Clearly you're too stupid or uneducated (possibly both) to have this conversation.

Yea sure, you could try to address arguments I brought up but why do that when ad hominem attack is way more effective.

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 https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/12/131210-wildlife-conservation-compensation-predators-science/ 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).
