It ewas posted down in the special Lion Conservation topic area but has had only 14 views.

This is the kind of information that needs to be publicized to get across the message of the REAL danger to the fiuturte of ALL African wildlife.

It has already been posted here.

Yes, it was posted in the Conservation sub area, under the African Lions Hunting Management and Ecology topic area.

It was posted there on 12-April-2018 and had 14 views!

Moving it up here it has had 262 views and one reply in less than 24 hours!

Don't know about you Saeed, but with 14 views in 4 days with No Responses, that does not look like the message is being viewed by very many people.

With the latest message that the Dallas Safari Club sent out concerning the future of African Wildlife and the ACTUAL threats to the continued existance of the various species and the threat to those species posed by the indigenous people, news items such as this one need to be included in any/all discussions concerning the future of African wildlife!

Maybe look down the page before you get all indignant?

I am not indignant in any way, just find it strange that such infiormation has not received any more attention than it has.

Back on track, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Most of these cases will never be reported, so they can't be quantified. Now factor in credible predictions from the Population Reference Bureau that the human population of sub-Saharan Africa will double by mid-century, and you have the real problem.

From where I see, in Africa, there is no solution, but I hope I'm wrong.

I hope you are wrong, but I think you are spot on.

@crazyhorseconsulting Thanks for posting this here. I've circulated it to our folks. We are building a library of information that we are using for proactive PR about hunting. This is a good illustration that when an animal is only a pest and doesn't generate any benefits, it will disappear. Hunting generates benefits for the presence of lions much more effectively than tourism.

Thank You, but I just reposted from another topioc section on AR because it did not seem to be drawing a lot of attention.

Stopping sport hunting in Africa or anywhere else on this planet, I believe will only hasten/ensure the decline/extinction of those animals.

Take a chill pill. You are doing the best you can to get the word out. That is important. No one intended to suppress the information; it was on an appropriate form, just not one that gets a lot of traffic. You corrected that. Just be glad we all appreciate that fact. No need to obsess on where it was placed originally.

I ain't obsessing on anything other than the idea that too many humans really do not understand the reality of the future of African wildlife if sport hunting is stopped.

If you think it is wrong to be concerned aboiut the possible/probable future fate of African Wildlife if left in the hands of the indigenous citizens of the various countries, that is your prerogative!

I have never hunted Africa, never really had a great desire to hunt Africa and really could care less if a hunter shoots another elephant or lion while on a safari but I really don't like thinking about those and other species becoming extinct so some native herders could have their sheep/goat/cattle herds.

Crazy,
just re-pointing out to you that this story was posted in this forum and is now on page 2. always good to bring such info BTT
Cheers
