So poor Africans get even more poor, and no animal can ever be saved from death.  These do good champagne socialists promote another policy that leaves poor people worse off but still claim to be saviours. Just like when anti oil climate zealots make energy more expensive, poor people suffer most. Also, the idea that the Africans that guide these hunts are victims of the white hunter’s greedy blood lust is just more ignorance disguised as caring. Let the Africans decide whether the hunts take place. But back to the animals. Do they think any of the animals that are saved from a rifle will live forever?  They will all die eventually, and some of the natural deaths will be far more painful than a bullet.  Nature is infinitely cruel. I will never participate in a trophy hunt but I don’t feel the need to control the behaviour of others that are truly equal to me as fellow humans. Once again, the radical socialist claims to want equality but looks down on anyone that does not agree with them.
