>>2521148>This is not even remotely what happens.I'm talking facts, and you're just regurgitating the propaganda you've heard from anti-hunters and the mainstream media. The proof is in the pudding. Countries with legal, regulated hunting and community conservation programs have seen increases in wildlife and huge areas of once private land being re-wilded and/or made public.
>it would be better if Africans just ceased to exist Idiotic /pol/tard sentiment. Europeans virtually annihilated all dangerous predators (along with a substantial number of other megafauna species) from their continent to make themselves safe and make space for development. Now you want to tell Africans that they can't manage populations of dangerous predators like lions, or huge destructive animals like elephants? You think they care about the so-called "inherent value" of these animals the same way you do? Such a concept is a luxury for people in the developed World, who are also (generally speaking) the most detached from the wild. Let me make this as clear as possible:
If the local people have no incentive to keep the wild animals around, they will kill them all.
