It's the senselessness of it. This is a rare animal that is valuable just because it still exists and goats aren't even good eating, IMO. Whitetail deer are massively abundant, they cause tremendous damage to cars, and they taste good.
I can kill a deer without any emotion or remorse at all, but if I killed a puppy, I'd feel awful. This animal was the equivalent of a puppy.
You do realize there are so many deer now because of hunting.
Goats can taste great by the way, but you would never know. Did you know in the wild the eat pretty much the same things as deer? Maybe that is why? You think? And no it was’t a puppy. It was’t somebody’s pet. It was a goat that ate weeds and whose poop stinks.
It is a simple equation. Trophy hunting to shoot these deer and the species survives. No trophy hunting and the species is eradicated.
Wildlife conservation is not your forte, or are you a greenie just generally in favor of extinctions.
