Harvesting Animals?

 What? A recent article that tells about a rare, new bear cross between the Grizzly and Polar Bear, speaks of not being able to "harvest" one of this kind of bear seen in the north. I had a hard time believing this "scientific report" I was reading. The glib word used: "harvest", seems a pretty term for "killing". Since these are very  rare bears and their DNA is needed, the science reporter writes that they are killed and taken or "harvested" for study. There are sadly very few of them to "study". The photo shows samples of the same bears  proudly mounted and stuffed on display somewhere.  A couple of similarly stuffed elks look on in the background. Sometimes, I wonder about being a human being with our peculiar need to kill things to study them. But, then again, I am often glad that I have not, like the animals, been shot and put on display for all to gawk at in some museum. As you can gather, I am not in favour of Science, whatever that is, that kills to study, and therefore prefer to look at films of our beautiful live creatures rather than see them stiffened in a plastic viewing window somewhere. I am also against, while I rant, at those who latch collars on creatures in the name of study. How natural is it for a poor old wolf to run around with a big collar hanging off its neck? I would much prefer that wildlife be left alone. It is struggle enough for them with burgeoning hoards of developers out there,  thrashing about trying to find yet another place to slap some money-maker up to call it a "haven for nature lovers". Nature lovers don't approve of, in any way,  scientists, so called, who chase in helicopters, terrified animals running to get away from the mechanical loud enemy in the sky, one with iron feathers. Of course, we want to learn how to protect and further animal life on this delicate planet that is in it decline, but is this the way to do it? Kill and pursue and heavily collar and set up cameras on the animals in constant surveilance where it has absolutely no privacy whatsoever? This kind of thing embarrasses me as a sensible human being who cares about our Earth.
