Steve AhrenbergGood morning Lane.
I saw that on Facebook this morning.
As I stated in a thread a couple weeks ago, we on AR are simply engaging in verbal masturbation. We all pretty much agree on the desired outcome. We just disagree on the recipe to get us there.
I had "recruited" several members here to help explain in a respectful manner how conservation through hunting actually works and how if benefits both animals and local populations on another forum.
I would like to thank them all for their efforts. ALL the AR folks remained respectful and never took the bait.
My point is, this message needs to be delivered to rank and file Americans, NOT THE AFRICAN HUNTING demographic.
We have failed to deliver the facts to the right audience. We need to and can do better.

Agreed Steve.
And that is what I am doing. I just put it on AR to make sure all here had seen it.

Michael RobinsonVery interesting and informative.
Especially as regards the disparate environmental impacts and financial benefits generated by eco—tourism versus safari hunting tourism.
With safari hunting being far less intrusive and far more beneficial, of course.
Thank you for posting this.
I wish I had more hope that Khama would take heed and reverse his stupid and counterproductive ban.

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.
