An inconvenient truth. The industry saves more big games lives than it costs.
That said, not for me. If I was so inclined, using a paintball gun would be interesting. Have to be stalk up to them much closer, and the paintball splash on the vitals could give me the certainty that “I got him”. And, our fellow earth inhabitant could wander off to his next water hole and rinse it off.
Alas, I doubt this would catch on with that crowd.

I don't do it myself but if done correctly it is a benefit to long term conservation and has a positive impact in poor economies..
