OLN- "Dangerous Game"

[fabsroman]

I'll agree that it is fine to hunt anything that is in season. However, I also think a line needs to be drawn between the lure of the license fee and the population of the game. I completely understand that the fee for killing that elephant was used to further help the elephants and other game in the park. I thought I stated that in the first post. They just need to be careful about how many licenses they give out just because they need food or new schools.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I would hate to see what happened in North America to the Buffalo happen in Africa.

I also understand that all the meat from the animal was used.

Are rhino's still endangered? Just wondering because there was a comment above that one would be included in the great 5 hunt.

Who knows, maybe if I were in Africa and got to see everything first hand, I might be pulling the trigger on an elephant. I highly doubt it, but who knows. Granted, I wouldn't hesitate if it were charging.

Another question. If there are so many tuskless elephants and they are causing trouble, why don't they hunt these?

Finally, I also understand that whenever there is a conflict between wildlife and people, the wildlife always loses.
