As for the hunting, give the animals a gun, make it fair......now you might have something for ESPN.
You obviously have little to no knowledge of how hunting wild game helps animals and animal populations far more than it hurts them. (actually it really doesn't hurt them at all.)

For an example, i'll use deer. Go talk to any wildlife biologist and he will tell you that you absolutely have to control populations of male and female deer...especially on ranches and hunting leases where the numbers are higher on smaller pieces of property (anywhere from 2000 - 60000 acres.) If you don't kill them over breeding occurs and you start to get severe inbreeding which leads to diseases and pretty gnarly deformaties. Most often on larger ranches (such as the one I have) you will have an extra "Game Management" period after the end of the regular season to just kill Doe (females). Usu\ually are target number is around 35 - 50 deer per year.
