The main factor I seeon the internet is one can eat an elk. But one doesn't eat a wolf. The wolves eat elk. And reduce the populations a lot, Human meat hunters get upset. Want them wiped out again.

Of course uncontrolled predator numbers are a conservation problem.

However all that is irrelevant as I was referring to two aholes proudly sitting over a tiger mother and two immature cubs they'd killed.

And as for changed attitudes over time BS, I've also pointed out Corbett's attitude to cub killing. He does talk about it when he killec a Maneaters mother and her cub(s). And spends effort to explain the cub killing may have been necessary

I'll readily shoot fox cubs. They are a pest, a great killervof native species plus lambs, chickens etc. Very numerous. Not likely under current circumstances to be shot out. Biological controls will probably do it one day.

Foxes are pests. But I like them. Smart game and good to hunt. Soon we will be shooting them in drives to reduce numbers on farms. Unfortunately thevfurd are not good, but shot this time of the year when the younger ones are out before they wisen up.

Now I once mentioned to a visiting German the shooting of Fox cubs. And he said "No!!!!". He was an ignorant pig. Refused to see anything as acceptable elsewhere other than his attitudes from his own country. Foxes might be much rarer in Europe. Hunting in Sweden a hunter got quite excited to shoot a fox. Numbers are much lesser, therefore it's seen as a negative to shoot fox cubs.

Fox cubs vs tiger cubs? Neither are trophies to sit "proudly" over, especially the tiger. An apex predator.
