Lots of people are willing to pay to shoot the excess elephants. The Germans and British do not want to allow them to return to Germany and England with their trophies.
It can be a win-win. The leftwing deep-green neo-pagans are unwilling to allow it to happen.
Sounds like many of the would-be hunters don’t want to pay to shoot an elephant if they can’t take a trophy home. That’s their choice, and if the governments of England and Germany won’t allow it, that’s between the hunters and their governments.
But there’s nothing preventing Botswana from culling its own excess elephant population even if foreign hunters don’t come.
They should do like our party does to us and just disguise them as Rinos. They have fooled us for years.
