re: Animal rights campaigners outragedover cheerleader hunting pics

I'd kill the cape and eat it.

You have to make that poaching culture as well as activist realize that allowing hunters to pay extraordinary amounts of money to hunt these animals does more for the community as a whole than poaching for ivory alone.

Poachers will poach to get paid, so why not turn the table and pay them to guide rather than poach. The animal has to be seen as valuable enough alive not to poach and paid hunts is a way to do that.

One of my wildlife vets I used to work for shared that sentiment with me. i agreed.
