While the hunting of game with trained birds of prey can be a controversial topic among birders , falconry was a valuable early source of information on birds, and its history, culture, and imagery continue to fascinate bird lovers, as we shall see.

The drongo perches above the flock, snatching insects that they disturb, and keeping an eye out for predators that might go unnoticed by its hunting flock-mates. The species is classified as Near Threatened for all the usual depressing reasons – pollution, drainage, hunting, and the collection of eggs and nestlings ( source ).

Russia does have its own seal hunt, but apparently they banned killings of animals under one year old. Apparently, some claim about 90 percent of Canadian sales are to Russia. I don't see what they get out of it, unless they want to impress Europe, which has already banned seal products. Excerpted from the Globe and Mail.

The plethora of approaches to the feral Cat problem is not an outcome of a diversity of great ideas; it is the ugly chimera of inappropriate compromise among biased and often poorly informed stakeholders. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing.

However, there are still instances where individuals intentionally kill birds and there are criminal prosecutions under the MBTA, though they are uncommon.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? And I submit that it poses an unacceptable risk to whooping cranes to encourage hunting of the very populations of sandhill cranes that mingle with them. Another thing to consider.

Inserts in rodent poisons that assure the public they will not kill anything but the offending rats or mice pedal the same questionable claims as those of the snake oil salesmen of bygone days.

Pink Pigeons were once found throughout Mauritius, but by the 19th century the population became fragmented and by 1986 only 12 or 16 pigeons remained, depending on your source of information, less than 12 by 1991.

The first was Lewis Binford, who noted, correctly, that if you look at actual animal bones from actual archaeological sites, you could not objectively see clear evidence that would distinguish hunting from scavenging, and if you compared these “food remains” to hyena food remains, they looked roughly the same.

The disease had killed a tourist like ourselves. Hunting, the bush meat trade, habitat loss, population increases, they all have a part to play in this story. We owe it to them, and to ourselves, to arm ourselves with good information about this, and I can recommend this book as a great place to start.

However, the above rationalization does not directly address the issue of contributing to the unnecessary killing of a conscious sentient being.
