Trophy hunting funds conservation efforts, is selective about animals harvested, benefits locals and the local economies, etc. -Trophy hunters are often vanity-driven and lame as hell and deserve to be made fun of

All of the facts in one place.

The only people who annoy me more than African trophy hunters are the people who bitch about African trophy hunting with no education on the practice.

The non-profit crime-fighting organization the Heritage Protection Group (HPG) said Naude was shot dead by a man who pulled up alongside him when the hunter stopped his car after it overheated. They claimed two men had stepped out of a white Nissan pickup truck, with one shooting him. HPG also added they stole one of his pistols and left.

Sounds as if it was just a shopping accident and they didn't know who they shot, just that he had stuff.

I had multiple people block me on FB today because I explained what culling the herd meant, and that the animals permitted to be hunted are going to be killed anyway.

Most of the money PH's make goes back to the state to fund the upkeep of the preserves.
