Early in his career, Grinnell seemed conflicted about how to deal with predators. He supported the control of rattlesnakes and mountain lions, advocated the sustainable harvest of fur-bearing mammals, proposed experiments in game farming, and accepted that scientific management would require some limited local culling of problem species. But he thought it was wrong to poison animals or subject them to unnecessary suffering, and programs that sought to eradicate rather than control predators horrified him.
