Shooting and stuffing animals was seen as "conservation" back then. It seems wild to us, but in a time before it was truly fathomable you could wipe an animal from the planet, having a stuffed specimen for study was seen as laudable.

And the more rare it was, the more information could be gained by studying it's body. Again, it seems ass backwards now, but to put it into context Mendal (the guy with the peas) lived around the same period.

Hunting invasive species is still seen as "conservation" because it helps the native and sometimes endangered species.

It very much is. And it's important but it's a consistent conversation in the hunting community they're still animals doing what animals do. There's a responsibility to harvest them as humanly as possible. I know there are many vegans who would say that's not possible in the first place, and I get it, but I think we can all agree seeing people shoot boars from helicopters is... Not quite right.
