Has anyone ever told you that it's ethical to shoot someone because otherwise, that person might suffer? Hunters are always telling us that they're actually helping deer by murdering them, because there's just so many deer, some of them might starve. It's not very convincing logic. It certainly wouldn't fly if we proposed solving human "overpopulation" through murder. But let's set aside the blatant speciesism for a moment and see whether it's even true that deer are overpopulated and if murder is the best solution if they are. Hunters materially profit off the bodies of deer. Whether or not it's in the deers' best interest to get murdered, it's definitely in the hunter's best interest to be able to exploit and murder deer [year after year](https://www.stoptheshoot.org/why-culls-don-t-work). To that end, deer populations are artificially inflated by deer breeding programs which are paid for by hunting licenses. They breed the deer and "manage" the land ([like clearcutting forests](https://www.pfwebsites.org/chapter/ottertailpforg/files/Forests.pdf), planting deer-preferred plants and requiring tenant farmers to leave a certain amount of their crops unharvested in order to feed the deer, creating the edge habitat that is preferred by deer and also outright feeding the deer) so that the populations increase so that there's always enough stock to hunt. The reality is that there are thousands of “state game farms” across the country artificially breeding animals like deer and pheasants, quail and partridges in the hundreds of thousands and releasing them into hunting ranges. In Wisconsin alone, the state currently registers 372 “deer farms,” according to the [Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.](https://datcp.wi.gov/Pages/Programs_Services/FarmRaisedDeer.aspx) And when a disease outbreak occurs on these farms, entire herds are “depopulated.” Some even claim that a substantial chunk of their funding comes directly from hunting licenses: https://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/funding/charts.html http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/aboutdnr/budget/bottom_line/budget.pdf And the amount of federal funding they get is based off of license sales, too: >The Secretary determines how much to give to each state based on a formula that takes into account both the area of the state and its number of licensed hunters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act >Matt Hogan, executive vice president of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, pointed out, “Public support for hunting and fishing is crucial for conservation efforts. State fish and wildlife agencies have been and continue to be funded in large part by the contributions of sportsmen and women through license sales and excise tax payments on hunting and fishing equipment. To put it simply, without hunters and anglers, state fish and wildlife agencies would not be able to do their job conserving and managing wildlife for all Americans to enjoy.” https://web.archive.org/web/20070615231714/http://www.responsivemanagement.com/download/news/newsrls_09_06.pdf The whole point of our agencies is to conserve enough deer *to hunt*. They don't hide that they maintain a high population *on purpose* so that there can always be hunting seasons in perpetuity. They're conserving hunting stock. They're "managing" non-human populations so we don't run out of stock. We're certainly not doing this for the benefit of the deer as sentient individuals who deserve not to suffer; we're doing this because they are completely objectified as resources for our consumption. >An optimum population of deer balances positive demands (e.g., recreational hunting and viewing) with negative demands (e.g., agricultural and ornamental plant damage, vehicle collisions, ecosystem impacts). Despite damage caused by deer, Virginia’s white-tailed deer represent a beneficial economic and social resource. https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/deer/deer-management-program In fact, "conservation" in North American is centered *entirely* on exploitation of resources, not consideration for sentient individuals nor even preservation of species, which is why game animals are bred and bolstered yet predators and other non-useful animals are murdered and driven out. https://www.fws.gov/hunting/north-american-model-of-wildlife-conservation.html >"Professor Thomas Serfass, Frostburg State University, Maryland, chairman of their department of natural resources and biology, told Thuermer: “I would describe the North American Model as incomplete.” >Hunter control depends on it being incomplete. One of the huge elements missing is contributions of federal land management agencies. “Setting land aside in the public domain in perpetuity is probably the most substantive thing we do for wildlife conservation," says the professor. >Thuermer quotes study co-author Molde as saying, “What about this public lands argument. Holy Toledo, that’s a huge subsidy to hunters.” >We, the 94 percent non-hunter public, pay for the lands and services, but are told that hunters have all the rights to destroy our wildlife. We pay — they have the only say. Seems fair to them. >The study's authors begin: “With increased awareness and interest of the general (non-consumptive) public in controversial wildlife management issues such as fur trapping, predator control, trophy hunting, coyote killing contests and wolf reintroduction, a debate is before us as to whether the general public is or should be afforded a proper voice in wildlife management decisions. >“Sportsmen favor the current system, which places a heavy emphasis on their interests through favorable composition of wildlife commissions and a continued emphasis on ungulate management. Non-human predators (wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, ravens and others) are disfavored by wildlife managers at all levels as competition for sportsmen and are treated as second-class citizens of the animal kingdom. Sportsmen suggest this bias is justified because ‘sportsmen pay for wildlife,’ a refrain heard repeatedly when these matters are discussed. Agency personnel and policy foster this belief as well.” https://madison.com/ct/columnist/patricia-randolph-s-madravenspeak-non-hunters-should-claim-rights-to/article_1eeaf0bf-8c11-5c5f-835b-30e73edc8890.html

1) [Decoding “Never Again” by Sherry F. Colb](https://mainstreetvegan.net/decoding-never-again-by-sherry-f-colb), whose family were holocaust survivors. > What people mean, then, when they say that a comparison between animal agriculture and the Holocaust must be trivializing to the latter, since they cannot be referencing the magnitude or scale of the injury, must be instead the relative insignificance of the victims of animal agriculture. People who say that the analogy necessarily trivializes the Holocaust plainly regard the nonhuman victims of the injury as trivial individuals. The complaint is “how can you compare grave injuries to beings who matter—human beings—to grave injuries to beings—non-humans—whose lives do not matter and are trivial?” I see this second type of complaint in the notion that comparing animal slaughter with the Holocaust necessarily trivializes the Holocaust, and insofar as that is the complaint, I reject it. It betrays the very lessons that one needs to learn from the Holocaust’s construction of Jews. 2) ["Can the Treatment of Animals Be Compared to the Holocaust?"](https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=33439017) by David Sztybel, the son of Holocaust survivors. Dr. David Sztybel: http://davidsztybel.info > The comparison in general, to the extent that it can be illuminated, cannot successfully be impugned and by alleging that it glosses over particular differences, is insulting, trivializing, or put forward by those who are "Nazi-like." Certainly, it would be viciously circular to assume that animal liberation is mistaken from the start, which makes a comparison offensive, and which in turn is supposed to prove that animal liberation is wrong. I conclude that if all other objections against animal liberation fail, objecting to the Holocaust comparison by itself will not indicate the case for anti-animal liberation. I submit the possibility that some people are deeply offended by the comparison because they are profoundly prejudiced against animals and in favor of human beings, and intolerant of those who hold opinions that are reflective of animal liberationist tendencies. If there were no such thing as discriminatory oppression, there never would have been a Holocaust, but neither could there be what animal liberationists refer to as *speciesism*. Far from the comparison being intrinsically objectionable, it is potentially useful and Illuminating, and may help to underline the gravity of our oppression of nonhuman animals. 3) [“Animals, My Brethren"]( http://neveragain.org.il/articles/animals-my-brethren-edgar-kupfer-koberwitz), by Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz, who wrote this while in the concentration camp at Daschau > The following pages were written in the Concentration Camp Dachau, in the midst of all kinds of cruelties. They were furtively scrawled in a hospital barrack where I stayed during my illness, in a time when Death grasped day by day after us, when we lost twelve thousand within four and a half months. > [...] I refuse to eat animals because I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings and by the death of other creatures. I refuse to do so, because I suffered so painfully myself that I can feel the pains of others by recalling my own sufferings. 4) [Georges Metanomski, a Holocaust survivor who fought in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising](http://neveragain.org.il/testimonies/jewish-survivors-and-family-members-of-the-victims-speaking-up) > When I see cages crammed with chickens from battery farms thrown on trucks lile bundles of trash, I see, with the eyes of my soul, the Umschlagplatz. When I go to a restaurant and see people devouring meat, I feel sick. I see a Holocaust on their plate. 5) Isaacs Bashevis Singer, [“Enemies, A Love Story”](https://b-ok.cc/book/6009323/f359a9) and [“The Letter Writer”](https://b-ok.cc/book/1933346/759e81) > What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka. 6) Alexandra M., full name withheld, a Holocaust survivor whose family was murdered. ["The Lesson Has Not Been Learned”](http://neveragain.org.il/articles/the-lesson-has-not-been-learned-alexandra-m) > Almost seventy years since that War – and the lesson has simply not been learned. There is not a single memorial in which there’s no mention of those innocent led “like lambs to the slaughter”. Woe is to him, though, who has the audacity to even hint that there’s anything wrong with the lambs themselves being led to slaughter. Woe is to him who compares those past persecutors and today’s; past freedom fighters with today’s. As if those led to slaughter back then were pronounced inferior “by mistake”, whereas those pronounced so today are “truly” inferior. As if one extermination isn’t the same as another, as if rescuers aren’t rescuers wherever they are. As if the calf doesn’t treasure his or her life, as if the hen doesn’t prize her freedom, as if the sow does not enjoy the company of her friends. 7) ["Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust” by Charles Patterson](https://b-ok.cc/s/eternal%20treblinka) In the forward to the book, animal rights activist and daughter of Holocaust survivors, Lucy Rosen Kaplan states: > I came to understand that the oppression of nonhumans on this Earth eclipses even the ordeal survived by my parents. 8) [Eternal Treblinka: Reactions - more survivor and family member accounts](https://web.archive.org/web/20180822000229) > Eternal Treblinka should be on every list of essential reading for an informed citizenry...for the compelling comprehensiveness of the life-and-death story it tells. --National Jewish Post & Opinion > Whether the comparison between the extermination of the Jews and our daily slaughter of millions of 'food' animals evokes agreement or outrage, you will want to read this meticulously researched and compelling treatment of a painful and controversial subject. --Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles > Exceptionally well done. I'll recommend it to many others. A cold shower for relativists cozy in their SUV's, I hope many read it and I hope many Jews, like myself, make room for the lessons within. I don't see it as a diminution of the Holocaust. Quite the opposite. --Paul Allen 9) [Mark Berkowitz (a Mengele Twin)](http://neveragain.org.il/testimonies/jewish-survivors-and-family-members-of-the-victims-speaking-up) > I dedicated my mother’s grave to the geese. My mother does not have a grave, but if she did I would dedicate it to the geese. I was a goose too. 10) [Speech from Alex Hershaft](https://youtu.be/18mZrDujOm0), and you can find several more on YouTube. [Page on Jewish Veg website](https://www.jewishveg.org/holocaust-présentation) 11) [Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer](https://b-ok.cc/book/1231044/33ab07) 12) [Holocaust Survivors Speak: Lessons From The Death Camps](https://bitesizevegan.org/ethics/holocaust-survivors-speak-lessons-from-the-death-camps)
