    The newer monster hunter games try to explain it away as functionally conservation efforts, telling you that the ones you’re killing are throwing off the local ecosystem, but it falls pretty flat when they also pit captured ‘research specimens’ against you in the arena they built explicitly for that purpose…

      Although that is one reason why people are allowed to pay a lot of money to do big game hunts. Often times it’s an elderly male who isn’t mating, but is preventing younger males from mating.

          They’re going to do it anyway, so might as well let them do it in a way that helps and put money towards conservation efforts.
