BBC: The big business of trophy hunting in Iran

The big business of trophy hunting in Iran
By Siavash Ardalan
BBC Persian
11 August 2015
From the section Middle East

"The furore over the killing by a US dentist of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe has thrown a spotlight on trophy hunting - but while Africa is commonly associated with the sport, American enthusiasts are finding another popular hunting destination - the Islamic Republic of Iran."

I'd go to Iran. No big deal. I am not worried about nukes from a society that can't make decent toilet paper....

Problem is, they might decide you're an American spy sent to check out their toilet paper production techniques . Good luck getting out of there after that.

The money brought in from legal hunting is the reason for the "sudden" awareness of wildlife. The locals now see the value in the wildlife rather than just a bite of food.
The world would be a better place if everyone was pro-hunting!
I'd love to hunt there.

In most overseas hunting locations it is a win-win for the locals, they still get to eat the critters PLUS some foreigner gets to spray money around like a sailor sprays semen around when on shore leave....

If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!
Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame.
