Description: There is belief in the hunting industry space that we do not have a cogent argument to defend the "ethical killing" of animals. How can we defend that killing animals is ok? Well there is one guy who has taken it upon himself as a mission to figure that out. Robbie is joined by Dr. Ben Allen, a conservation scientist in Australia working in wildlife management and living the dream - going camping, fishing, hunting and predator controlling for a day job. He is also the lead author in a number of articles tied to ethical arguments around intentional animal killing. The papers that he has written will make your head spin,  Listen in and understand Ben’s rationale around the ethical killing of animals.  Do you have questions we can answer?
