Shooting rabbits and possums with a light is fun, but it's not hunting that gets your heart racing.
I think thermals make big game hunting the same - fun but not heart racing hunting. I predict that the users will loose interest in hunting over time because there is not the same buzz. I have used a borrowed one myself and been with other guys who have them. Very useful to find animals in the pre-dawn.
The current move, to long range sniping at ( and wounding ) game with moderate powered cartridges is more of an ethical question IMO than thermals
