They issue a number of hunting licenses that they think will keep certain animal populations under control. This prevents starvation in animals as well as disease that is caused by too large a population & not enough healthy food/water. With not enough food they relocate & end up in gardens & farmer's fields much more often which hurts farmers livelyhoods & drives your grocery costs up. Therefore, you, your pets & wild animals that may frequent your yard are less likely to carry & contract diseases & you can still afford groceries. The fact that most respectable hunters also eat their animal is just a bonus. By the way.. my kills go to families that can't afford food.. an extra bonus!</p></blockquote><p></p>
