Oh, hunters. "Look, those herbivores are clearly evil. Luckily, we can propose a gun-based solution! All sustainable, of course."

Then in a few years it will be "Look, we hunted the herbivores sustainably, but their numbers keep plummeting. That's caused by those evil carnivores. Luckily, we can propose a gun-based solution!"

This is an amazing take.

I wonder if other novel ‘gun based solutions’ can be found.

The problem across most of North America and Europe is that hunters do not kill enough, and the number of hunters is declining as rural communities shrink.

I wasn't able to cram all hunting propaganda tropes into one post, but you are right that "when we kill for fun, its actually an important service we provide to society, and you should show some gratitude!!" is right up there. Bonus points for forgetting to state the problem you are supposedly solving.

Though it's refreshing to see a hunting proponent admit that humans with guns are not actually capable of solving the problem they are claiming to solve.

It's clear that we need some sort of distributed self-organizing agent-based solution that doesn't rely on humans in the loop. We could call it the Low maintenance Unsupervised Predatory Ungulate control System, or L.U.P.U.S. for short.
