didn’t Ducks Unlimited save a whole bunch of ducks/duck habitats by hunting?
Seems CONTROLLED hunting/eating would be better than the current system.
Not only that, but they spent their own money to purchase wetlands to preserve migratory routes from Canada to Mexico.
Sadly, the topic of elephants in today's environment is nothing but soundbite driven emotionalism. Facts don't matter, and because of that actual conservation of the species is doomed. I had some moron on FB posting about how horrible this idea of allowing trophy hunting is, and I wasted a bunch of time explaining exactly why she was full of it. I knew I wouldn't affect her mind one bit, because a reasoned argument can't fit on a bumper sticker, but hopefully someone who read it took the time to consider it.
