Well put, keep simple.
 
"the other place." lol.
 
Hunting is good for most any place or country. People appreciate the white tail deer, elk and turkey here in the states. Yet most of the people who are anti hunting have little knowledge that it was hunters who brought these species back from extremely low populations. When I was a boy you never saw a turkey In The wild? But the good people over in Edgefield South Carolina raised turkey from eggs and put breeding groups back into the wild in the lower 48 states. They did that and now turkey hunting is almost as popular as deer hunting. The same antis have no idea that some 20,000+ white rhinos are on South African farms.
Good video that I hope gets seen by many many people.
 
Saturday we stayed in a small town of Lichinga in Northern Mozambique. 10 people involved in the hunting industry were staying in the hotel, roughly 140$ a night. The next morning at the Lichinga airport, 6 of us were using the airline, the same boeing we were flying out on had two hunters arriving on it. 3 flights to get to OR Tambo. While we were sitting in the departure lounge @Moosetamer and myself begun to discuss the money involved in the hunting industry.......the money paid for our flights/hotel is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge amount of money that the hunting industry brings to Africa.
 
Trophy hunting and hunting in general are good for every species. If it was not for hunters then the Spanish Ibex, Alpine Ibex as well as other species would be extinct in the wild. Hunters brought them back from the brink that is what non-hunters and antis don't understand. Animals need our help to survive and hunting is part of that.
Great Video.
