It’s really all about money! Sadly nowadays the edict is that wildlife has to somehow pay for its collective existence by sacrificing some of its species to trophy hunting. Recently Zambia reintroduced trophy hunting; some would say they never really had a ban on it. Either way, it appears that the huge US trophy hunting lobby has much to do with the hunting regulations in Africa. After all, 90% of the animals killed for trophies are shot by hunters from the USA. With elephants, lion, rhino and others being worth more dead than alive in countries plagued by poverty you might say it’s understandable. However, many a poverty stricken country seems to be in dire straits because its political leaders are more about self-enrichment than the collective good. In other words they are more ‘takers’ than ‘givers’. Even in the USA decision about wildlife management are made based on what’s most profitable instead of truly doing what’s best for wild animals, birds and their habitat. nikela.org/wildlife-management-favors-hunters-ecosystems-collapse/
