@sportsmanlager Classic British two-tier animal rights activism. Ignore trophy hunting in the UK whilst demanding bans on trophy imports. The love for foreign wildlife over Britisn wildlife is astounding.
'The proposed UK trophy hunting import ban, though framed as a compassionate morality play, risks doing far more harm than good by substituting Western emotion for African evidence'

Fences are rarely celebrated in conservation. Yet where people and wildlife live side by side, unmanaged elephant movement carries serious consequences for communities, from crop losses to injury and loss of life.
In Liwonde National Park, a strengthened perimeter fence along the entire 244 km boundary, combined with community-led monitoring and safeguarding, is addressing one of conservation's most persistent challenges, and the impact is striking.

@justlikehvn@DavidArnol88243 Trump only lifted blanket bans on certain species imported as trophies into the USA. The USA has never had an all-encompassing ban on trophy imports.
@TheAgentMaddi All are wrong? Yet only publicly condemn the one that's not British. Then defend this position by way of cancellation as 'what aboutism'. Classic British two-tier animal rights activism. Ban Trophy Imports sound familiar? Silence on Trophy hunting in the UK and UK trophy exports?
@TheAgentMaddi The Great British two-tier animal rights activist. Condemn canned hunting in a foreign country whilst dismissing the British equivalent as 'what aboutism'. Ban your own canned hunting industry, and then you will have the moral high ground to call it out elsewhere.
@B_wire9393@CallMeKulubya Why? Local Communities charge hunters to hunt their meat for them. The trophy hunter gets the inedible bits in return. What possible issue could you have with this financial and resource provision. You do know communities have full agency as to how they utilise their wildlife?
@rfloresc1@ChangeOrgLatino Credible conservation scientists say the opposite. Banning trophy hunting in Africa will be detrimental to conservation funding & the future of lions. Kat is an anti hunting activist who's org sounds grander than its 40k annual budget is effective at meaningful lion conservation.
@DavidArnol88243@domdyer70 Tens of millions of cage produced birds to be shot out the sky annualy in the UK. Yet two tier @domdyer70 moralises about bear pelts imported from Canada?
@DavidArnol88243@domdyer70 Have yet to see @domdyer70 call out the UKs own trophy hunting industry - Red Deer? Two tier activism appears to be a British speciality.
@TomValentinoo What's your point? Trophy hunting is not confined to African wildlife. USA, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand all have thriving trophy hunting industries.
@felabayomi@DavidArnol88243@MikeHudema@PendleWitch_ The giraffe sub species trophy hunted has exactly the same IUCN Conservation Status as trophy hunted Red Deer in the UK. Least Concern. You claim you are CITES trained?
@jennyhwy Good idea. In the slavery supply chain to the USA, it was the African black majority who sold other black Africans to the minority white slave traders. Does the majority pay the bulk of reperations?
