You brought up the attempted extinction of buffalo in the northern US continent, and compared it to modern deer hunting.

An attempted extinction that was explicitly stated by the officials who ordered it to be an attempt to starve the native population into submission or death, whichever came first.

That is not """challenging long held scientific beliefs.""" Thats you, being a racist little git, pretending that current hunting of deer which isnt associated with minority group survival and explicitly has hunting restrictions to prevent risk of damage to overall population counts is equivalent to a horrific attempt at ethnic cleansing.

I am even willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are just so damned ignorant that you had no idea that the only reason the american bison was removed from the americas was to starve the natives. Sure, why not. But if that was true, your response to double down shows this isnt about science, or learning, its about you putting feelings first and researching never.
