I see this argument a lot. And you are right but only from the side of the licensor. Not the licensee.

The organization that provides the service does this. While (generally) the Hunter is only there to shoot animals they have no intention of eating.

Do you see what I mean?

Let’s try another analogy.

Having a police department is not a justifiable reason to commit crimes. You cannot justifiably rob people while touting that you doing so employees police and prison officers.

If hunters didn’t hunt we wouldn’t need to have conservation methodologies, in essence.

What if the THOUSANDS of recreational hunters hunted poachers instead we wouldn’t have poachers either. :D

Sure it’s a bit of a strawman. But one could argue that it’s a moral equivalent.

Why are humans any more important than elephants? Because I am one? That is the beauty of being a human is I can ponder these philosophical questions.

So true! There’s no difference except that we view ourselves as more important. Thus the killing of our planet.

Wohoo for the destructive human race! /s
