Fair representation of the issues and possible solutions. Thanks for posting.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

It's nice to see the differentiation, especially by the leftwing, BBC between hunters and poachers. It was a well-written article. Ivory prices seemed a little high for the actual poachers, though. In Zim the guy on the ground often only gets around $20/kg.

Local's are poisoning waterholes to kill herds of ellie, along with everything else that drinks water, and the best "civilized" countries can come up with is to ban importation of legal, sport-hunted trophies. What a bunch of clowns.
