By this logic, is it fair game to eat people who eat animals?

Only humans that eat other humans.

Because hunting is necessary to keep the balance of species in the wilderness in check. That's why you cannot shoot everything at any time.

For example, wild boars are a huge problem because they tend to absolutely demolish their environment and then move to a different spot, rinse and repeat. Thus, you have to keep their numbers down to actually protect the wilderness.

If someone shoots a bear out of season, that's illegal and you ahould report him.

Huh, interesting you can still see that comment. I was sort of drunk and being flippant and I don’t actually remember what I wrote (and I can’t see it now!).

Maybe it takes a while for a comment to be deleted on all instances. Not really sure how Lemmy works under the hood as I'm kinda new. I can still see the comment.

In any case, don't sweat about it, it wasn't something nasty. Just, yeah as you said, flippant.
