Is it possible the damage caused by these animals being irradiated is less impactful than the damage caused by over harvesting? That is, if the radiation is scary enough to prevent people from harvesting them.

Gives one ideas about a novel with a plot based on an insane ecoterrorist group that poisons huge stretches of the earth with radioactive isotopes in a bet it causes less damage than the humans would have.
