Still, they could have helped find more humane methods of killing, as that seems to be the main issue. How do you know they haven't already?

Let's say there was a small town where 200 people lived off by hunting pandas. They had been doing it for 400 years. And they had families to support.
If I were serious about stopping panda hunting, yes, subsidizing them while trying to shift them into some other industry, or maybe starting up a green tourism that incorporates panda watching or something is definitely an option.
If I were the top of a huge organization who's focus was to get more attention to their activities and rise more donations, no, I wouldn't think that would be a good idea. I should create a film that would illustrate panda hunting as cruel as possible and portray hunters as inhumane as possible.
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.... You are what the media define you to be."
It would help if all the hunters were foreign looking Asian men who did not speak English. I'd Incite them and have them yell at a little white girl while they were soaked red in pandas' life blood.
"Greenpeace needs to get their footage of a whale being shot, They do it every year. If you really look at it Greenpeace invests more money in advertising than they do in the actual campaign." This is again what Paul Watson himself said. If even he thinks this way, imagine how the Japanese people think of these activists.
