One article states that the violence and blood that comes out of such brutal culls leaves terrible impressions on the reputation of the town (“Deer killed…”). When communities announce…

which firearm should be used for hunting has been discussed between hunters for many decades. Some of the main arguments have to do with being humane, not randomly shooting, and accidents. If the hunter wounds an animal, they can put the animal out of its misery more quickly.
