Quote:Zimbabwe Killing 200 Lions
Where are all the wailing liberals to decry the pending killing of 200 lions in Zimbabwe?The lion cull is coming soon because hunters have disappeared in the wake the hysterical outcry against lion hunting following the death of a single lion. Now hundreds will die and all there is, is silence.
Media outlets worldwide went crazy last year when a Minnesota dentist legally hunted and killed a lion nicknamed “Cecil’ and it quickly became the battle cry against evil-white-capitalist-hunters from America. Leftists used Cecil as one of the loudest dog whistles in years to attack everything about hunting, guns (even though Cecil was killed with a bow and arrow), animal rights, capitalism and anything else they could lump in to the narrative that America is a pile of garbage. The dentist, even though he was found to have followed all the laws and killed Cecil in a legal hunting area, was pursued by protesters and was the recipient of numerous death threats. He shut down his practice and went into hiding, fearing for his life and safety of his family.
Very few people were willing to stand up and tell you the truth that killing Cecil and other big game species is actually a very good thing and can keep those populations thriving. However, you have to stop and listen to understand. You see big game animals when hunted in places like Africa have a terrific financial value and therefore are protected by the government and by local villagers who know that money they get from hunters could become schools or medical clinics or running water in areas of the poorest places on earth.The largest wildlife reserve in Zimbabwe said it may be forced to cull 200 of its lions after the predator’s population “exploded” due to hunters being scared off by international outrage over the killing of Cecil the lion last year."
Bubye Valley Conservancy, which is home to more lions than anywhere else in the south African country, said that the population of over 500 was too much for the reserve, the National Post reports.
The big cats have been decimating the population of antelopes and giraffes, and even wild dogs, cheetahs, and leopards, which have become easy prey after a dry summer left the grass short.”https://wjimam.com/zimbabwe-killing-200-lions/ Where is the outrage when black Africans cull these lions? are the leftists only outraged when wealthy white people pay obscene amounts of money to shoot these animals?
Is it racist to only object to white people paying money to shoot animals that would probably be culled anyway?
It's amusing how leftists who don't have the numbers to govern in their own countries think they can dictate to other countries on how to manage these predators.
I am not going to tell Africans how to manage their animals, if they want to fleece wealthy white people to shoot lions instead of paying rangers minimum wages to shoot them anyway then that sounds like a sensible option for people who live in the poorest parts of the world.
I think we should allow trophy hunting for our crocodiles they're not endangered it could even employ Aborigines as guides.
