Best Answer

Animals that are "extinct" cannot be hunted. When they are extinct, that means there are none of them living.

---------

"Should supposedly extinct birds be hunted for, in an effort to rediscover them?"

Yes, since the rediscovery of a supposedly extinct bird brings it back into play, possibly enriching our lives, and ensuring its part in the general ecology of the world.

---------
If you mean "Should endangered birds be hunted?" - obviously not, but sometimes the control over their habitats is not absolute. Humans who live in the same areas may depend on the animal for their survival or livelihood. In these cases, finding substitutes they can use is crucial, as an extinct species is not going to be available to them.

The Dodo bird is not an endangered species; it is an extinct species of bird.

So humans hunted them until their hearts' content, devoured their eggs and fed any remains to the hunting dogs. Dodo birds are extinct - period.
