rare trophy pic showing a scimitar oryx



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar_oryx
"The scimitar oryx was hunted almost to extinction for its horns.[when?] Its population decline began as a result of major climatic changes that caused the Sahara to become dry. The northern population was already almost lost before the 20th century. The decline of the southern population accelerated as Europeans began to settle the area and hunt them for meat, hides and horn trophies. World War II and the Civil War in Chad that started in the 1960s are thought to have caused heavy decreases of the species through an increase in hunting for food.[5][25] Roadkill, nomadic settlements near waterholes (their dry-season feeding places) and firearms for easy hunting have also reduced numbers.[26"

you can believe it or not "The decline of the southern population accelerated as Europeans began to settle the area and hunt them for meat"
this animal was hunted for centurys this way




the firearm in the hand of locals is the main problem, political correct or not allmost ever its the native who exterminate like here rebels in libya "hunting" gazelles
