You think those guys that kill these animals give a shit about saving them? lol They just like killing shit and acting like they accomplished something.
who or where was that ever stated?
This is a big picture overall result of trophy hunting. Much like farms (animal or produce) the "product" will be protected. Right now it is the wild west in these areas, big game hunting brings some order to it.
It is something I would never do, not pleasure in trophy hunting for me but I get the process. It's sad this even has to be an issue but it's reality.
