Define ‘legally’ of killing a lion please?
Discussion
Well, you need to apply (usually through the outfitter) for a trophy permit, ($30k+) which are given out on a strict quota system by the government. If you don’t have that and kill a lion , there’s a very real possibility you won’t be leaving Tanzania , ever
Very sad and corrupt.
No wonder we are losing lions at an alarming rate. How anyone could kill such a magnificent and majestic creature is beyond comprehension.
Legal hunting is the only thing protecting them. If they have economic value, the government and landowners have a reason to maintain their population and habitat. Compare any species that is legally hunted in say, elephant in Tanzania, to an African country that has no legal hunting like Kenya. DYOR
I do not agree to this. A lot of people are confused with this type of misinformation.
I won’t argue on Nostr over this, we shall agree to disagree.
I wasn’t arguing, merely trying to share my knowledge on a subject I am quite familiar with (my father was a wildlife biologist for 40 years)
Mainstream media misinformation is what I’m fighting, who malign hunting at every turn, like I said, DYOR
I spent some time in Africa recently and I do my own research by speaking directly with proper conservationists. This is a subject that is close to their hearts and the corruption across Africa re trophy hunting is at a highly disturbing and disgraceful level.
How did you DYOR the corruption? Colour chart?
