To be honest I think even if this is a real photo, and that's an elephant tail - who cares? Compared to the potential downfall of the greatest country there's ever been, this is nothing. There are 3 billion animals slaughtered every day for the food industry... Go and join PETA and get off TDW with this divisive crap.
Alright settle down I don't have a personal with hunting at all I was just trying to put a pede at ease and maybe a little in his place that it is legal.
you should educate yourself on how hundreds of species would go EXTINCT without the millions of dollars raised by these private hunting grounds that directly go into wild conservation.
again, you should go educate yourself before making misleading posts. Leaving wildlife alone works in a FANTASY world. The reality is that poachers won't leave them alone and will hunt them into extinction, especially those dumb fucks in China where they think Rhino horn will help them get their dicks hard. Also, people are starving in Africa, so they will kill to eat irrespective of how on-the-brink an animal is.
The private hunting grounds PROTECT, BREED and REINTRODUCE endangered wildlife that would otherwise go extinct. NONE OF THE MEAT GOES TO WASTE! Meat is donated to tribes and villages where every last bit of the animal is utilized.

I follow everything else in your post except this part. Wouldn't this happen in any third world place where food is scarce? Is that morally un-justified to feed yourself in any way possible?
Say you got some forest and Jungle with endangered prey, common prey and common predator - leave it wild and the endangered prey is likely to go extinct from the common predator and poachers, manage it as a hunting ground and the money is taxed and used to fund preservation efforts - stopping poachers who hunt young+out of season, keeping the ecosystem alive and preventing it from being sold as timber/new farmland.
Paradoxically to what you'd think, hunters are the biggest force for ecological preservation and keeping wild game - if species went extinct they'd have nothing to hunt!
I'm not a hunter myself but am a man of many interests - conspiracies, nature, Christianity, music, populism/FuckNWO/CCP, etc. so know a little about it.
Sometimes that is the case, it's a better trophy IMO.
Other times there is an over-abundance of prey who need culling in order to preserve the foliage, due to a shortage of natural predators. If this wasn't done then the prey would make certain ferns and stuff go extinct, but mainly just eat all the food - then starve and die. If that happened there wouldn't be enough carrions - though the carrions there is would Feast and both the uneaten rotten carcasses and the endemic carrions may spread disease to rangers, hikers, and hunters.
Also, an ecosystem having mass die-off from starvation and seeing dead carcasses everywhere wouldn't be great to look at and isn't the most environmentally friendly thing (plant/grass growth takes Co2 out of the atmosphere and decay releases methane).
Ecological management is a complex issue and isn't as simple as the leftist media has made everyone think it is.
Even 'trophy hunting' isn't as unethical as we're made to think - it supports carrions, foxes, wolves, etc. and also ecosystem management through fees during hunting season (same as fish season, they only kill a specified type/amount/age of animal), and those guys who work at stuffing animals and making rugs and stuff - there's skilled labourers dependant on hunters for their livelihood and it cuts down on fake Chinese fur imports.
Why is he posing with Hillary?
So true
Who is this?
Dude is carrying an elephant trunk; totally illegal everywhere; this is not Jr, this is a fake attempt to sow division. Fuckyou, shill.
How does shit like this get upvoted?
Is it really this simple? Are we that lacking in discernment?
Compare literally anything to [PEDO / CHINA / COMMMIE] for an upvote?
It's an elephant tail and it is not illegal everywhere. Sadly
I thought it was the tail off that buffalo?

it is illegal to hunt elephants
It is not in many African countries, you are misinformed.
and this is not Jr
Not a fan of the “sport”. Head out with only a knife and bring home one of those trophies and ill be impressed.

Sounds like bullshit PR. Let's let people hunt animals, to save money so that we can save animals? Wild conservation is leaving them the fuck alone.

Hunters aren't typically doing it for food, so is the idea that they hunt more of the surplus predators, who aren't typically favored in diet?

Trophy hunting is actually good for conservation because it encourages the locals to protect the animal population from poachers and stuff.
Oh i know. I didnt say it was good or bad. Just lame.
Lol k soyboy
