Hunting is the only way to save big game. Just look at what it did for the American buffalo.

I'm going with: if it wasn't for hunters, and their enhanced symbiosis with nature, all of Africa would be a strip mall with no habit for the majestics and then they'd be ded

I don't support the extinction of any species. I'm not following how my post brought about this question.

I know it may be counter intuitive, but legal hunting is conservation. You should go and research what happened to the populations of animals you listed in countries after their legal hunting was outlawed. Long story short, legal hunting creates an incentive for local people not to exterminate them, which they have and will do for a variety of reasons.

Re: the bison (only idiots call them buffalo), they were the motivation for the creating of the American conservation model, which is the best and most successful in the world. We have brought a number of species back from the brink, and now successfully manage hunting seasons for them. Our model is unparalleled, unprecedented, and undeniably successful. Others replicate it to their benefit, or deny it to their demise, for it is not rooted in feelings but rather science.

I'm not surprised you feel the way you do though, weren't you the one that wanted to liberate a non native species of fish into a local waterway, as an experiment?

What research will I read that will dissuade me from not wanting those animals killed? That's a pretty black and white issue.

The crux of the debate is you feel humans own the Earth and I think we belong to Earth.

I believe it is our duty to take care of the Earth. You believe it will take care of itself.

I'd be in favor of a most dangerous game style punishment for poachers. That's how I feel we can take care of the Earth. Legalizing hunting to prevent poaching is hilarious to me. Give the hunters that want a challenge a chance to hunt the poachers. Win win. I'm sure that would bring in a lot of coin.

i really doubt you find a lot of people that want to pay to hunt a human being

I do not. I can see no greater hunting challenge. If I had the money to hunt poachers, id be all about that.

If you think scenarios like Hostel don't actually exist, you are mistaken.

There is nothing hunters want to kill more than the stuff they aren't allowed to kill, and humans are at the top of that list

Especially trophy hunters.
