Trophy hunting is the biggest incentive for most of these countries to not kill off these species. North Americans tend to come at it from a safe position because we already killed off almost all of our large hoofstock, such as the huge majority of bison and moose, and large predators, which would be (and still are) an annoyance to farmers and residents. (Although we still have a lot of conflict with the bison of Yellowstone when they roam out of park boundaries and etc..)

Sure, "eco-tourism", but a hunting safari is just way more lucrative for them than hippies with binoculars. It sucks but that's just how it is. Asking them to maintain these species, but banning them from taking economic advantage of those species, is having cake and eating too. It's just asking the people of those countries to eat poo poo because giraffes are cool (which is mega true because giraffes are awesome).

Trophy hunters give more to wildlife preservation than any other demographic. Because you can't get trophy animals without having a proper and stable ecosystem. Mind you each trophy kill is well over a few thousand dollars that went into the park directly.

It's pretty much animal martyrdom, one dies so that others can live.

I don't like agreeing with you about stuff, but yes.

The Boone & Crockett Club was all about saving these species, so they could be hunted by future generations, decades before the average American gave one millionth of a poo poo about endangered animals.

She was asked to kill an animal. She killed an animal.

This is becoming a big deal because Ricky Gervais criticized her. In related news, Ricky Gervais has gone from somewhat funny fat Englishman to insufferable cock over the last ten years or so.

Hunting for food, as in because you have no other food source, is fine.

90% of hunters who do it "for food", though, are really just doing it for sport. Having something to eat is only a secondary goal for them.

Meanwhile, you have shitheads in Wyoming who wait for a wolf to take a step outside the imaginary lines it has no concept of so they can shoot it. Ranchers and useful idiots kill them out of spite.

I live in a rural area, and have the misfortune of interacting with a lot of hunters. The overwhelming majority of them are enormous asshats.

Really depends on what you're doing. I certainly respect someone who tries to bowhunt a Cape buffalo more than someone who uses a rifle on a sleeping lion from a car. (Lions don't run from cars and by many standards are the easiest of the Africa "Big Five" to kill.)

As for why trophy hunters don't eat the lion--meat from carnivores is usually pretty gross compared to that from herbivores. But carnivores are usually more "impressive" to kill even when they're less dangerous (because of how they perceive threats).

Unless you've donated thousands of dollars specifically to saving Africa's wild animals, then trophy hunters have contributed more than you via license fees. The Cape buffalo is IUCN "Least Concern", but the trophy fee is in the thousands, which has even more purchasing power in Africa. Once you get into the hippo/lion/sable combo packages, you're talking $50K+, which largely feeds into the local economy, plus the trophy fee. It's why Nepal puts up with rich assholes climbing Everest.

In some cases, it's the hunters who are really being taken for a ride. For example, the license to hunt elephants is very expensive, even in countries that cull elephants. So they're paying tens of thousands of dollars to do someone else's job.
