    Wouldn’t a hunting license be closer to a license to kill? Some fishing licenses have catch are release for some fish.

        I haven’t been to a state that didn’t have take or bag limits for fish. So it’s only a license to kill a certain number of certain types of fish.

            True, but they generally are not tasty, require special preparation to make them tasty, or are just annoying to process. It always feels like a waste to cull and chuck, even if it is invasive.

      Catch and release is even more evil. You are just toying with the marine life at that point for one’s own enjoyment.

    A medical license too (although some specialize in roles that have more / less of the killing)

    It also allows you to advise others on how to kill specific entities, or to sign off on tools used for intense killing (prescriptions)

      True, if you count virus and bacteria then doctors are probably mass murders.

        If you’re working in a microbiology lab, you’ll regularly use an autoclave and ethanol to kill microbes. Occasionally, you’ll even need to dispose of old cultivations by autoclaving them. That could be something like 10^7 cfu/ml*1000 ml = 10^10 living cells brutally roasted to death.
