What are the main arguments for and against the commercial hunting of chigüiros in Colombia?

Proponents, including researchers from the National University, argue that controlled hunting (5-10% of the population) is sustainable, mimicking natural population fluctuations due to droughts, and would regulate illegal hunting, aligning with the Biodiversity Convention. Opponents, like Senator Andrea Padilla, raise ethical concerns and prioritize habitat preservation and disease prevention, questioning the government's capacity for environmental enforcement.
