Hopefully, people would also start supporting wildlife conservation and the fight against poaching in Africa beyond posting comments.

you are not allowed to join in a twitstorm unless you have given a relavent charity donation. They'd make about £50.

It was to do with locals abusing their hunting licenses and luring an animal off a protected reserve into a hunting reserve. Though using a bow on anything bigger than a small deer is clearly not going to kill it, and constitutes cruelty.
Truth is, the reserves with various, limited, hunting licenses actually preserve more natural habitat than any of the protected nature reserves, and it's all paid for by trigger-happy wankers like him. Who combined, chip in far more cash than any charity tin-rattling. The reality of effective conservation is not all one big fluffy-bunny love-in as the middle-classes would like to believe.

and in some areas in Africa carefully regulated hunting might be the only significant source of funding to keep parks going.
But the strong reaction in this case shows that people do care about wildlife in Africa. It may be a good idea to remind them that conservation needs support year round.
