They say that hunting helps control wildlife populations, benefits ecosystems, and creates a stronger connection to the natural world. During a podcast episode with Russell Brand, Rogan went into detail about it.
You are only hunting these mature animals that have already passed on their genes. If you are killing these things, it’s not like they’re gonna live forever. They live a short life with a very violent death. What you are doing is essentially dipping your toes into the natural world.
