Where did you get this information from?
Are you just guessing based on previous f&w assertions or have you been able to get f&w to release the concern for the current proposal. ...?
Please do not promote conjecture as fact...
Last time around f&w started their proposal claiming a proven concern of hunting induced genetic selection.... which they backed away from and resorted to the low ram population claim.... which was potentially only valid for two of the ten sheep management areas.
