WILF 47,495 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Animals rights organisations will portray him as some kind of noble Lone Ranger, fighting the good fight for all the right reasons..........if however it was lurcher owners caught taking a roe deer our own CA would be out in public condemning them in the strongest possible terms and distancing them selves from all such people. And that's why the antis are winning ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 An argument from ignorance ie is a false dichotomy. In the case of a rapidly falling population number such as turtle doves it lacks the introduction of prior plausibility. I.e. hunting may well have a very small impact on populations but one would need to consider the common sense idea that even a small impact at a critical point may well have a much bigger long term effect. In this case he reasons are multiple although reduction in food availability through changes in farming practices and the trichomonosis parasite are the likely major causes, both of which are difficult to alter. So addressing areas, such as trapping/shooting on migration, are viable and have prior plausibility ie less stress/disturbance on migration likely increasing success rates etc. Plus small populations are more heavily impacted by smaller number reductions than larger populations ie killing one hundred of a population of a million will have little impact but do the same with a population of a 1000……… As I have said, I have made no attempt to comment on this specific situation. Simply how these issues should be approached. If the above bold text is determined to be reasonable then the answer to my question of effect isn't as you suggest that hunting has a small impact. If it is, then someone hasn't been comprehensive enough in their research and when interrogated by the scientific community would be pulled up on it immediately. Can I just make it clear one more time, that I am not defending, promoting or attacking the legality of Maltese hunting. Just how I believe these issues should be approached. Sandy, your insight on this specific issue is interesting and I'd like to read more of it, it expands on what Beast said previously. It enables people to make a more informed judgement. Delving deep in my memories think i remember a paper linking trichomonosis to the demise of the passenger pigeon, hunting was blamed but would have been unlikely to be the only cause, rather the straw and donkey scenario. The turtle dove may well end up following it as a victim of the on-going anthropocene extinction, habitat destruction and disease bringing number low enough to reduce breeding viability then hunting bringing the demise.
