This is an educational post, so skip it if you come to vital with the hopes of being dumber than you were before you showed up.

Pictures like this circulate every once in awhile so people can look at them on facebook and reaffirm their sense of morality by showing some sort of outrage. They're circulated by users to boost the ego of the user as a form cognitive confirmation. The nature of social media creates a feedback loop for these posts.

Anyways, the people who shoot these animals aren't doing it through tag raffles like you would for a run of the mill elk or deer shoot. They are typically sold to high bidders and bids go into the 6 figures. The animals that are killed are singled out and the hunter is only allowed to take that particular animal which the park, nature reserve, whatever rangers have been monitoring extensively for a long period of time. Those animals you see were sold as trophies before the shooter set foot in that country.

The reason they do this is two fold. 1. The park deals with a limited number of animals of a particular species and, as a result, there are sometimes outliers that create risk for the other members of the species. Oftentimes it's older males that grow too old but at the same time too strong. They will lose reproductive viability but still be able to kill younger males looking to mate. This is common with rhinos. These animals threaten future generations and so the wildlife reserve will single them out to be culled from the population for the preservation of the species.


2. These parks struggle to raise enough money through donations to pay for staff and equipment to help the wildlife. The people who talk about how much they want to save endangered animals typically don't give large sums of money to the nature reserves. The sport hunters, however, are willing to pay huge amounts of money ($100,000 goes a long way in any African country).


So the reserves pick 1 animal that needs to be removed, they sell that animal to the highest bidder and they end up with someone willing to pay them a large amount of money to do a chore for them.


Policing poachers is very expensive. Oddly enough, the contributions made by these hunters are the largest source of funding for policing that these places get.

An avid hunter, Liautaud acknowledges the biggest misconception about him is that people still connect him to 10-year-old photos of him posing with elephants, rhinos and other endangered animals he shot, photos which have prompted calls for boycotts in recent years. Just asking him about it makes his eyes well up with tears.

"I choose to hunt and I choose to fish," he said. "Everything I've done has been totally legal. And the meat has been eaten, if not by me than by someone I'm with. I don't hunt big African game anymore."

What's legal is legal. Ironic, yes, but to judge a man or any group of people for this is unnecessary. I don't hunt for game because I feel like there are better ways to spend my time, however, it's a part of life and culture so I accept it as reality. Everyone on here saying it's "sick" or "he's a pussy," you're probably just jealous because you don't have $100k to mess with, let alone throw at a dead elephant.

People get paid to kill innocent animals, it's their job. Ever been to a meat packing plant? Do you eat meat? Farmers raise herds of innocent animals that are slaughtered to put meat on the table for millions. The health of impoverished nations is being improved by the increased access to animal protein through the slaughter of innocent animals.

It's a shame that our countries rural population is declining. Small town people see what it takes to feed the masses and the fact that millions of animals are raised to be killed and butchered. Urban dwellers can get them themselves isolated from witnessing these realities and it distorts their rational thinking.
