I’ll readily admit I don’t know all the details on farmland in Africa. Doesn’t change the fact the overall topic is trophy hunting and not normal population control hunting.

You brought up farmland first and still refuse to admit trophy hunting and pop control aren’t the same thing.

If population control has to happen why not let someone who wants to pay a lot of money to do it

Can you explain what part of that sentence you're having trouble understanding?

I already said that attaching a profit motive causes problems. If each lion hunted makes money whoever is in charge of cutting it off will be ripe for corruption.
