True, that's an Eternal tweet. Sometimes I must interject narrower slices of humanity though.

Doesn't matter what you conclude with values. The reality remains - in the current world, if you wish for species conservation in corruption-ridden African countries, trophy hunting is kind of the ONLY way. So, either replace it or keep quiet.

Of course you COULD say that...your values are so paramount, that you're willing to see species extinctions and more poaching just so no one could "take pleasure in killing"

I am not pro trophy hunting but any human > any animal.
-
Don't have to go philosophical at all. Trophy hunting in Africa currently is largely responsible for species conservation efforts. Ridiculous $$ have been raised, replenishing budgets of nature parks and keeping poachers at bay.
-
ah, so rich people pay a lot of money so they can hunt an animal and the people there use that money to save the other animals? didnt know that.
-
Yes precisely. Just like most journalism, reams of ink have been spilled without informing outrage mobs of this basic fact. Without modern trophy hunting, I doubt if several species in Africa would even remain.

wouldnt surprise me. as for the journo class it has essentially become a blackmailing mob, constantly trying to emotionally blackmail the average joe over dumb stuff they know shit or little about. 'raising awareness' they call it.

Yeah and for trophy hunting it's become a huge menace. Remember 'Cecil the Lion'?
-
yes, I do. it was a huge story
-
People pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to hunt ONE lion, which pays for an entire staff for many months at a time keeping poachers away. Simply deterring hunting by a few people per year can be devastating.
