There's actually a lot of good that comes from these hunts, FYI.

There is a lot of good to culling the human herd too but that is frowned upon.

Definitely not more sustainable ways to improve the availability of protein in the diet than flying in rich people and taking them hunting.

These people love to hunt/kill big game. That is the only reason they do this. They enjoy killing these animals. Also because they can and other people can't. Let the poors hunt deer and wild hogs.

All these other "side benefits" from these hunts are just justifications they come up with to try to make themselves look better and continue doing this.

Read the first couple of paragraphs. Antelope, elephant. Similar benefits. Shouldn't cheer for someone's death over legal hunting.

I'm willing to bet these big game hunters know there's a chance at death and still sign up for it. If they are ok putting themselves out there knowing they could die, who cares if people shrug their shoulders when it happens?

I for one trust that there is no corruption involved when a foreign elite class is looked at a significant funding source for governments with apparent struggling economies.

I love elephants but I agree. Safaris are good because they provide an economic benefit to protecting nature.

It’s easy to be against hunts from a place that has already completely obliterated its natural environment like Iowa.

Yeah, it doesn’t feel that different from your standard “Darwin Award”
