Taxidermy is a super word choice for T- not so good for the animals of course...it's a tragedy the destruction that went on the 70's and 80's...fortunately some progress now, but lots of damage already done.

Africa still has hunter-gatherer communities. The ecology recovers because the hunting is not indiscriminate, the females with young are not killed, and there are other taboos in place. Poaching/trophy hunting often does not respect these age old practices, which is why so many species of megafauna have come close to extinction.

Trophy hunting, animals used in circuses, fur coats... I've seen all of these things falling out of favor in my lifetime.

My paternal grandpap was a hunter, but he hunted ethically, by only targeting normal animals instead of endangered species and protected animals, and he used the whole animal instead of only part.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-13409433966825971602018-04-23T21:43:49.387+05:302018-04-23T21:43:49.387+05:30The poem from letter exerts, sounds like a good id...The poem from letter exerts, sounds like a good idea. and send me a tie.<br />Listening to the music from Mali now.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-63465584066433592842018-04-23T20:39:02.290+05:302018-04-23T20:39:02.290+05:30Wow, 1 in 7 people employed by tourism.

If an animal does need to be killed do so quickly, respectfully and don't display their body parts. As I understand it serial killers of humans often take and keep similar trophies. <br />Recreational shooting (of living things) is a classic oxymoron in my eyes. <br />Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
