I’ll give you the short version.
Most of these countries have plenty of problems. Animals were not a priority. Until they found out there was money to be made. Most, if not all these animals that you would harvest on Safari carry a trophy fee. Kill an elephant pay, oh, $50,000 dollars. If there were no money in it, there would be no animals left. Do you really think these governments actually give a crap about the animals?

“I would wager the money gained from tourists to see the lions year in and year out far outweigh one hunting license.”
You think she is the only one paying for a license? Paying trophy fees? It’s not like this was the last lion in all of Africa. Get a grip.
Hell, I give up.

And you are a jerk too!
Why are you here?
Is FREEDOM to live free a problem for you?
Is the U.S. Bill of Rights a problem for you?
FWIW-

I try. Thank you for noticing. Maybe if I had a little more patience? But I don’t. It’s on you now....Cheers!

Typically, these are not random shoots, but of “trouble” animals marked as either being taken out by the locals or sold out to big game hunters.

Actually, bows can dish out a brutal lingering death on deer. Seen this many times. Lead is usually much quicker and cleaner. I no longer hunt and this pic riled me as well, but I understand how it all works together to perpetuate the species.

You have no idea how conservation works. You have no idea how much hunters, here and abroad, contribute to the conservation of wildlife and their habitat. You also have no idea that elephants would be all but extinct in the wild except for hunters. You have no idea what hunters do for the economies here and in Africa. You have no idea, period.
Yep.

Don’t get kicked or you wont have any teeth to try it a second time.
To: Red in Blue PA
Moronic thinking?
Every wildlife biologist in the world agrees that without the funding from sportsmen there would be little wildlife conservation at all.

I suspect he has already sired a number of cubs. Most lion hunts go for mature males, which are also the more likely ones to develop a taste for people.
