This is why we are alarmed that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing the African lion as endangered. Doing so would make it illegal for American hunters to bring their trophies home. Those hunters constitute 60 percent of our trophy-hunting market, and losing them would be disastrous to our conservation efforts. In 2011, five animal-rights and conservation groups petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service to list the African lion as endangered, arguing that the population had fallen dangerously low because of habitat loss, poaching, commercial hunting and new diseases associated with human encroachment. "The U.S.,” their petition said, "is by far the largest importer of hunting trophies from Tanzania.” Keep up the good work, fellow hunters. Tree huggers and environmentalists need to be stopped. |

Emotion over logic once again. You could talk specific benefits of management via trophy hunting till you are blue in the face but the emotionally driven will always ignore you
