Eh, there are times for it. Consider hunting invasive species harming the local ecosystem. I’m not saying that was what this guy was doing but if someone wants to go down to the Everglades and hunt Burmese pythons and argintine tegus I’m all for it.

It sucks that the hunted invasive animals have to die through no fault of their own, but it would be even worse for the native animals to go extinct by not hunting the invasives.

The feathers would be less dense so their center of mass would also be further away from the person holding them horizontally (unless they were hoisted straight up over the holder) and thus require more torque to keep from toppling over.

But also being less dense but the same mass the feathers would displace more air and thus have more buoyant force on them, so even though they will be no less massive they would apply less downward force.

So I think the conclusion is that for steel and feathers of equal mass the feathers would be less heavy but require more strength to carry.

Tamsyn Muir comes to mind for her excellent locked tomb series

I don’t know who any of these guys are
