I think it is you who is the idiot and have missed the point that Kathy and friends have made.
Obviously by now most people are aware (informed) that the money made from hunting, employs people etc etc…. goes into Conservation but the actual fact being made here, is that there are some people in this world who actually get pleasure and will pay thousands to kill a defenceless animals. They pay a fortune for this pleasure which they call a “SPORT”.
Surely, as these "hunters" have so much money, if they had an ounce of decency in them, and cared at all about our environment and other living beings on our planet, they would donate the money and not need justify their blood thirst by claiming that the money goes into Conservation of all the other animals.
Don’t go on to say that the animals being hunted are those on the list for “culling” because that’s another excuse. Mot people realise the wildlife population has to be controlled by culling and indeed this practise is in most cases acceptable and the meat can go to the Africans who are in need of food. It is not the same as a human being running around with a gun and getting pleasure out of hunting and killing these animals.
ANY KIND OF ANIMAL HUNTING FOR “SPORT” IS INHUMANE AND SHOULD BE BANNED
