The highly influential think tank, the Brookings Institution at Stanford University, has endorsed trophy hunting as a emans of conservation in Africa. That said, the Obama junta is already talking about banning lion and leopard trophies like it did elephant trophies, and it might disregard even the Democrat / left of center Brookings recommendations. This will affect US hunters, and, consequently, hunters in other countries tat usually follow the US lead.

I am not denying that there are unscrupulous hunt operators, but this does not seem to be one such. And, no matter how ethically we hunters enjoy our sport, the antis will always be there to distort and vilify hunters and the sport that they enjoy. Even when an institution in the Bluest of the Blue state of California endorses trophy hunting.
