Hey, a Trump thread. I miss these! Good morning, friends.

I know the Trumps are pro 2nd amendment but I do hate the photo of the boys Trump bagging the elephant. I’d like that photo not to come out but I’d bet Hillary has it.

Big game hunting is where the money comes from for wildlife conservation in Africa. If people were not willing to pay large amounts of money to hunt, many of the large African animals would likely be long gone.

Liberals can spin anything or nothing at all, it doesn’t matter.

I’m sure that she has it, it was posted here. The elephant was legal. The mature males needed to be culled from the herd. Without elephant game management control they starve to death or run amok in farmland destroying a seasons crops, homes, & fences.

Hunters for the Hungry is an international program as well as here in the states. That elephant meat can feed an entire village for a month or longer.

The money brought to rural Africa through the legal hunting of mature elephants helps to fund anti-poaching teams and preserve the land to ensure their long term survival. Poaching is relatively under control in most parts of Africa.

But human sprawl and habitat destruction is not. This is the real enemy when it comes to the preservation of natural resources and the Elephants. Money from hunters fund the preservation of the few remaining wild places on earth.
