It’s time to end this vile killing spree

You report that trophyhunters are killing an animal every three minutes. Killing for pleasure is one of the most disturbing things man can do. The sooner this practice is banned, the better. Owen Hollifield,

Deer, hogs and some other animals are often introduced into areas where they have no natural predators to control their numbers. In these situations, they can cause harm to these environments. Hunting in these circumstances is completely different to killing lions in their natural habitat.

Here in South Africa, hunting on private game reserves has revived animal numbers and preserved vast areas of land.
