I have no sympathy for trophy hunters. Perhaps there are female trophy hunters out there too, but I suspect they are in the minority. Therefore, to me it's a slam dunk as to whether trophy hunters should continue to hunt polar bears. They are not hunting for food or for any subsistence whatsoever.

Gray Jays have long been more than willing to scarf down the offal that remains when hunters process a carcass so it is little wonder that they have adapted their foraging habits to include whatever scraps picnickers are willing to share. The bold gray-and-white birds know what humans are good for and that is as a source of food!

But the International Crane Foundation—with the support of some Thai farmers—is slowly but steadily making headway toward restoring the crane in the wild. But now, it’s farmers who are helping to save the day.

The grouse season opens on 12 August: the birds are shot by driving them over the waiting guns (to call them hunters is inappropriate, as they are merely shooters, as no hunting is involved). Banning grouse shooting would be very bad news for a host of birds, many of which are red-data species that are both threatened and declining.
