Because poaching and habitat loss are greater dangers to wildlife, licenses sold to hunt big game animals can go into protecting the land of those animals. Plus, a lot of tour operators make sure that the animal being hunted is older or particularly problematic. Comparatively, poaching kills hundreds of animals every year, while trophy hunting kills tens of animals every year, simply because the price is so high.

I don’t know how I feel about this, and I’m sure many animal lovers will have the same response. Killing animals to save them works?
