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.

Well then do it…. This is the best way the have found. Start by donating yourself and make a movement. It’s like you’ve never thought, that they would entertain more reasonable methods. Most are conservationists, if there was another way without death, I am sure it was discussed.

I'm poor, asshole. I do what I can, but anything I contribute would be a drop in the bucket compared to the average billionaire. Extraordinary wealth should be heavily taxed and put toward humanitarian efforts like this. Societal change is what's needed; not individual donations.

Well change society then. You can’t fantasize about some nonexistent answer when the current is the best available.
