its cuddly looking, so bleeding hearts ignore ecological bases for decisions.
The same crap gets in the USA press about culls of feral animals in Australia. Particularly where culling of horses or kangaroos is involved.
[exaggeration, but pointed] Last I read about it, admittedly a few years ago, the "save the poor darling kangaroos" campaign had enough donated funds to pay off the debt of the state of Queensland. [/exaggeration]
Bah and Humbug.

VERNON, N.J. (Reuters) - More than 200 bears have been killed so far in New Jersey's controversial black bear hunt, its first in 33 years, but angry opponents of the hunt point to the public death of one cub as a rallying point for protest.
Rallies, petitioning, a vigil at the governor's mansion and various court actions failed to stop New Jersey from opening a six-day hunt Monday to control a bear population it says has grown aggressive and threatens public safety.
The total number of bears killed stood at 221 at the midway point of the hunt, officials said Thursday.
But a wounded cub that staggered out of the woods and died alongside busy Route 23 in Vernon, with motorists and bystanders sadly looking on during Tuesday's rush hour, has galvanized the opposition.
