CAMERON HANES RESPONDS TO TRUMP’S ANTI-HUNTING TWEET


President Donald Trump recently tweeted about a decision made by the department of the Interior to start allowing imports of elephants that were legally hunted in two African countries. He characterized “trophy hunting” as a quote “Horror Show” and did not see how it helps conversation.

Archer and Conservationist Cameron Hanes went to his ******** page and penned a great response to the president outlining how hunting is conservation and how animals need hunting for the survival of the species.

Is this for real @realdonaldtrump ?
I’ve never hunted elephant or have ever wanted to, but I do know that every successful wildlife conservation model includes hunting of select animals. Just look right here in North America, the greatest wildlife conservation success story in the world. It is because of hunters that our wildlife thrives. We don’t kill everything as the term “horror show” inaccurately might indicate. Biologists and wildlife professionals study habitat, the carrying capacity of the land, how many animal currently call it home, the health of the herd, etc. and determine bag limits. To ensure the health of any herd, this needs to happen with all animals, including elephants. I am shocked that you or those on your staff (@repryanzinke) aren’t fully aware of this? If some small town bowhunter from Oregon knows that hunting animals gives them value whereas not hunting animals is the very worst thing that can happen for their future, that’s not a good sign.



North America isn’t Africa, I understand that. So, let’s talk about the history of hunting in Kenya where in reality they loved their animals to death as Glen Martin wrote in Kenya: A Contrarian View. He said Kenya’s much-praised ban on hunting, had an impact opposite to its intent: wild animals disappeared at an accelerating rate. “Charismatic megafauna”; elephants, lions, rhinos, population numbers have plummeted. When Kenya’s hunting ban was passed in 1977 in response to the “Ivory Wars” that were ravaging the nation’s elephants, it was hailed as a new and progressive paradigm for wildlife management. With the hunting pressure off, animal lovers opined, the game would prosper. Instead Kenya’s wildlife has declined by more than 70 percent over the past 20 years. What happened? While the ban played well in the developed world, it was catastrophic for the people who lived in the rural Kenya, where wildlife actually exists. As animal rights groups applauded Kenya’s no-kill policy and urged its adoption across Africa, the killing continued unabated. Hunting gave the animals of Kenya value so those that live there cared about protecting them, as an investment. But with no hunting, elephants are a negative as they damage crops, ruin water sources, etc., lions kill livestock, antelope over graze crops, so carnivores are poisoned, antelope snared and elephants speared and shot so crops can grow and the livestock graze in peace. Poachers are another issue and with no hunting value on these animals there is no money to protect them (anti-poaching programs cost money that hunting trophy fees pay for) so the killing for ivory happens unabated. Today, more elephants are being killed in Africa than are being born, with at least 20,000 killed by poachers for their ivory last year alone.

If African wildlife is to survive local people must value it. In other words, they must be allowed to gain both income and meat from it in a sustainable fashion. Love it or hate it, lion, buffalo and elephant hunting can be sustainable enterprises. Wealthy hunters will pay between $50,000 to $100,000 to take a trophy male lion or elephant bull, and up to $20,000 for a buffalo. If that money and the meat is returned to local communities wildlife has value to those that can protect it. If you care about the animals of Africa, put tangible value on them again by enlisting a compressive management program that includes well managed hunting of select animals.

Hopefully President Trump understands that African Animals need hunting and that any decision should be based on what is good for the population and not on emotion.

Not alpha unless you put on the Lions skin and bang his lion harem too.

What a lot of people don't understand is that these hunters have to donate a chit ton of money to kill an animal like this to wildlife conservation. Hunters actually donate the majority funding for wildlife more then these peta ****s or anyone else.

Edit ^^ He gets it.

Lol I bet.

I don’t give two shyts about an animal that would love to eat me if they were hungry and I was around. Fuk em kill em all.

You are such a weird ******* that’s controlled on emotion, you’re telling me you value a animal that would gladly eat you over a fellow human!?

What a lil bish.

It's a matter of principle and ethics.

I have no problem with people hunting and eating their kill. Trophy hunting on the other hand is completely ****ing stupid and trophy hunting a sleeping animal is one of the most cowardly things you can do.

If you see nothing wrong with what that guy did, I think you are a piece of **** and the world would be better without you honestly.

It's really not that stupid. We evolved to hunt and kill these predators for sport. It is our way of eliminating our competition and dominating our environment. In case you didn't notice, we aren't preyed upon by hyenas, bears, tigers, and lions anymore. Do you know why? Because we fuking massacred tons of them. I see nothing wrong with what the guy did aside from if he violated some laws regarding endangered species. Killing a sleeping lion is much smarter than killing an alert lion. I wouldn't personally kill a lion because I have no need to, but if he wants to, he can. It seems cruel and unfair, but it is also cruel and unfair when lions eat other lions' children. Nature gonna nature. Human gonna human, and killers gonna kill.

dude pointlessly killed a lion but he probably ended up donating like half a millie to conservation and betterment / nature preservation for other animals and lions in there

Saying you'll shoot people in their sleep because they have a different opinion then you is a matter of principle and ethics? The only coward here is you saying that behind your computer screen and no Avi. The only reason you can type your retarted post because other people worked hard to give you the right to do so. What did the lion do for you again? Also read post 64

Idk anything about hunting or hunting ethics.

Seems kind of anti climactic to shoot a sleeping animal... however (again) idk wtf I'm talking about.

If I did hunt idk if I'd want to kill a majestic creature like a lion, tiger, Grizzly, giraffe, rhino etc.

Would rather watch a pride of lions hunt in it's natural habitat than shoot it but to each their own as long as it was done legally and ethically

Let it be someones dog and the whole world would stop. Poor lion.

strong not having to wait 1 minute between posts, thought my platinum membership would remove that feature

I don't find much value in trophy hunting. Even though I'm a meat eater, we have commercialized slaughter for that, and I'd prefer to just leave wild animals alone for spectating.

Call it compartmentalization in my views of animals, I guess.

Nothing interesting comes from putting a bullet in a healthy sleeping animal if you don't need to to survive.

Tracking the animal is the part of the hunting, not gladiator matxhes

There’s really no excuse for doing chit like that, but hey *******s gonna *******. If it was something like a deer, sure, but a lion? I’d feel like such a piece of chit for doing that

He doesn’t only kill predators

Also lol at him lying to try to justify shooting animals for the thrill (mental illness) only to stuff them laterhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ing-video.html

There's nothing admirable about this

Trophy "hunting" is a hobby for massive *******s, but they always claim they are killing in ways that are ecologically sound.

Does that claim hold water? Sucks to see awesome animals gunned down so some old rich guy can get an erection, but it's not like I'm doing chit to save the species, I guess.

Gotta look at it like this... Would you rather it be a person doing it legally dropping like 100k per kill that goes towards conservation and ensuring the survival of the species or by poachers doing it willy nilly with no restrictions that would happily put the animals to extinction out of pure greed. I hate seeing these near endangered species hunted more than anyone else but it's going to happen either way so I'd rather see it done the right way that has regulations.

you got to be kidding me dude

I've never been on an exotic game hunt, but this reminds me of the 'hunters' who bag bucks eating at the corn feeder with their .308.

I think trophy hunting is despicable. These animals are not over populated. Deer I understand because you need to thin the population, but lions and other big cats/big game that are close to extinction? How can it be allowed?

because money talks, and as far as i know it's generally only diseased or ageing animals which are targeted for big game hunts, with the profits being used to help the local communities and for conservation

having said that, the guys that do this are still huge sad *******s. gjdm, you drove out in a jeep and shot a defenceless animal from long range, youre a real tough guy

yeah... youd have to be pretty fuked in the skull to enjoy this type of ****...

id feel super duper ****ty about myself if i killed a lion or wolf or w.e for no good reason, these fukers are selfies with it... smh.

I started hunting when I was 14
Very pro gun; pro hunting

I believe there's plenty of room on God's great earth for all animals; right next to the mashed potatoes

But even I would not be proud of that

yea i hate it actually, to the rest of the miscers who approve of that, u can tell they are piece of chit scummy humans.

im surprised this guy hasnt had his hand chopped off. that would surely halt his ...trophy hunting bullchit.

I have no problem with trophy hunters but for God's sake get your monies worth.

My guide is going to have to throw a rock or sound a horn if he wants to get paid.

Edit: Could the lion be drugged?
SMH
Gonna need my money back.

how do bozos ITT still not know that without money from trophy hunters, there would be hardly any funding for wildlife conservation to stop poachers from completely obliterating the species with wanton disregard.

ffs
