>>2522380>If that was the case african megafauna wouldn't be endangered today.The countries that have strong, regulated hunting and community conservation programs are the ones that are doing the best with wildlife management. Literally the only subspecies of black rhino (Southwestern) that is experiencing a significant population increase is in Namibia, where they are carefully managed through hunting.

>ElephantsElephants have evolved alongside hominids, and we (meaning homo sapiens and our ancestors) have been hunting them for almost that same amount of time. There isn't as much space for them today because their habitat has been shrinking dramatically in recent years, frankly because of the exploding human population in Africa. This is largely due to the fact that Africans have traditionally had large families due to high infant mortality, but thanks to modern medicine, this is no longer an issue. All that needs to be done is for the people to be educated on responsible family planning.
>the fact that it's massive.Mate, I don't know what to tell you. An adult sheep is more than enough to meet the caloric needs of a full-grown lion.
>Small predators are the only ones that survive in anthropized environments.You can find countless videos of massive black bears in suburban New Jersey neighborhoods. If they can manage there, big cats won't have any problems living on livestock farms. If you don't believe me, see picrel.
