Im saying do a thought experiment:
Pretend velociraptors still exist, and you’re in your corner of the woods you live in. You hear an unnatural noise(one you wouldn’t expect in your hood), coming from 20’ away. Think of your reaction.
Now, same scenario as above, but you hear the noise coming from 150’ away. Think of your reaction.
Think of the reaction both in terms of type, and degree.
Then remember, to deer, anything that eats deer meat is a velociraptor. And they’re materially better than you at pinpointing exact source/distance away of a sound.
This isn’t an always or never thing, either. It’s just really easy to see a scenario like I described in previous post. Hence, I have to give grace to the OP and assume he could know that, and act accordingly.
Mostly, I think arguing what to do in regards to killing animals and bringing the word ethics or morals into it is pointless at best, and harmful at worst. I’d rather see someone say they think your idea or action is stupid. At least there’s no implications of value of a human life there.
