>>1728441>but survival!There was nothing survivalist about stacking mounds of rotting bison corpses just for "sport", or gunning down flocks of carrier pigeons so pie factories could make a mean profit, etc.
Almost every state has a legend about their last cougar or grizzly being hunted down for some gamesman for no other reason than because it was the last one in the area. That's not survival. That's treating the natural world like some rented whore even when you begin to see it won't last forever.
