Lion advocates support trophy hunting to help save big cats

 

When one contemplates saving an endangered species, one's thoughts naturally

turn to ... shooting it. (Wait, yours don't?) So it is with the fast-shrinking

lion population of southern and eastern Africa: A historic meeting of

conservationists, regional government representatives, and safari hunters last

week in South Africa concluded that legal trophy hunting might be just the

ticket to preserving the iconic great cats in the wild. Trophy hunting, combined

with other strategies like strong crackdowns on illegal lion kills, could help

save lion habitat and finance conservation efforts. Lions have disappeared from

about 80 percent of their historic range in Africa, thanks to habitat loss,

disappearance of wild prey, and more human-lion conflicts -- all of which are

likely to increase if Africa's human population continues to grow.

1000 miles of endless screams, where all the dead heroes lay

I've got the choice to set my knife, I've got the courage to set my life

I've got the day I'll pick to die. Gotta hate someone, I don't know why

I'll fight for a better way, be a dead hero for the U.S.A.
