Kenya banned elephant hunting in 1977

Thanks for the info. I wrongly told SMGFan, in another thread on this topic, that Kenya had the controlled hunting and an increase elephant population

There might have been reason to be alarmed about low elephant populations then. Less so now.

As long as elephant hunting is humane, no having to track wounded elephants, I agree it needs a rethink.

Lucky for lib rats, they are NEVER held accountable for their unintended consequences...

I thought the only things that went up in Zimbabwe were famine and inflation.

[Chipper]

Let people hunt the poachers.

[smokingfrog]

The problem with that is Zimbabwe is one of the most corrupt governments in Africa. Where does all the trophy hunting money really go?

[TexasKamaAina]

I accept the argument and tolerate the practice if that’s what it takes to preserve the species. But I still think getting enjoyment from killing exotic animals is less than admirable. Its not something I’d encourage my sons to do.
