Some invasive animals need to be removed from certain areas. Coyotes, which are invasive to Alabama, kill and eat probably half of the newborn fawns on our land, drastically decreasing the deer population. Feral pigs, which are also invasive, dig up the land looking for food. With no natural predators, these animals reproduce rapidly. Hunters have to do the job of the predators which are not present in our ecosystem. I do not believe in killing birds, especially pretty ones like cardinals. As for killing small animals like squirrels, there are many people in our area that will happily accept what we kill and don't eat. My point is, no animal should be killed purely for sport, but if you eat it, or it is not even supposed to be there in the first place, then that justifies the animal's killing.
