Commercial hunters can only exist where there are vast stocks of wild game. There are very few places left on earth that have game populations to support commercial hunters. Australia is one such place.

“Harvesting” polar bears?
Killing elephants for their tusks?
Sorry, I find nothing to admire.

Wild game and feral game...
Wild game includes red and grey kangaroos and salt water crocodiles.
Feral game include water buffalo and camels.
Yes, camels!
But no profit in feral cats, foxes and rabbits.

I agree. Leave these types of “hunting” for the past.

The elephants were all killed over 100 years ago when over hunting and poaching wasn’t a problem.

#1:
There are very few places left on earth that have game populations to support commercial hunters. In North America, White Tails should be opened for commercial hunting. Lord knows there are more than enough.

Adept hunters have been admired for all of man’s history. It is only in the last 100 years, in an age of hyper abundance and rapidly expanding human populaitons, that hunters have been villified.

How about pythons in the Everglades? Kill every last one of them and smash their eggs.

It served a function a few hundred years ago I guess.
Pathetic now. Hunting for food, of course, and possibly for dangerous predators, but just to kill a magnificent animal? Sick. I like guns as much as anyone, but shooting a lion or an elephant or some other beautiful animal that isn’t overpopulated like whitetail, just to get your kicks? disgusting.

Aren’t there a few commercial hunters of feral dogs in Australia? I don’t know if much of a living can be made on just the bounties.

There are some professional dog hunters in Australia. There are others professional hunters to help keep down populations of pest animals.
I do not think of them as “commercial hunters” because they are not selling the products of the hunt.
But, they are professional hunters and some of them make a living at it.

It’s kind of amusing how people who get their protein intake from the grocery store, look down on people who, far from the comforts of civilization and timely emergency medical care, have to stalk, kill and field dress their prey.

Meh. I’d say allow it, but due to their rarity, manage it with great vigilance.

The article is about killing excess kangaroos in Australia. I wish they’d do the same to mustangs overgrazing the western US. And while I have no desire to hunt deer, the folks I know who do EAT them.
Trophy hunting isn’t something I’d ever want to do, but the economics can give a local population a reason to CONSERVE animals that would otherwise be killed off as competition to their livestock.
