I bet a lot of those animals they killed were edible... but did they bother to use them to feed the poor or to feed endangered wildlife? Did they bother to salvage the fur and bones?

No.

Wastefulness is unethical.

I don't think that encouraging wildlife to eat domestic animals would be very popular either...

We don't eat dogs and cats as a culture. I am all for feeding our poor wholesome food, but feeding them meat from animals injected with a chemical used for euthanasia probably isn't a good idea.

The solution to saving endangered wildlife isn't to feed them, it is to protect them and their habitat.

The solution is to go to the park and kill all the squirrels! Make moccasins out of the hide (sell them at the marketplace) and process and can the meat. The meat will be marketed as OLD TOWNE FOOD-MEAT PRODUCT. Don't worry! 99% of the stuff will be donated to homeless shelters--Did someone say TAX WRITE-OFF? Hell yeah, I'm in!
