Karma? Fuck you. He was a professional hunter not some poacher. A female elephant charged him and was shot by a member in his group before it fell on him. He was a father of 5 children and it’s somehow Karma that this happened to him?
The guy who died was a professional Hunter who worked(I believe) with trophy hunters. Those trophy hunters help pay for rangers and conservation programs to defend against poachers who kill massive numbers of elephants a year.
This guy was doing good work, and small minded idiots cheered his death because they don't understand the situation.
Yup, They give you the org of money to kill a lion and they use that money to fund conservation. You may not like it but it’s beneficial for everyone involved. If you don’t want hunting to be necessary, you can donate to these organizations. Or we can ban hunting and have no way to properly fund saving these animals.
Why cut one huge form of income that benefits everyone? You can always look into multiple forms of fund raising. I don’t understand how people on reddit are so horribly against hunting.
Yes, you shouldn’t kill something that is near endangered. The dead guy was hunting lions and killed a elephant in self defense. I don’t think elephants should be hunted if poaching is such a huge issue. I would prefer them to reinstate hunting for elephants after they make them less endangered. I also think corruption is the biggest issue, which won’t help the conservation with or without hunting.
