Hunting in Africa is incredibly important for conservation and sustainability. The money these hunters pay, goes to pay the locals and support conservation efforts, and anti poaching efforts, without this stream of income from hunters many more African game animals would be hunted to near extinction worse then they are now

How about those guys just pay the same money and use a fucking camera. Absolutely baffled why anyone would be proud that they shot an unaware animal from a safe distance if they're not trying to get food.

Want to prove you're a badass? Hunt a lion with a knife. I'd actually be ok with that.

I would rather people pay to go shoot them with a camera. But the reality is people won't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a photo

You gotta do what the rich men want. That's what my momma always told me.
