--- Quote from: otto-san on November 16, 2017, 05:00:49 PM ---can you elaborate a bit more? i'm having trouble making a line of logic that connects more hunting to more live elephants unless this is a mcjoke in which case i'm a fool --- End quote --- The countries that elephants inhabit are historically extremely poor. There is very little economic incentive to put away massive swathes of land and resources to protect the ecosystem. However, when rich people come over to do 'big game hunting', they get to shoot one of many hundreds of elephants (usually ones that are sick, or overly aggressive to the point where they endanger other animals) and they spend ridiculous amounts of money, which gets used to secure more habitat and fight against poaching. The net effect is that one elephant dies but many more are saved. |

can we get ivory piano keys at least |
| Foxscotch:
honestly trophy hunting does a pretty decent amount of good for conservation efforts as I guess sev has already said I think this isn't necessarily a bad decision, as long as the legality of importing them requires that they are proven to be legally obtained, and not poached |
| Nonnel:
yeah my beef is mostly that poachers could potentially have, y'know, a really good reason to poach. |

im honestly legitimately surprised at sevenths reaction to this, i wouldve expected him to be upset about this. never thought of it the way he is thinking of it tho gotta think seventh-dimensionally about this i guess --- Quote from: hodototman on November 16, 2017, 01:59:59 PM --- guys I don't think this is how conservation works --- End quote --- i know this is completely random but the rhythm at which they put their hands on their head almost perfectly fits the tempo of the NFL on Fox theme, which i was listening to when i saw this gif https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbU4fPYRvcY |
