Apparently the owner of Jimmy John's is a bit of an rear end in a top hat big game hunter. He's posted photos of his big cat / grizzly / elephant / rhino kills. Check out #BoycottJimmyJohns but I'll refrain from linking due to the amount of animal death. I don't know how rich you have to be to decide that one elephant kill wasn't enough. African hunts seemed really cool when I was a kid, now it just makes me feel sick. Not my go-to sandwich place, but I'm avoiding it now.

Search the tag on twitter. I really do want everyone to see the photo of a rich, naked fat man on top of a shark he has killed, so that you will suffer as I have suffered.

Yeah I got an officer in my unit who’s a trader and he loves this president because he keeps on tanking poo poo and he’s into buy-low sell-high and he’s done extremely well.
Still thinks it’s he’s a idiot but a useful one making him rich-er. Will vote for him again.

Big game hunters coming from out of country fund a lot of the conservation efforts in Africa, plus the animals killed (legally) are animals that needed to be culled for the safety of the population. Either too old, or too aggressive, or whatever.

It sucks that these countries have to fund their conservation with money from foreigners paying for the privilege of being the one pulling the trigger on an animal marked for execution, but there is some good coming from it.

People who pay poachers, on the other hand, can go hang.

I am not condoning safari hunting. I hate the idea. Its gonna happen anyway because of how much money the person taking the dentist around will make. If people want to big game hunt they should do it with some loving parity. Use a 2 or 4 bore rifle, not some modern big game cartridge with 5 shots from 300 yards out. You gently caress up the animal kills the gently caress out of you. The animal may gently caress you up before you even get to shoot. Or use a spear or bow and arrow. You wanna prove youre a "manly man" by killing something dont do it like a coward.

A better solution would be the locals taking the money, driving out to right infront of some lions or whatever, and then when its time to hand over the guys gun they laugh and drive off and leave them there to figure it out themselves. Go be a great white hunter now rear end in a top hat.

the long term solution to poaching is to eliminate poverty in the effected countries, but in the meantime i guess put sanctions on countries that buy the products?

I recently learned that later drafts of the TPP had provisions about human trafficking removed because Malaysia has over a hundred thousand slaves and the straights of Malacca are right there, gotta break a few eggs to make sure capitalism can keep saving the world. As a result my view of sanctions, treaties, etc has further dimmed.

I have East African relatives that work on conservation projects there, so I'm somewhat aware of how things roll. Yeh, they need cash, but I don't think western bastards are as important as you think they are to them.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/07/science/trump-elephant-trophy-hunting.html

quote:

March 7, 2018

The United States has moved to allow hunters to import big-game trophies, including elephant tusks and lion hides, acquired in certain African countries with approvals granted on an individual basis.

The decision, reported in a memorandum published last week by the federal Fish and Wildlife Service, overturns an Obama-era ban on some trophies and contradicts public statements by President Trump, who had endorsed the restrictions.
...
Following the November announcement that the United States would begin accepting elephant trophy imports from Zimbabwe and Zambia, Mr. Trump tweeted that he planned to reverse that decision and that he would be “very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of elephants or any other animal.”
