Dead wild animals by numbers — Professional Hunters Association stats tell a grim tale.
34,515 animals were killed by foreign hunters in 2023 - just in South Africa.

SA's proposed elephant strategy calls for commercialization & maximum commodification of elephants incl trophy hunting, live exports, culling, trade in body parts, incl ivory. A disaster in the making if allowed to proceed.

@Artfamcdk The figure is 410 not 400

[PETA UK @PETAUK]

Hunting is a blood sport and has no place in the UK.

@CWitvrouwen Disappointing & unbalanced article. And incorrect - quota is 410 according to govt announcement.

Greenwashing and Social Justice: Pro-Trophy Hunting Narratives Need Careful Examination

[Christina @CWitvrouwen]

Safari Club International’s objective is to make Africa the “greatest hunting grounds in the world” for its elite members.

This at the expense of the rightful owners of those grounds, the indigenous communities.

Great news from Canada as Senate passes Bill to ban captivity of elephants & great apes, ban breeding & ban their use in performances.
Shameful that the UK won't take similar measures even as more & more elephants die in captivity. @BIAZA

@newselephant @Action4ElliesUK has written to all these NGOs asking them to sign & share this petition from a Matswana calling on the new president to protect elephants & lead in conservation. To their shame, the NGOs didn't respond or do anything to support this.. WHY?https://t.co/e7r8iiWMId

[ActionForElephantsUK @Action4ElliesUK]

Zoos: the great education and conservation myth

[dendrez @dendresner]

@AmyDickman4 You don't listen to scientists who don't share your views, you dismiss them as 'campaigners', so there's no point sharing the data again (which is readily available). As for HEC, it's not an issue with the killing of these tuskers.

[dendrez @dendresner]

Trophy hunting decimates near-extinct super tuskers on the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Shocking that UK academics like @AmyDickman4 & co don't see any problem in these killings of the last great tuskers.. seems they have no limits when it comes to supporting TH

@John58784 So that's your single example of debunked science? Seems very weak. You're displaying the usual arrogance & dismissiveness (& rudeness) typical of your lot, even while you pretend to be interested in discussion! 🤣
No, I'm not a journalist & don't know what you're referring to.

[dendrez @dendresner]

A deep dive into both sides of the debate on culling, trophy hunting, elephant conservation & the wider wildlife war in southern Africa.

[ActionForElephantsUK @Action4ElliesUK]

*NEW* This just released report on southern Africa's wildlife war is the ONLY RESOURCE providing a deep dive into the arguments on both sides of the debate (leaders & conservationists) & sources for each.

@David__Reed @EIA_News @fishvetmj @JournoJane

[dendrez @dendresner]

@John58784 Which bits in particular have been debunked by science or are misrepresented in your opinion? If you'd read it properly you'd see that it's a summation of the arguments on both sides. Too bad that you simply dismiss it.

@SirJonoRose @simon_schama It's odd that you see the plain observation of what trump says & does as derangement. To non MAGA folk, the blind & servile acceptance of his lies & agenda to destroy the country is what's deranged!

[dendrez @dendresner]

@AmyDickman4 @paulakahumbu This new deep dive into culling, trophy hunting, corruption & other issues of southern Africa's wildlife war provides a valuable & unique resource in the debate.
