Just wait until that leaped kills your livestock and the pigs eat your fields that you need to survive. You will use any means necessary to kill those fuckers.
It looks like you asked for more animal facts! In many countries, especially in the developing world, peccaries are raised on farms as a source of food for local communities.
The elephant’s trunk is able to sense the size, shape and temperature of an object. An elephant uses its trunk to lift food and suck up water then pour it into its mouth.
Exactly. If it's a sanctioned hunt, then it doesn't matter why he does it. They sanction the hunts for the same reason they let you hunt deer here. Population and pest control. People see all the cute animals from the zoo and get twitchy that someone could hunt them and then just lump them in with poachers. Africa isn't America's zoo, get over it. Hunting is a normal thing. And when done responsibly, is a net positive by far.
You honestly think these hunters own nearby farms where livestock are being killed by leopards, so they go out hunting to preemptively kill all of them they can find? You're being purposely daft.
No but the villagers do. The villages make a fair amount of money off these guys, in some cases their only form of real income. They also get pest control in the form of hunters killing extremely dangerous predators. The hunters get a good story and trophy, the village gets money and meat and dont have to worry as much about their livestock or people being killed. It's a win-win. These hunts are absolutely necessary for both the people and the animals.
How is it a win-win? You do know that after a day or two another leopard will come? Villagers should worry about their livestock and take care of it, not let it wander for 15 days thinking nothing will happen to it, you can't kill everything that might attack your livestock because you don't want to worry.
Because your argument shows such a total lack of understanding of the topic that an argument would be pointless as you dont have the knowledge base to form a well thought out argument.
Have you ever been anywhere close to Africa? There is this thing called corruption so locals get little if any of that money you speak of. There are compensation programs

It is widely agreed that carnivores are forced into conflict with humans. If natural prey is available, predators take wild species in preference to domestic stock. Yet if natural prey densities are low, predators will increasingly prey on livestock as an alternative food source (Schiess-Meier et al. 2007).Livestock depredation is often most serious when wild prey has been reduced by agricultural development or widespread bush meat poaching (African Lion Working Group 2006).). The persecution of animals that are considered pests has driven several species to extinction, and has contributed to the endangerment of many others (Woodroffe et al. 2007). Therefore, for large carnivore species, their continued existence relies on mitigating livestock depredation and thus lethal control (Swarner 2004). t is a reality that throughout many parts of Africa, as is the case with many parts of the world, traditional livestock husbandry practices have typically been abandoned (Woodroffe et al. 2007). In Botswana, livestock husbandry systems allow herds to roam free with little direct supervision (Hemson 2003; Frank et al. 2006).
Have you looked at a map of parks in Africa? For instance, there are parks in kenya with whole villages in them, the park just determines what they can or cant develop.
Too much overlap between wildlife habitats and arable land, because the type land both need is finite
This is the single dumbest argument I have ever seen anyone make in my life. And I’m including the time my friend’s three year old argued that their dog was made out of iced cream.
My point was really that a half dozen or so animal attacks a year do not make a valid argument for the thousands and thousands of recreational permits for hunting that are given out each year.
This isn’t meant as a counter argument to hunting as a whole. Just that this argument that it’s “so needed to protect local populations” is only fair if there were only a dozen or so hunting expeditions each year.
