Trophy hunting controversy found on Craigslist.

You don't have to understand, because it's none of your business. I personally dont understand how males can call themselves men while behaving in an effeminate manner, but its not my life to live. People love to say "donate the money" or "shoot cameras, not guns", but that's not going to happen. If eco tourism was such a draw and altruism worked, none of this would even be an issue, but it doesn't. Nobody pays $150K to fly to Tanzania and look at lions. They just don't. Old animals that don't breed only use up scarce resources younger breeding age animals can use, and will either die, or cause others to die. It could not possibly be explained in any simpler terms.

And as far as the killing goes. You, me, all of us are the descendants of apex predators. Period. Hominids have been hunting and killing other species for food and resources since before we could make fire. Some of us embrace that aspect of our nature and celebrate the cultures that we came from that hunted and killed, both for meat and for sport. For some of us, the nature of man is still intact.

...by looking at craigslist?

If he'd actually done research he'd know the difference between threatened and endangered.

And threatened doesn't mean they are threatened throughout their respective range.

Something I find comical:

Dominant males in the animal kingdom are to be revered, while dominant males in the human species are to be abhorred.
