How the ban on lion hunting killed the lions

How stupid simplistic greenie policies harm true wildlife conservation.

How the ban on lion hunting killed the lions: Mikkel Legarth


Quote:

When it comes to animals, people's behavior is usually driven by their emotions instead of facts and knowledge -- it's a behavior that can result in the exact opposite of what was intended. There is no picture perfect or black and white -- conservation is usually a choice between two evils. A choice that can either save some of the world's most iconic animals -- or lead to their extinction. After working with the big cats in Southern Africa, Mikkel Legarth from Denmark co-founded Modisa Wildlife Project - a project that wants to define new standards on how we feel, think and act with regards to conservation.
Watching documentaries and studying books about the wildlife of Africa has been a passion of Mikkel's since forever. A trip to Africa in 2008 completely changed his life. After volunteering to care for the area's big cats, Mikkel extended his stay to 10 months, working in a management position where he oversaw up to 60 volunteers from across the world. Recently he co-founded the Modisa Wildlife Project to help create a better future for the wildlife of Botswana.

Notice he didn't call for the reintroduction of commercial hunting. Read the comments on you tube and you can see what we will always be up against.

More on Legrath


" Legrath also mentioned that the cattle farmers threatened by lion predation exported their beef to the EU. That practice was closed in late 2010 as the abbatoirs in Botswana did not meet EU export standards, and has not been revived since. - See more at: http://www.lionaid.org/blog/2013/11/hugging-lions-or-conserving-lions.htm#sthash.mGpIaA1u.dpuf

Legarth sounds like he has set up a conservation project and is touting for donation money ...
