BUT....they NEED hunting to NOT be part of the the problem to sign on completely.

If the scientist "know that the lion needs to be a huntable species to sustain", then why do their actions to keep it that way come with conditions?

Because they know that even with hunting as it is currently practiced by "some" in the industry...they will not sustain...hunting needs reform as well.

So, you are saying that these listed scientist are willing to eliminate the only hope for the wild lion (hunting), if there is anything in that sport they consider as "unsustainable"? Surely these people are not that short sighted.

You are putting words in my mouth Brad. I never said willing to eleminate. But...to endorse...they want changes. And...as I said in the other thread...if it is good for the lion...WE (hunters) should already be on board.

I am not putting words in your mouth, how many times have you and others stated (correctly by the way), that the only hope for the wild lion is the continuation of hunting?

Brad,
Your quote above. You are putting words in mouth. I have never said: "willing to eliminate".
