Where did that happen do you have a link?
Hunting is highly regulated in Africa you have to pay huge amounts of money to get permits to shoot these animals or you could be thrown in jail or get shot dead by a ranger they do shoot poachers.
Since hunting these animals is legal in Africa if you purchase all the permits if you don't like it should you blame the person who is doing something that is 100% legal or blame the governments that allow and regulate it?
I think we should allow wealthy foreigners to come here and pay to shoot crocodiles they aren't endangered we could give Aborigines employment as guides and make money of it instead of paying people to trap problem crocs.
Well said Baron'
Regulated Hunting is justified - especially with 'Pest' species.
But I don't see Giraffe, Elephant, Rhino as 'pest' species.
It is mostly just a 'financial' avenue the Govt is allowing.
The prices these rich tossers pay is quite a lot, to go shooting 'Big Game'.
Remember, it was Hunters that saved a species of Orynx (spell?) from just a handful - transported them to Texas and bred them back to 20,000 in number for 'Hunting'.
Sure - its a rare exception.
But the best Hunting to be done in Africa is to shoot Poachers!
Sadly, the majority of African species will become EXTINCT - not just from Hunting or Poaching, but from an ever increasing population growth and urbanisation. Nothing much left in Zimbabwe to eat as all species have been basically wiped out and other nations are much the same.
Africans couldn't care less about providing 'Reserves' for Animals just so White People can do 'safari adventure tours' ...especially when it was White people who began the decimation of many species both in Africa and around the World for both Hunting and Commercial opportunities.
There are no Big Tusker Elephants left - all gone!
Rhinos will be gone soon.
As will most of the 'dangerous' species like Lions.
Maybe in Cages (Zoos) they will just kick along like a vapour.
But face it - the world is stuffed.
Humanity has ruined it.
And the only hope is for 'New Planets' to be found (and exploited in much the same way) to alleviate the growing over-population (already too over-populated) and over-indulgence of consumerism.
Maybe if all the cities with yellow people were built under-ground like 'Ant-nests', it might free up the lands for the Blacks to keep farming?
