In view of that, we start with the premise that we are not completely opposed to the killing of animals in and of itself, so the question then becomes how to manage things in a way that balances all the interests.The animals in question would still have to die. In my view—again, this is personal and not something that I have discussed with officials, which will make them twitchy—shooting the potential catch species for snares would be just as likely to end up in animal welfare issues, with animals being wounded instead of killed and going off to die elsewhere.
