Proceeds from the auction would be used for WILD ANIMAL PROTECTION, the report said. What the...........!

Quite a common practice in many places. In Africa, for example, income from hunting licenses sold to foreigners goes to pay for anti-poaching teams, because poachers are the real threat to wildlife, not licensed hunters.

Here in the US, hunting license proceeds pay for game wardens that enforce hunting restrictions, which is another form of animal protection.
