many countries in this region have no enforceable protections for animals at all. hunters in america know this well enough. they fly over and kill pretty much whatever they want, and then sell the meat to a local fence.
the jesus types view the idea that humans can do harm to the environment as blasphemy, because it implies that god is not in complete control of nature. i’ve never met a hunter that wasn’t an uneducated belligerent dick.
