| 128. Wondering about long-term effects of this |
|
I've heard this bandied around before and I've always wondered if giving large uncontrolled populations of animals hormone shots is honestly more humane. What are the long-term effects of pumping a free-ranging and rapidly-reproducing population with hormones/chemicals? Being shot by a hunter is at least natural population control, especially for prey animals like deer. I'm sure being eaten by a puma or a wolf is no picnic either. In fact, repopulating areas with large predator species like mountain lions would be the best and most natural way to control the population of prey species, but not particularly humane either (at least not for the prey animal's point of view!).
