They were hunted for these plumes and this reduced the population of the species to dangerously low levels. ( Snowy egret)

"How do we know readers won't be searching using the past participle?"We don't, but we can use a little common sense and give the reader just a little credit. It's an unlikely search term for the activity, and on that slim chance, it can be listed on the dab page (along with a wiktionary link, which is probably more likely to be useful for someone who's searching on that term because they don't know what the word means). The comparison with "farmed" doesn't work because there's no disambiguation page for that, so there's no reason not to have a basic redirect in place otherwise. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 13:13, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
It's an unlikely search term for the activity– this is just the same argument in different words. Based on the usage I've demonstrated, I think it's
common senseto assume that some readers will find a redirect to Hunting useful, either via the search bar or links from other articles. We can also
give the reader just a little creditin expecting them to be able to click through to the DAB page without much difficulty if they're really looking for one of the other topics. I don't see a significant barrier to navigation here. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 22:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
