I personally agree with you. I am not a trophy hunter. You might be surprised to learn that with a large African game is not going extinct because of trophy hunting. Entire species are going extinct because of loss of habitat and unchecked economic exploitation (think ivory poaching.) People in Africa are converting land to agriculture eliminating the wild places where elephants and lions can roam free. If an elephant exploits a crop or a lion attacks a cow because the locals have converted the old range to raising cows or growing crops, what we know will happen in very short order is the local farmers or cattle growers will turn their rifles on all elephants and lions in the area. People gotta eat. Trophy hunters want to keep large portions of Africa wild so they can hunt. They provide the money that locals can use to buy food so reserves aren’t exploited.
We might not like trophy hunters but it is in their interest and the interests of the locals who work for them to preserve the wild places and wild species the trophy hunters want to hunt.

ronbyers … pls provide some stats by Country to backup your claim that big game hunting provides $$$ for Wildlife Conservation and what % is actually used for that purpose.

I don’t have the time to do the research today, but maybe you have the time to read an even handed article from National Geographic on the subject.
Also too, the picture is a metaphor.
The only heads I’d like to see wall-mounted would be those of Ryan Zinke and the trophy hunters on his advisory board! I was heart broken to read this news today. Please contact the White House and your members of congress and ask them to reinstate the ban on trophy hunting of African wildlife.
