    Does hunting elephants help conserve the species? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and hunting advocates say that hunting big animals brings in money that countries use for conservation. http://abcn.ws/2hHrVYs pic.twitter.com/7LrQl2n22r

        It's NOT true. I've been to Africa and spent two weeks with a trained, knowledgeable guide of the African bush. We had many convos. Zinke is LYING. This is propaganda. You know who DOES make a lot of money on these killing "safaris"? The companies paid to take rich ppl to Africa.

        These men and women, most of them very wealthy, pay American companies tens of thousands of dollars to go into the bush for two weeks and kill big game. Making it legal to import these trophies encourages poaching by poor Africans looking to get themselves out of poverty.

        In South Africa, it is sometimes even government officials, with access to helicopters, who fly over protected areas and shoot animals, like rhinos or elephants, from the air, before cutting off their tusks and horns to sell.

        Many South Africans live in poverty. What is even more exploitative, the officials w/helicopter access will recruit the impoverished, drop them down into the bush w/weapons&tell them to get a rhino horn. If they aren't caught, they are paid a fraction of what the officials earn.

        If caught? It's not the officials who will pay the price.

        Soon it will be nothing left. Leave these magnificent animals alone. If you fought a elephant with your bare hands and win ok. But shooting it from afar is a coward's moved to me

        I'd suggest people please read this NatGeo article debunking the claims that killing elephants "conserves" them.https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151715-conservation-trophy-hunting-elephants-tusks-poaching-zimbabwe-namibia/ …

        This report is sickening. If elephants were as abundant as deer, that MIGHT be a thing. However, they are not AND they're taken as trophies, not for food. It's pleasure hunting for the rich.

        Even if this were true (which it's not), there are other, better ways to fund conservation than by encouraging killing just for the fun of it. I'm not against hunting for food or population control, but trophy hunting endangered animals is wrong.
