If you don't need to kill animals to survive, killing animals is imbalanced violence for treats. Weaponry has gotten advanced and we've become numerous and efficient killers. If people want the cat-like thrill of precision-shot killing, they should try target practice, laser tag, or one of the thousands of FPS games out there. In the end it seems to come down to this idea of "it's not as personally significant/fun if I can't feel the kill/taste the body" outweighing both harming/slaying an animal and making yourself a killer. It's encouraged. Just doesn't sit right.
There are more than a few assholes who hunt solely for trophies (i.e. they hunt whitetail deer, but only cut off the antlers and leave the rest)
There are also probably times where a hunter will hit/kill it's target, but be unable to find it. Finding a downed bird is rather hard in extremely dense underbrush
The majority of the lead accumulation comes from the pellets in bird shot that don't hit anything. They end up mixed into the water, and birds will eat them and get them in their gizzards thinking they are pebbles.
Why are there corpses left to be scavenged!!?
Are there fucks just shooting and leaving behind the bodies like trash?

stuff them in the matrix and let them play COD MW

I mean if almost half of eagles have the poisoning, this seems to indicate a far vaster problem than originally anticipated
Yes. There are also hunters that miss their shots and lethally injure the animal but not so much that it can't run away first.
Elmer Fudd did, it’s the reason for the ONE time Bugs and Daffy teamed up against him

We keep poisoning the world.
