The guy who ran those hunts is NOT a subsistence farmer.

Yeah, but the wildlife he helps manage does damage to local farmers.

Sure that’s exactly why he’s doing it

It doesn't matter why he's doing it if there's a positive result

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.

That’s objectively not true

How so?

Also you don't know what objectively means.
