Dr. Samuel Shephard, a professor of environmental sciences at Ava Maria University in Florida joins Robbie to discuss a paper he wrote in Nature Sustainability, one of the top publications in the science space, titled “Recreational Killing Of Wild Animals Can Foster Environmental Stewardship”. Sounds absolutely crazy that by hunting, killing, and being a part of nature you are possibly a better environmental steward - something that we have been preaching for quite some time. Dr. Shephard goes into the ‘why’ behind his paper, and how he and his co-authors came to the conclusions they did.
