On the surface, it would seem that if you stop hunting, animal numbers will go up. For example, what if we stopped hunting for white-tailed deer. For sure, numbers would increase for a while. Same for other big game species. But rabbit numbers and most small game animals, would see no change simply because hunting doesn’t impact their numbers. The average life expectancy for a cottontail is less than a year, with or without hunting. And there has been lots of research showing that hunting doesn’t impact many hunted species at all. Areas with dove hunting have same dove numbers as areas without hunting. Same for many other bird and mammal species.
从表面上看，似乎有这么个逻辑——如果禁止狩猎，动物数量就能得以恢复。譬如说，如果我们停止狩猎白尾鹿，自然，鹿的数量将增加一段时间，其他大型猎物一样都有这个规律。但兔子以及多数小狩猎物种，数量将没什么变化，原因很简单，证据表明狩猎不会影响它们的数量。如棉尾兔，它们的平均预期的寿命不足一年，有或没有狩猎都不会改变这一点。出现了大量的研究显示，狩猎不会影响到众多被猎物种。如狩猎与非狩猎区的鸽子数量并无区别，正如其他许多鸟类和哺乳类动物的数量表现一样。
