Neither are they endangered and that's a huge distinction for me. In fact, in some cases, hunters have been encouraged to shoot deer because of overly large populations that would not be sustainable through the winter. While hunting isn't my cup of tea, I have no issues with this kind (deer or duck) of hunting. I'd put fishing in that category, too. And while most hunters (and fishermen) I know might not be hunting purely for food, they do eat or share the meat they do get from that sport and isn't just a head to mount on the wall. Or to boast you've done it just to do it. But going out to kill an endangered animal, exotic of otherwise, just for the … for what, exactly? … whether or not that country allows it, is just, well, horrible to me. It shows a huge lack of respect for life in general, imo.
