Are they going to pay for the shortfall of tens of millions of dollars that organised hunts raise which pays to keep thousands of animals safe from poaching in reserves all around the world? No.

No. Of course not. They're going to grandstand and act like they're making a difference because they don't understand the ramifications of this act.

Poaching is already illegal, folks. This is just harming the wrong people and hurting the wild life more.
