To make things sadder, a rare white moose, revered as a spiritual animal by the indigenous people of Nova Scotia and protected by locals, has been shot by a visiting hunter, who had the gall to pose for a photo smirking over the beautiful creature whose life he took.

Is it necessary to defend ourselves at the cost of the remaining creatures on the planet?
