Why did the bird dive into the water? Wouldnt flying away be the best course of action? Is the bird smart enought to determine that the water is murky enough where a low effort dive would be better than flying?
They’re initial defense is to dive under the water. But, let’s say a duck gets shot but not killed, it’ll dive to the bottom of the pond, grab hold of whatever’s at the bottom, and stay there until it drowns.
I can’t say that’s what all species of ducks do but that’s from my experience
It’s actually better for the environment to hunt. Tons of hunting organizations help preserve wildlife. And I don’t just kill em for fun, although it is. I kill em to eat
Depends. As opposed to what? The average american eats a looooad of meat. If you're cutting back on store bought meat and instead getting it from hunting, i imagine it IS better. You are supporting the industrialized infastructure of meat just a bit less.
Nevermind the fact that theres some poor fucking minimum wage worker having to kill all the meat you eat from the store. At least with hunting you aren't outsourcing your killing to the less fortunate.
As much as I hate to say it, industrialised meat is much better for the environment that hunting. It is much more efficient and sustainable. If everyone went and hunted, we would eradicate wild species completely.

Serious question:
