Someday there will be none left? Which one? The lions or the stupid people? I vote for getting rid of the stupid people. What the hell do people get by killing a giant cat?? Lion soup? A long haired wig or a beard maybe? How about an elephant? You cant even keep the tusks or make boots out of the hide. They take em and probably burn them as if it helps the dead animal now. There ought to be a safari in which the UNARMED person is hunted for a week by the lion then if he makes it, he gets to hunt the lion back. How many people wanna buy a lion license? I have a lot of cats here in my block if anyone is interested. They are all black and they all cross your path. I know. More than once have I looked down to find something squishy under my shoe. No license needed just be 'subtle' about it. :twisted:

Id like to educate people who make judement calls and have no clue as to how wildlife management works.

Fact - The vast majority of African wildlife exists on govt owned preserves. The people in most African nations lifestyles range from extremely poor to starving to death. There is little incentive to spend money to manage or protect wildlife and lots of financial incentive to poach animals. Wildlife preserves are the only sanctuary from poachers.

Each preserve has a limited capacity. If you get too many elephants, they strip it clean of everything green, and they starve to death. Anybody who has ever had a couple cows in a small pasture understands this. If you get too many lions, they eat all the grazing animals, and then they starve to death. If you get too many grazing animals, they strip it like the elephants, and if there are too few, the lions starve. Get the picture? keeping a balance of the right numbers of each species so they are all at optimum healthy numbers is a science known as wildlife management.

So what do we do when you get too many elephants on a preserve? Move them? Where? The native people dont want them roaming. Id imagine one elephant could detroy an entire crop pretty fast. Each country handles it a differnet way. The dumb ones hire government shooters at taxpayers expense. They kill off a specified number of elephants and keep their numbers in check. The smart countries instead of paying people to kill them, sell hunting permits to foreignors with lots of money. I dont know what it is now, but about 10 years ago, and elephant tag went for $10,000. That money goes to the local goverment, and preserve operation and management. These foreignors also employ a bunch of locals as guides and hunt crew. They make more money on one hunt than most do in a year there. Then, when an elephant is killed, the meat goes to feed the local villagers, who, as I said, are very poor or starving. Then any ivory is burned, because the geniuses in the UN decided banning legally obtained and controlled ivory from export would "save" elephants depriving these very poor countries of the badly needed revenue its sale could bring.

Yes, we're talking lions, but the same principle applies. By the way, those of you who cant understand the killing of an individual lion, do you have any idea what lions eat, and how they get it?

The problem with African wildlife is NOT that we cannot produce enough of it. The problem is that we do not have enough places to put it. The other problem is that when people are starving, wildlife preservation is low on the priority list. When preserving wildlife has economic benefits to the local people, it becomes a lot more important. The countries in Africa that have catered to sport hunting as a management tool have far better and healthier populations of all species, and healthier local economies than those that try to run their preserves from taxes.

When you know a few facts, the idea of pumping several thousands of dollars into a poor village to kill an animal that they have too many of in a preserve, in order to reduce the numbers of deaths of the animals it feeds on, suddenly may not seem so "STUPID".

Tim I'm with ya really ..... I just don't like stupid people, but really thats for a different post. Having the chance to go hunting big game in Africa (Id have to say no to elephants though) to me would be like giving Homer a chance to be the offical tester of Duff beer for a week, I'd drink up all the product .... sorta speak. It would also give me a reason to buy one of those huge caliber, nitro cartriged big game guns I've always admired in the gun shows over the years - 458 Winchester Magnums, Norma mag modifieds - etc. I would love to be "John Buhmiller" (one of the greatest "great white hunters") for the day.
