If they're that pestiferous we should be encouraging people who have an interest in venison to do something about it.
In America there’s a few programs that donate hunted meat to the disadvantaged. Usually called Hunt for the Hungry or Hunters for the Hungry etc.
Seems Australia is thinking along those lines too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/12/deer-meat-for-homeless-shooters-fishers-and-farmers-party-mp-hunters-hungry
First off we're not America, we take care of our citizens. We don't need to feed them carcasses killed by some rando. Leave that RFK Jr crap away.
Secondly, fuck no.
We're definitely doing far better than the US, and while there's room for improvement on taking care of our citizens, not even the US needs to feed them carcasses killed by volunteer hunters. Easily preventable food wastage alone can solve shortages, overproduction is the status quo.
Agreed, fuck no.
I’m not saying that either are good. (Edit: I am absolutely not pro-NRA or any conservative party btw.) I’m simply remarking that the thing is happening.
So, they're a "pest", your word, and overpopulated, which leads to disease and other hell for these animals. And you object to hunting them and donating the meat? Or was this just a "fuck America" comment?
I object to allowing randoms to hunt them and donate the meat.
if the government wants to setup some sort of department to hunt them, assess the safety of the meat, and re-sell it on to shops I would be fine with that.
Why would we involve the government when there are plenty of people who will do it for free? Sounds like a solid win-win to me. Here in America, we're trying to figure out how to do this with wild pigs. (Apparently not very tasty unless certain conditions are met.)
I can see the safety angle, but I promise you, hunters are far wiser about safe meat than your local grocer.
