(round here, hunting seasons are arranged so as to avoid this scenario btw - hedging against general ignorance)
And yes the Hunters would know. (Dare I say, the Hunters have a much more intimate knowledge of the breeding seasons and life patterns of their prey?)
Hunting here is for feral/ invasive/ introduced species in the main. There is still talk of introducing/ expanding Kangaroo hunting (yay, thanks climate change! ) in other area and exploring export markets for the meat more.

Please. And they have just as little concern for the well-being of the operator, who are usually foreigners who can't get another job (who in the right mind WANTS to work there?).

But as long as the animal arrives alive it can still be slaughtered, so nobody cares.
Animals can't talk and have no rights, so they're the perfect victims, no industry would ever care if they suffer. If you think everything's fine then you're lying to yourself.

Where do you get your information from Endie??
