I agree that wildlife shouldn't be "terrorized" or harassed under any circumstance. However, if they overrun an area simply scaring them off does nothing to solve the problem because they just move around and continue to breed unchecked. In these circumstances their numbers should be reduced in a humane manner and if at all possible the meat should be donated. However, sometimes the meat cannot be donated as the government has lots of rules and regulations (surprise) surrounding disposal of the meat.
