  • South Africa is facing a conservation crisis. National parks and private game reserves are a key part of the country’s tourism industry, which accounts for 7% of its GDP and employs over 1.5 million people. As countries around the world implemented covid lockdowns and travel restrictions, this vital source of revenue was cut off, threatening conservation efforts, including the ability to combat the global illegal poaching industry.

      Some species are are more common than others, but the individual animal , whether it’s a rhino or a cow has the same capacity to feel pain have and all the emotions that you have , it’s hard to find an upside to the extinction of certain species, but maybe one will be that the individuals no longer suffer.

    Poachers are probably among the few in Africa that are not living in absolute poverty. Can you blame them for hunting animals any way they can? How is it inhumane to kill a rhino, but it's fine to hunt a deer? If there is wasted meat, then address that issue. If they treat animals with cruel trapping practices, then address that issue separately. But don't forbid a people, especially poor populations, from hunting indigenous animals. It makes as little sense as telling Inuits to stop hunting seal.
