I feel the South African government should be the ones with the biggest fight in their bellies for the hunters since the country (and others) gain so much from the hunting dollars. They have the ability to pressure the airlines who want to use their airports more than a few organized hunters. This should be taken up by the PH organizations, the Ranch owners the dipping and shipping companies and the many other groups involved in Africa. Just how many people in SA are employed directly or indirectly with the industry, how much does this impact economic matters in areas like Thambazembi especially since mine just closed, sure the local government isn't excited to see hunting going also, so local governments should be involved to do everything they can to keep hunters coming and make it easier. The people of Africa understand the folks in Munich, LA, and Calgary do not.

Worse, did anyone catch the article about rhino poaching in the new National Geographic? The use of guilt by association and innuendo is disgraceful. The South African government should be up in protest.
