Yea the money went to build a fence. To keep poachers out not necessarily the animals in. A border fence. And there are plenty of lions. So I’m sure they will breed just fine. As far as the “poor”, you would probably ask all the villagers who work as guides and trackers. Work in the hunting camps. Ask the villagers who are provided food from these hunts, and on and on.
And maybe I missed something but what “names” did I call you?
Also, these animals are not on a “ranch”. I know it’s fashionable to disparage Big Game hunting as “canned” if that’s what you are implying. It’s not. These animals are free range. Do you know what the “Big Four” are? Lions, Elephant, Leopard and Cape Buffalo. Know what they have in common. They will Kill You! And eat you if they get the chance. All except the Buffalo. They’ll just stomp you into little tiny pieces. So, yea, that’s part of the thrill, stalking an animal that if something goes wrong you are dead.
Also, kill it to preserve it is standard Conservation practice, not just in Africa. Really.
They will Kill You! And eat you if they get the chance.
Oh, the irony.
