stopping big game hunting would lead to the extinction of many species
You've said this many times, but you've provided no evidence to support it. You merely presume that without hunting, of which only a small percentage of the proceeds goes to conservation and protection (its mostly guides profiting), then poaching will just subsume the species. Why is that correct?

the hunting is part of the guided population control. they don't just assign the tags randomly. they use science to cull the herds to allow populations to sustain
the rhino example is the perfect example.
it's more than just the money. i will go look at that link posted later today but i don't think that is talking about the same sort of program that i am. the money paid for the tags goes to the governmental bodies. i don't see how that money goes to guides when i'm talking about buying permits from the government to hunt.

and other than funding the ability to protect the populations and fund the science to manage their populations, creating a commodity of the amimals raises their value. if we can't hunt them, their value is 0. that makes poaching extremely economically viable. the goal is to make poaching so expensive that rich asian men can't afford to fund these poachers
