Wut über £ 116.000 Trophäenjagdurlaub für Touristen, um Leoparden zu schießen

As much as this stuff sucks and I hate the people who do this, this is one of the few ways nature reserves can make money

If some disgusting twat wants to waste his money doing this then its ok as long as it pays for wildlife preservation

I wish we could get more of that anger over British wildlife decline People will fume over the plight of large charismatic mammals, some of which aren’t even endangered, and then go home and have no idea that there’s a whole bunch of species in their own country that are crying out for help. But said species aren’t large fluffy mammals so nobody gives a shit about them.

If the trophy hunting is happening in Southern Africa, then I believe that is very much okay.
Namibia, Botswana and South Africa have a strong track record of using the money collected from trophy hunting in both wildlife conservation and community development. Indeed, Botswana is now suffering from an overpopulation of Elephants.

When it comes to lions and leopards, they often target elderly cats who would have died from predation by Hyena packs anyway or Lions from some of those breeding farms that ended up not growing up right(which is a whole other issue).

I hate it when people feign outrage over trophy hunting when in reality, the places where trophy hunting bans are in place like Eastern Africa, illegal poachers run rampant and because tourism does not bring in enough revenue, human-wildlife conflicts are the norm and a lot of wildlife corridors are vanishing at a rapid pace.

The same people who will cry that Leopards and Lions are being killed by trophy hunters are often doing so based on envy, not because they desire conservation. Envy that they do not have such money to spend.
Because they are always silent when entire ecosystems are turned into farmland by locals because they do not see the value of conserving those animals over the need to eat as what is happening in Uganda today.
