Yeah, I understand the human operations part on preds & such, but for some reason it still seems very far removed from even a high powered scoped rifle shot at great distance...there's just that much less 1st hand human perspective.
Here's an admittedly weak comparison: Say I'm elk hunting and see an animal at 250 yards that I decide to shoot, an ethical shot with a scoped rifle...the elk stands upon a hillside that earlier in the day I saw a family hiking on. My 1st hand human decision making would influence me to pass on shooting that elk, as I know there is a possibility that the hikers may be nearby...also, I don't know what's over the hillside...maybe nothing, maybe a boy scout troop, maybe naked lesbians.
