It’s nonsense.
See for example the Danish “Operation Umbrella” where more than 1000 cases of possession of CSAM were prosecuted because a video of two fifteen year olds had been shared around on FB messenger.
Those who had received and opened it did not get punished. Those who had passed it on or requested it did.
Perfectly sensible.
As I said, I have no idea about the logistics, but I think it’s a good starting point to agree on what the impossible ideal looks like, and then see how close we can get.
I suppose in a ideal world, predator animals are kept free but separate from prey, provided with stimulation and synthetic food that keeps them healthy, and both predator and prey populations are kept in check through sterilisation or birth control.
We don’t have to solve problems the way nature “solves” them (and we usually shouldn’t).
If it makes you feel any better, a bullet is the fastest, kindest death any deer is likely to see.
But a bullet is also the fastest, kindest death many humans are likely to see, versus wasting away to hunger, cancer, Alzheimer’s or whatever. Does that make you feel any better about people getting shot?
I suppose the way cats and dogs do? I have no idea about the logistics of it all, but I think the ideal case is that no animal is killed for any reason.
I don’t think that’s a realistic goal to pursue, but I think it’s fair to say hunting isn’t the only possible alternative to prey animals being killed by predators. Maybe the most practical, but not necessarily the ideal.
I would rather they live out their days in peace, predator and prey alike. I’m sure there are other ways of handling overpopulation like sterilisation or relocation.

I feel like he kind of missed the point of the republican counterattack here.
They want Obama to come off as elitist and out of touch, so they try to spin it as him looking down on regular people who go to Cheesecake Factory.
Which requires some mental gymnastics, but that’s clearly why they ignore the Hussein part.
Should we try and get there?
Do you have any documentation for these claims about Danish law? They don’t match e.g. the rulings in the big Umbrella case from some years ago.
