I understand what your saying
and I understand your point is to the greater good
but I don't buy it... that money likely went into some corrupt officials pocket..
all it proves is if you got the money you can buy/have anything
there was a time when animal populations could easily absorb hunting for sport
but now we live in a time when rare animals should never ever be killed... theres just not enough of them around cuz weve killed them all
the native American had foreseen this 0ver 100 year ago
even the animals that aren't considered rare or endangered many of them are few and far between
im surrounded by hunters and theres more hunting dogs around than people
those boys get out in the woods and they shoot anything that moves
ive seen 25lb baby bears (well under legal weight) propped up and shown off with pride out in the open... no one does shit about it
fucker like those trump punks will strip our world clean to the bone and take it all.. they can never have enough
so you gonna tell the African tribes that are starving they cant kill an animal to feed there family who is starving but trump jr is allowed cuz hes paid off some government officials
That's not how it works. Its not. I suggest you guys actually research the subject instead of arguing with feelings. It works. In some areas of doesnt due to corruption. In the areas it does work the meat goes to the local tribes along with some of the money and the rest of the money is used on conservation.
Once again. You are not paying for it. No one is. You say those animals shouldn't be killed. People kill them regardless.
If you saw a under age cub killed why not report it?
Why? Must be because we wear pants? You saved ten kids for the price of one, they were all going to die anyways but you saved ten. (Sounds pretty stupid right? So does killing animals to save them!)
Here is what they paid, "The brothers have been charged a hefty fee for every kill. The price list quotes £46,000 to hunt an endangered elephant, up to £27,000 to kill an endangered big cat". It sounds like a lot but they would need to kill quite a few animals to raise enough money to fund a task force to stop poaching across Zimbabwe and they killed two endangered animals on one hunt! How is this conservation?
As for what can be done to fund the anti poaching campaign..... why can't they hunt poachers? I bet there are plenty of sick fucks out there that would fund a poacher hunt for a lot more than the Trumps paid for the right to kill endangered animals.
Also I'm not trying to argue with you whitebb2727, I can tell you don't want to see these animals disappear either. And in all honesty I agree the Zimbabwean conservation program is trying to raise money however they can to protect what they have left but I bet every time they see a rich guy wipe out an endangered animal it sickens them. My issue isn't with them it's with the super elite that claim they are in it to save the animals because they aren't!
Straw man.
Come on dude.
Killing a kid to save ten doesn't happen and is not the same. Quit arguing with emotion.
People are going to poach those animals. Humans are disgusting and will ruin the world. You aren't paying for it. No one is.
Once again I suggest you research the subject.
Hunters have saved a lot of wildlife. The money buys land and officers to protect it.
It makes perfect sense.
How do you purpose saving the animals. Making it a law won't work. Someone has to enforce it. That takes money.
They have no other choice in the matter. Only older animals are selected and all monies and meat goes to tribes and animal protection.
that's another subject all together
the humane treatment of animals I support but using that as a justification for continuing to kill what few wild animals we have left is ass backward
should animals be treated humanely, of course they should... should our wild life continue to be decimated, of course they shouldn't
if your goal is to provide your family with healthy meat then raise your own cattle or chickens
Its not that simple.
You don't live in a hunting area and don't hunt.
Hunting is needed in the US for population control.
I have every right to hunt for food. I also raise food.
