It's a fine balance, pleasing everyone. Which is why it can't ever happen. The trust, like everyone else, are under scrutiny now from so many groups, with so many varied agendas (some voiced above) that fault is certain to be found. I'd not wish the control of such a group on anyone thin skinned these days. However as long as their decisions are properly informed then the haters will have to lump it. That's how it is.
On hunting, I'd say that animals should never be killed by groups of people who have paid for a day of doing just that. I object less to killing where population control is vital, but even then, the argument for, is wearing thin in a world with wild areas shrinking so fast that few will be left at all very soon. How can deer be a problem? Because when old deer die, we have carefully removed the ground where the residents that would have cleaned away the remains could live. The Eagles and carrion eaters are just there, and so are the insects that do the rest of the work, but only just. That's why proper re wilding over thousands, not hundreds of ares is vital. We can't justify hunting if nature is rebalanced, particularly since there is just not the land left now.
I think Zoology/Biology should be compulsory at School now with a focus on explaining ecosystems and how nature works in a linked way. We have to ensure that we understand what we are doing when we re-legalise neonicotinoids as agricultural sprays for example. Send the entire ministries of agriculture and the environment to college to learn for a week or two, and FFS get rid of the Tory bloody government. Vote Green if you actually want something done about this stuff. The rest is hot air.
