Postulating that members of a species should be shot because they otherwise destroy the environment is thin fucking ice as a human lol
I don't think you understand the meaning of that word.
Ecological Impacts of High Deer Densities
And in a simpler form https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_management
Whats the ecological impact of high human density?
"Postulate": suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief.
I do not postulate that overpopulation of deer will destroy entire environments. It's a cold hard fact which you wish to ignore.
Its not whataboutism. If you want to apply "killing is good against individuals of a species responsible for environmental destruction" then you should apply it to the biggest offender. Or be a hypocrite I guess. Your choice.
There's nothing hypocritical about it.
Two wrongs don't make a right, didn't your mommy ever teach you that?
That is literally whataboutism.
Deer population has to be managed, or entire environments will die. You won't get out of that being a fact by going "well but what about corporate pollution?!1?"
If you were accused of murder and asked to provide an alibi, you wouldn't get off by saying "well what about Jeffrey Dahmer?"
You seem to purposefully miss the point. Have fun with that I guess 🤷
