one possibility that came to mind would be to make it so that killing
animals before they hit "adulthood" would not reap benefits for the player.
That would at least (hopefully) stop the animals species as a whole dieing
out.
I would hate to make animals invulnerable to player attack until a certain
age since that is not realistic but perhaps by not giving rewards for kills
(or even a small penalty) then this would encourage people not to halm
them. Of course I could be giving far too much credit to the population as
a whole :)
