Article and photos concerning businessman Andrew Broggio hunting Africa.


Headline:



"He made a fortune supplying life-saving kit to the NHS then spent thousands 'trophy hunting' wildlife like this... and Andrew Broggio is just one of an elite club who go on luxury killing holidays. Savagery? Or a troubling price for conservation?"

This article contains enough personal information (his company, his home, his car) that it won’t take UK anti-hunting protestors that long to track him down!

Interesting and, yes, likely to make targets of the three people identified, including Mr. Broggio (and wife).

Some glaring errors including assertion that Cape Buffalo are threatened or "near threatened," and that the World Wildlife Fund opposes trophy hunting. In fact, as I understand it, WWF position is that the matter is up to governments but all must abide by the regulations...

Well the "daily Mail" has an agenda.

The article is not accurate in it's factual information. Just a quick search on Cape buffalo numbers brought up 513,000 in the wild, then another site has the population at 398,000 to 401,000. Then there are the farm Cape buffalo in South Africa.

The Cape buffalo was taken before the cape buffalo was place on the near threatened list in February of 2018.

It appears that most of the information was obtained from anti hunting web sites, the way the article is slanted.

Again it is pitting the have's vs the have's nots.

The article is meant to push the hunting and trophy ban being put forth in the UK, that the Daily Mail would like to see.

It would be interesting to know where the Daily Mail obtained the photograph that they used for the story.

These articles are so boilerplate they are patently boring to read anymore. Other than the target’s name, everything else has been said 1000 times.

The anti's would love nothing more than to have each and every plant, mammal, insect, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, etc., etc., etc., listed as endangered or threatened. What a friggin joke. Cape Buffalo next on the endangered or threatened list. Working their way down the Big Five and Dangerous Seven.
