Trump admin. to reverse ban on elephant trophies from Africa
Gee, I wonder whose idea that was?
What is it with Republicans and this urge to kill? Is it part of being a conservative?
Regulated Trophy hunting is probably the best chance to save these species.
When you can get some photographer to cough up $50k to $300k to take a picture, come back and talk.
How is that? Explain, I can see deer hunting, but safari hunting, please explain.
They charge these guys tons of money and choose which animals they can shoot. They choose older ones past breeding age. So the $$ then gets used to protect the remaining animals in a given preserve area.
When you auction these permits off they can score tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That is such a bullish!t lie.
I just watched a report that said in the half dozen countries in Africa that allow that kind of killing there is less than 20 thousand elephants left when 40 years ago there were over 400 thousand. They are being murdered faster than they can reproduce.
White wingers will believe anything if it’s what they want to hear.
