Less than 10 percent of that 500 million goes to conservation. Do the math Eddie.
""What happens in practice, most of the time, that money goes straight to corrupt government officials or outfitters and doesn’t actually wind up back in hands of local community where hunting goes on, and they then aren't incentivized to protect wildlife and conservation areas," he said."

Bob it's maddening arguing with the Ignorati but keep up the good fight of speaking truth to power.

It's a blood sport, takes the biggest and the best and then they leave, does nothing for long-term sustainability for the locals and what happens when most of the animals are gone.

None of these African Countries allow Succulent Trophy Hunters to go in and take any plants they want.
Their wouldn't be any plants left if they did, just like Texas.
They all forbid it, unless it's for scientific purposes or conservation.

Akin to all the fools who were bawling over spotted owls and clear cutting, and down the road it was discovered that those owls LOVE those clear cuts to hunt in. They nest near them to teach their young.
Curious ...what's the source for this info?

I ask, Ron, because long ago I looked up your claim and found nothing.

As it turns out, that's partly true. But I'm still genuinely curious about your claim.

I prefer a shoot-to-kill policy against poachers. No civil rights. No due process. If you're caught with big game weapons, in big game territory, without proper permits, you're shot. Executed. Case closed.
I hear it's an effective policy.

That was no ape, that was Ron delivering a presentation on the critical role of hunters in conservation of African big game.

I still can't believe Dolph Lundgren dropped the rifle twice.

"It is UNDERSTANDING that I call for here"
I understand that trophy hunters are POS, and that anyone involved in that industry, including basement living taxidermists, are also pos. why you think that stuffing birds, fish and mammals makes you an authority on anything is laughable.
Now that we have a mutual understanding, gfys.

Ron, I post on other threads too, but its hard to pass up the idiotic bs you constantly write. For example, this thread; A failed taxidermist advising everyone about conservation. Killing for sport and stuffing it ain't conservation dumbass.
How about I stop posting if you stop posting?
