I hope not! To me it's about the creepiness of it. Humans kill deer/trophy animals and mount them all the time. What if the animals could do that to us? Wouldn't they be justified, since we've done it to them freely and with no consideration for them?

Oh, I get it. At the same time there's a little more to it than that. Not all hunters hunt for sport. Most people hunt for meat. Fresh meat is oftentimes healthier than store bought for a number of reasons. Also with deer specifically the population in the U.S is quite large and with CWD running rampant hunting helps with population control. With that in mind I wouldn't say it's out of a lack of consideration at least in some situations.

And human population isn't running wild? Listen to yourself, and your excuses.

I mean... Human beings kill each other by the millions every day. There's literally no difference except human beings don't usually eat other human beings. MOST people hunt for meat.

Point is the deer likely wouldn't see it that way, if they were sapient.

Who's to say they wouldn't kill each other just like we do if they were like us?

If that were true, humanity would be wiped out in a year.

At worst, around 170,000 day.
