Sorry if I hit a nerve responding to a post about admitted stupid acts of destroying local ecosystems, it was not directed at you but I'm guessing you now realize how stupid releasing animals can be? We now have pythons in Florida released by "do gooders".

BTW what does lobster have to do with a lion? Maybe YOU should stay on topic..

LOL …

No … I am a primate, a Homo sapiens …
I am an individual of a species, but that does't mean I am a "species-ist" …

You are the one suggesting that some creatures are "better" than others …

Biology degree here, BTW ...

Study up a bit on African hunting and conservation. The reality is radically different from what you think.
I didn't say who got the money - I said the LIVE animals are the draw. Who do you think benefits from these expensive licenses to kill these animals? I handful of corrupt officials - they sure don't pass it on to the people.

Exactly … It comprises a distinct "industry," with investors, insiders, and large enough profits to attract high end guys all the way from North America ...

Links? Do corrupt people advertise? I've done enough reading about Africa and their many issues and corruption is often mentioned. No links. What is it with this "Got links" thing?

Older guy, here … When I was young, "links" had something to do with "golf," or they were oblong metal bits formed into a chain ...

Then with all the reading you do you must have some proof of your stance.
