the way it goes
I have seen similar issues in the U.S.
1. People feel bad about killing deer so they pass legislation severely limiting the hunt.
2. The deer (large rodents when seen up close) overtake the cities and eat gardens, knock down fences and are sometimes aggressive to humans and cause millions of dollars in damage to vehicles in collisions.
3. The same people who fought for the legislation are now unhappy that their precious gardens and lawns are being completely destroyed, soo...
4. They pass legislation authorizing their local government to hire special hunters to wipe out the deer population.
So you see that they are now in control of who kills the deer and that makes them smugly satisfied. Instead of volunteer hunters who purchase a license from the state and therefore financially support the care of our natural resources and are limited to the number of animals they harvest, they actually pay a few select, special hunters to do the same thing at tax payers expense! The old double reverse.
