>>So it’s OK in your mind to murder someone just because they’re engaging in a completely legal activity that you don’t like?

In this case, yes - good riddance.

>>The health and genetic diversity of the herd is vastly improved by trophy hunting.

Sure it is - keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better.

Then in your case you should be glad that the same criteria isn't used for lunatics who advocate the murder of the law abiding. I suppose you want the same for the Trump brothers?

Are you one of those people who thinks “Bambi” was a documentary?

It wasn't?

Managed hunting isn’t why these animals are endangered, it’s poaching. The African countries that have the big game animals are too poor to be able to effectively protect the animals’ entire range, which leaves them susceptible to poaching.

The lion in the photo would have been selected by country’s game managers because it was old and in its decline, probably already ousted from the pride by a younger, stronger male. It would never have an opportunity to breed again.

However, the trophy fee from that one animal would pay the annual salary of a dozen or more game rangers. So by monetizing the death of that animal, the state improved the chances of survival for that species.

Managed hunting isn’t the problem, it’s the solution.

Permits are given for a reason conservation many big game starve to death and it’s not pretty it’s why deer permits are given in the states.

“The trophy thing is a leftist language.”

Go to a social with a lot of physicians attending. There are a lot of middle-aged physicians attending with trophy wives.

There are many ignorant opinions here by people that didn’t bother to learn the first thing about African safari hunting.

Look at all the human haters crawling from under the rocks and taking delight in the murder.

Not one is truly a conservative.

Pro Hunt Africa is a hunting and Eco Safari outfit in the far Northern part of South Africa.
They cater to hunters with guns or cameras. Sad day.

So it would be better for the governments to pay someone to kill these animals to keep the populations under control?
