Look at all the anti-trophy hunting legislative proposals starting to get traction, then compare it to the results on the ground. Yet another real world example of how managed hunting actually saves endangered wildlife and proves to be of great benefit to local populations. (ps Nice to see that even a rag like The Guardian can recognize the benefit)
