h/t Jerry Pournelle
Lion murderer Walt Palmer is an asshole. But, he's also an asshole who's contributed more money to animal conservation in Africa than pretty much anyone else. In fact, trophy hunters like him are a large part of the reason we still have animals like lions at all.
Hunting is one of those things that, if you don't do it, probably flies in the face of your carefully curated 21st century morals. Everyone likes animals, so killing them is wrong, right? The fact is that there's far more nuance to the argument than that. |
