US Fish and Wildlife Service states that hunting is good for elephant populations

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) said it has determined that hunting African elephants in Zimbabwe and Zambia “will enhance the survival of the species in the wild,” which is the standard by which officials judge whether to allow imports of parts — known as trophies — of the animals.
“Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation,” an FWS spokesman said in a statement late Wednesday after hunting group Safari Club International announced the policy.

They're not wrong.

Well, they aren't wrong. A private hunting preserve has a much higher incentive for preservation of species and their well-being than a public space that has no profit-loss margin to consider when taking action.

This is nothing new. Well regulated hunting is good for animal populations

This concept has been around for decades. Tragedy of the commons is real

The hind quarter is tasty, but it takes a helluva big smoker to hold it.

How many coonasses will read this thread and dream about building a cajun microwave to cook an elephant?

People don't get this. The most simple example is lions. Lions kill cattle in Africa. Without hunting, farmers in Africa put out poisoned bait for lions and kill them indiscriminately. When there is legal hunting, the farmers have an incentive to not poison these lions as the price incentive is usually plenty to keep them from doing so and the hunters often target older problem lions that get close to human communities. I have no desire to kill lions or elephants but I won't judge someone who does.

Has nothing to do with what they know about elephants. The importation of elephants killed in those countries was banned by the previous administration because of bad management practices in those countries, and poor attempts to crack down on poaching. Supposedly, those issues have been resolved.

I definitely didn't get "tragedy of the commons" out of what you said.
