This is a link post Elephant mocks rhino by using stick as pretend horn
Cultural appropriation and racism at its worst.

This is a normal post Elephants are fucking awesome.
More awesome than most folk give them credit for. Cowardly shitcunts that shoot them for sport deserve to be skinned alive.

This is a normal post We could probably teach Elephants how to operate specially adapted firearms.
But I'd prefer we strayed away from guns altogether...

Elephants need to be culled in areas overpopulated by elephants.
People in a third world country work out a way to turn a dollar from it.
That dollar helps conserve elephants and their habitat.

This is a normal post Oh right, so we're doing them a favour by slaughtering them?
However did they manage without us?

This is a normal post Culling is generally accepted
Even by moonbats, as a keystone of conservation.

Both of your fatuous questions. Imagining a world without humans doesn't help a single elephant.

This is a normal post Culling is a separate issue.

The value of trophy hunting is supposed to be in areas where no other incentive exists to conserve wildlife.

But then if you can afford the hunting permit fees and care about wildlife why not just go on a non lethal upmarket safari.

This is a normal post Because Africa is inhabited by Africans, not hipsters
You might rather it were otherwise. Safari tourists are a given, and the locals need to turn a buck. Where that buck doesn't involve industry, mining or poaching, and where it has a demonstrably positive effect on wildlife, I'm all for it.

This is a normal post Botswana has banned hunting and is not run by hipsters.
And I'm not sure trophy hunting helps the fight against wildlife trade.

I agree that opposing it without providing a financial alternative isn't going to be effective.

This is a normal post For fun and lols, I would put shooting an elephant right up there
with the Spanish Inquisition. But Africa needs all the Yanks spunking tens of thousands of dollars it can get.

By making big game taboo, and hounding a dentist over the killing of Cecil the Friendly Lion, urbanites whose knowledge of Africa is based on Disney have deprived reserves of a lucrative resource.

By the way, it's also left a load of specialist trackers unemployed: if only there were an illegal trade in which they can monetise their skills...
