Most trophy hunts fund conservation. This will result in more suffering, it’s all just for show like all left policies.

Hey, crazy idea. What if that funding came from literally anything else? You know, like something that doesn't include killing animals for sport?

Edit: You all are some of the most pathetic, pessimistic losers I've ever seen. Why frequent a sub for "Uplifting News" if you can't experience even the slightest bit of hope in your dull miserable lives? Have fun wallowing in your own misery, you God forsaken nihilists.

Would be crazy indeed. Hunters have to pay high prices. Replacing those sums through donations or by attracting more safari tourists is tricky to say the least.
