Rich Americans will find other things to spend money on.
African countries will suffer if this hunting is socially snuffed out.
It is their prerogative to spend their money elsewhere-they can go hunt boar in Russia or one of the nearby countries, or get in on the elephant cull in India-or just go to Alaska and hunt brown/Kodiak bear if they want to go on a REAL hunt for a downright dangerous animal in the wild instead of a semi-tame and collared one in a park.
I’m fresh out of sympathy for 3d world dictatorships and people who haven’t produced anything since they learned how to grow coffee-this is the 21st century, not the 19th, and they need to engage in something other than corruption, whining and terror if they are going to live in the real world-maybe it would be a right of passage for the African countries to lose the revenue-maybe they would learn not to peddle illegal hunts-or better yet, try making some product to sell/export besides poaching for profit.
Before you say it-yes I know I’m being a hardass bitch on the subject, but that is the way I am-I don’t even think there should be any “foreign aid” from our tax dollars-that is what we give to charities for-and there are people right here who should get the help from churches and other charities before any foreign country does-I don’t give any of what little I have to any charity that sends it out of the US.
