Elephants charge at hunters after they shoot a member of the herd

[IceTrayDaGang]

I think most of the time they are run by conservationists.

They allow a certain amount to be hunted for money and the rest looked after from poachers.

Without money they can't defend from poachers.

even if you are a big game hunter, why go for extinct or protected animals?? that's just wrong.

there's plenty big animals in the US thst they can hunt such as moose, bears, etc.

How can you hunt extinct animals? They're extinct!

If they didn't allow hunting in some parts of Africa they couldn't afford to preserve them or protect them from poachers.

I'm not saying it's right but it's seen as the lesser of 2 evils.

let me rephrase what i said.. animals that are consider "endanger" species. thought it was clear enough but guess not.

yeah, they allow it because mofos are willing to pay!!

poachers are gonna come kill the animals anyways so might as well offer trophy hunters a chance to come kill these animals in exchange for money. that doesnt mean its right.

but i bet if they have the funds to run these "protected" area year round, do you think they'll still let trophy hunters come and kill these animals?

so basically they just want money lol.

they let trophy hunters come and kill these animals for a "fee" so that they can continue to protect these animals from poachers? lol ...

in other words, the animals are gonna get killed regardless so just give us some money and we'll look the other way.

The responsible hunters that pay to hunt these animals are literally helping save the majority, and funding anti poaching efforts. If a man owns that land and sells these legal hunts he'll have an incentive to keep the elephants on his land protected. He'll use that money to protect and grow the herds so he can continue to sell hunts. If hunters didn't pay the way poachers would decimate the unprotected herds and the man would sell his land to development taking away their habitat. It's not a pretty system to some, but it's saving certain animal species.

responsible hunters lol. how about they stop killing these animals if they wanna "help". they are not saving these animals, what they are doing is killing them slowly by doing this. how are they helping out if they are also killing these animals? lol

They do. With the help of funds received from legal hunts.
