“You also have no idea that elephants would be all but extinct in the wild except for hunters.”
I have no dog in this fight but I’m curious-——what was done?
.
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?
