One of the many problems with predator killing that gets little attention is the role the major insurance companies have had on killing prey such as moose.  What happens when moose numbers grow?  More moose getting hit by cars- and lots of expensive damage to vehicles and sometimes to the occupants.  Insurance companies hate that.

Not too many years ago the insurance companies were suggesting that they would sue the sate of Alaska if the moose numbers were not reduced especially in GMUs bisected by roads.

The other problem is the insane expense of the boondoggle program.  Do we want govt. bureaucrats spending tens of thousands of our dollars to kill a single animal?
