Culling herds of all animals in managed process can increase populations.

Otherwise animals will be shut out and can be severely pressured.

Game management also teaches conservation to the local populace and why poaching or allowing herds to be pressured is bad for the environment, animal kingdom and their country.

They can make money and earn a living through game management.

Many hunts end with the hunter giving the meat to the locals and having pre-taxidermy performed.

The tag for an animal as well as the taking fee benefit the locals and the country.

Managing animal populations is also key to the country’s identity.

Just better all around for animals and humans alike.

Many big game hunters predicted this would happen if they outlawed hunting in Kenya. The Elephant isn't the only species that suffered either.

The same thing happened in various areas in the US also, the Kaibab National forest is a prime example of killing off a deer herd by starvation when hunting was stopped and the herd over populated and starved and also ruined the vegetation for many, many years.

Wildlife management for hunting is the best way to preserve animal species.

Conversely, outlawing hunting decimates animal populations. (Overpopulation, disease, starvation, etc.)

Conclusion: liberals hate hunters more than they love animals.

We all know that a regulated hunt is much better than uncontroled poaching,
but the lefty dimmo global warming elitists could never understand anything that make common sence or horse sence as McCloud used to say

I’ve worked on programs similar to this in Namibia. This article doesn’t really tell the whole story. First off Kenya has three times the population of Zimbabwe, and much higher population density and birthrate. Habitat in Kenya is also more fragmented because of development, and elephants really need room to roam. Poaching is a serious problem in a lot of places, but some more so than others because of access to markets for poached goods, as is the case in Kenya. Ultimately the challenge is to convince people that animals are worth more alive for tourism and guided, very expensive hunts, than they are dead at the hands of a poacher, who will only make a fraction of the animal’s value.

Animals who provide something for us seem to have this habit of never risking extinction. Does anyone worry about dogs, horses, or cows going extinct? Or even tending towards the less common...llamas, camels, or peacocks?

All of them provide something be it meat, milk, beauty, work, or companionship, and their survival is guaranteed as long as ours is.
