They have no clue how hunting in Africa works.
First of all, some of the nation states down there, particularly Botswana being the most popular. Have controlled hunting and engage in conservation, meaning, think Yellowstone National park but with hunting.
If they didn't do this; the little tribal spear chucking fucks would run around killing everything. This is what happenned with elephants in Africa, they started poaching them and selling the tusks to Vietnam and other 3rd world shitholes who thought it had magical healing powers and shit.
So when you sign up to go 'trophy hunt' a Lion. You can either take the meat or be required to give a certain portion or most of the portions of it to the local community. Its not like they shoot a lion, cut its head off, mount it, and let the rest of the lion lay there dead. They are also limited on how many they take every year.
In the western US, we almost exterminated the American Buffalo. It wasn't until we had the government get involved, where we actually saved them and are bringing them back to healthier population levels.
Yes, having a buffalo head mounted on your wall is cool, but theres not retards running around Alaska with .22LRs shooting Buffalos. You have to get a tag, they know the general region they're in, so even if you are a psychopath who just wants to kill it and chop it's head off. Its limited to be able to do that, and if you get caught the forest police can put you in jail. What the fuck more do people want?
