives in security must go through the terror of being hunted.
Don’t tell the cranes they’re secure, they’ll ignore the coyotes.
They do not live in "security". They are constantly hunted, and they constantly hunt smaller creatures. It is known as the "state of nature".
“So sad. It may be necessary, but I find it sad when an animal that lives in security must go through the terror of being hunted.”
How anthropomorphic of you. Your mistake is assigning human emotions to wild animals. No wild animal lives in “security”. Animals live by instinct. One such instinct is to be tenacious of life. There is nothing more “terrifying” than survival of the fittest out in the wild. There are no veterinarians on call in the woods.
If these cranes can be taken/harvested in a properly regulated hunt for the good of the overall health of the species and it’s habitat, I’m all for it. Cheer up and don’t be sad.
