>>2518929>The mountain of evidence that clearly shows how hunters contribute the most to conservation of both wildlife and habitat>"B-but, what about this one case in Scotland on private lands!">>2518934>"Nooooooooooooo, not the heckin elephantrinooos!"Boo hoo, you don't get to decide that, retard. It's simple economics. The animals are either an asset or a liability. If they are an asset, the locals will die to protect them and their habitat from poachers and development. If they're a liability, they will slaughter every single one of them without a second thought. Also, the countries that allow legal hunting (including the hunting of elephants) have the most, by far, and the populations in those countries are steadily increasing.
We are no different here in the West. If bears or wolves are killing a farmer's livestock and they have no way of recouping those loses, they will SSS.
