Aerial hunting... Terrible

 Have any of you heard of aerial hunting? It is when people shoot wolves from a plane for no reason! I hate this!   I think wolves are so beautiful...

I've never heard of it, but it sounds horrible. There must be a reason...

Really? For no reason?

Some people do the same thing to wild horses called brumbies in Australia, but they have a so-called reason: they think that the horses take up too much grazing land that could be used for cattle and call them "feral pests."Frown Why do people there not care about the brumbies like people in America care about mustangs? After all, mustangs aren't better than brumbies in any way that I can think of. Don't people in Australia ever think about what happens when a foal's mother is killed? The foal starves or is killed by predators! Cry It's so sad! I am an animal lover (especially horses and ducks) and cannot stand any sort of animal abuse, and this is certainly animal abuse! Why would anyone do anything like this to any animal?

That is so cruel.  What those hunters do is just for money.  That's pretty much why there is evil in the world because of money.  People will do anything to get money, even shoot beautiful animals from planes.  How would you like it if someone started shooting at you for no apparent reason?  I think some people feel justified doing this because they feel they are getting rid of a horrible killer of both beasts and humans. That is so stupid! The only reason wolves or any other animal attacks people is because they feel threatned by the humans.  I really think the aerial hunters need to stop hunting innocent wolves and do something productive, not destructive.
