Why kill them? I haven’t read the background, but presumably because they endanger some designated endangered species—spotted toads or something.
Of course, too many Elk and deer on the island isn’t good—presumably the result of protecting them before exterminating them. A reasonable amount of hunting would solve the problem—but they hate hunters. Hard to predict what these nutballs will do next—always jumping from one extreme to another.
Thought maybe because they were considered an invasive species.
They don’t like hunters so they will bring in sharpshooters?
