Sustainable hunting is the key, not the overal biomass. Not to speak of that if we would kill for example 1/3 of the biomass of the bugs (still pretty much left), we would be kinda fucked including the other fauna and flora.

I regularly challenge vegetarians to explain why they have no emotions taking the life of a healthy carrot but cry if a lamb is slaughtered. Both were raised for human consumption and would likely not exist if NOT for the human farmer raising them.
But unconcernedly stomping on a bug compared to shooting a giraffe for sport is not a good comparison. I'll compare them like that when they have similar population numbers. It's blood sport in exchange for money at issue, isn't it? I think that they can find a better way to make 10,000 bucks.
