Nice pig doc!
Most of what we do comes with a risk factor, and if we continue to do it then it means we accept the risk.
However, every time someone comes unstuck, then the circumstances are examined to see if the factor which caused the circumstance can be eliminated or at least minimised.
So in cars, we have seat belts, crash helmets, air bags, and literally billions spent on examining every aspect of everything to make whatever we do safer.
When we reach the point where we can honestly say that we have done everything to make the activity as safe as possible, then we have to accept the remaining risk as being just part of the equation when we decide whether we do it or not.
This is the long established procedure, but in recent events, it is not being followed.
The present problem we have is that people are being killed and there is an obvious and cheap remedy, but this remedy is not being implemented.
Instead, we are being shackled by some lame argument that the most obvious remedy will wreck the planet.
No proof has been given that it will do any damage to the planet or its conservation.
All we are given is catch phrases about 'apex predator' etc, as if this should be regarded as the trump card to prevent any futher action in the matter against so much as one of a particular species.
If it was known to be the last one on the planet, then fine, but it is clearly not.
