Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Dodos were hunted to extinction by humans?

Yes. A water-science encyclopedia entry states the dodo was hunted into extinction by humans, and a children's reference says Dutch sailors hunted dodos for food until they went extinct. Other sources describe the dodo as driven extinct by people or over-hunting.
