"Outcry for Cecil the Lion Could Undercut Conservation Efforts." The New York Times. The New York Times, 10 Aug. 2015. Web. 26 Sept. 2016. It begins to explain the perspective of Mr. Dorrington. A nonfiction piece of emotion, so not actually true. It portrays a feeling of what he felt as many others when Cecil was killed. After it begins to explain what would have happened if someone were to want to buy game off of National organizations. In Africa’s case; “There’s only two places on the earth where wildlife at a large scale has actually increased in the 20th century, and those are North America and southern Africa,” [said Rosie Cooney, a zoologist who is the chairwoman of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group. “Both of those models of conservation were built around hunting.”] So it’s acceptable as a “sport” but when you think about organizations taking almost extinct animals and using that district as something for fun you decrease the animal species, whereas when you look where there are animal perseverations the large scale has actually increases.

From gophers to the mighty Cape buffalo, people across the world love hunting animals. It has been a favorite past time for countless years and a survival need as old as the dinosaurs themselves. One local millionaire however, took the sport severely too far.

This activity also brings economic benefits for local people. Peter Lindsey, who is a conservation biologist, research that “in the 23 African countries that allow sport hunting, 18,500 tourists pay over $200 million (U.S.) a year to hunt lions, leopards, elephants, warthogs, water buffalo, impala, and rhinos." . Also is common that the meat after hunt is donated to local people.

Also, around 2010, Zimbabwe was going to capture two of every animals they asked for including rhinos, lions, cheetah, etc. In the european zoos, over 60% of the elephants are captured from the wild.

Big game hunting is cause A major population damage . One of them is one of the most beloved animals in the world the Elephant. Every year, tens of thousands of elephants are being killed for trophies . Their population in Africa dropped from 62,000 all the way down to 20,000 in the last decade. WWF Global said they are due to be extinct in the next decade if nothing is done to stop the big game hunter. It’s not just Africa, where animals are being killed for trophies. ‘In Canada there is a breed of leopards called Amurs that were driven down to 10 left in the whole world ‘’ What caused this big game hunters from all over came to hunt an

Since the European colonization of eastern Africa, trophy hunting has been a highly debatable topic. During the early days of trophy hunting, dwindling numbers of some of the world’s most unique and prized wildlife was not a problem like it is today. Wildlife conservationists and hunters continue to debate the merits of legalized hunting on the economy and on the environment. However, not all hunters value the economic benefits and have passion for the outdoors. In fact, some of these hunters are conservationists themselves, who believe that it will allow for better conservation efforts in the long run. In another perspective, trophy hunters tend to downplay the reality of the killing part. To kill is to put to death, extinguish, nullify, cancel, or destroy. There is a fine line between conservation, and senseless killing of animals involved in trophy hunting.

Trophy hunting is defined as the selective hunting of select species of hunting game for human recreation and not as a way to get food, even though parts of the animals may be consumed. The animal or part of it is kept as a trophy or proof of achievement. Trophy hunters have a code called the fair chase code, this code ensures that the hunter will give the animal they are hunting a fair chase and allow it to escape if the hunter does not have the skill required to kill the animal. By adopting this code the hunter also agrees to allow the animal to use its senses in order to give the animal a fair chance at survival. The hunter also promises not to use illegal methods to hunt such as banned traps that

Trophy hunting has sparked an outrage in today’s society however, there is a long storied history from which glorifies the art of big game hunting. “In King Solomon’s Mines, novelist H. Rider Haggard captured the imagination of Victorian England with the tale of a fearless hunter who ventured to Africa.” (G. Gustin, 2015). Haggard’s novel popularized the “white hunter” a “colonial minded Englishmen who

Trophy hunting has always been an issue in our society and still is to this day. Trophy hunting is the hunting of an animal that is usually kept and displayed by the hunter. We cannot blame Africa for the extinction of many of it’s animals, we have to blame the trophy hunters who have massacred these beautiful animals. The reason why trophy hunting should be banned is because of the risk many animals face of going extinct and because of the lack of respect it has towards animals. It is also driving us into our sixth mass extinction.

Many hunters actually don't agree with Trophy hunting because it's clearly unsportsmanlike like hunting animals in fenced enclosures, baiting them, and even using dogs to chase and exhaust the

I personally do not like trophy hunting animals that will not be eaten and that are used for decorations. I think that trophy hunting serves no real purpose other than to sell to the black market or to say that you killed an elephant or a tiger because you can.

Is it possible to get rid of trophy hunting? Is trophy hunting wrong? Trophy hunting kills animals. This is just one reason why Africa should get rid of trophy hunting. Trophy hunting should be legal because rules and laws aren’t always followed, trophy hunting doesn’t benefit the animals nor the villages, and the animals should be protected from trophy hunting.

Hunting is an ecological problem that it is happening in our nature. Countries like South Africa experience this situation because people who hunt do not realized how harmful this activity is for everyone. Many people who practice hunting have to follow the rules about getting a rhino. These people are allowed to do this activity in their country this is the case in South Africa. The people who hunted the rhinos tend to decide how to use this animal resource. The rhinos are used to make a lot stuff, includes some vanity purpose and in the medical field.

According to Africa’s Uneasy Neighbors Africa has lost over 60% of its large wild animals in the past 40 years. In the text it states that a very famous and well liked lion named Cecil was killed by a trophy hunter. Cecil was in a protected area when a hunter lured him from the area and shot him with a arrow before fatally killing him two days later with a rifle. The death of Cecil the lion sparked outrage and big conflicts. This is when protecting animals came into thought for other countries.

Just imagine life without any elephants, wiped out just like the dinosaurs. In the early 1980’s, there were more than a million reported elephants in Africa. Tragically, during that decade, 600,000 elephants were destroyed for ivory products. Today, conceivably no more than 400,000 elephants remain across the continent. Elephants are facing a very real threat of extinction; In fact, the African elephants are listed on the
