 ===== Introduction =====
-Let me get straight to the point – wildlife management using lethal methods such as culling or killing is not just unethical and unnecessary, it is scientifically proven to be inefficient in almost all cases, in particular long-term. However, despite this common knowledge, governments, farmers, hunters, gamekeepers, pest controllers and many conservationists will almost exclusively suggest lethal methods of wildlife control as the most effective solution in wildlife conservation, wildlife management and to address any wildlife related problem. Scientific evidence suggesting the opposite will be commonly ignored, wrongly interpreted, or used out of context. There are many known factors, which influence public opinion and behaviour, but also common and widely accepted management practices. First we will highlight some of the more common problems and misperceptions, as this kind of background information may prove useful for the general understanding, before we will explore examples of lethal wildlife management and their consequences.

 Virtually every wild species on the planet will react and respond to lethal controls in the same way that birds do. Hunting or culling will almost always result in a short term decrease of population numbers, which is usually being followed by a marked population increase above and beyond pre-cull figures. This has been proven for many species, and not just for pigeons, foxes, deer or boar. Culling does almost always result in an increased spread of infectious diseases, as scientifically proven for foxes and badgers.
 Besides these scientific facts, culling or killing sentient beings is unethical and immoral! Culling and hunting in any form or shape, but in particular under the disguise of wildlife management or environmental protection is not needed. It does not work, and it does make things worse. Any wild animal related ‘problem’ can always be resolved by using humane and non-lethal control options.
