Very good article, at least most of it leaves emotion out of it.

What a great article!

Very well done. This is a great - and short - read, but one which hits all of the salient points.

I find it interesting to read articles such as this written by journalists, rather than hunters, or academics, or anti's, or whoever. Journalists know how to write short articles that present facts, in a form which average people with shortish attention spans (I include myself) can read and understand (or at least they used to!).

Thanks for posting - I've saved it for future reference.

There is a small text on top;

"Amy Dickman is the founder and director of Tanzania's Ruaha Carnivore Project, part of Oxford University's WildCRU. She has worked in African conservation for over 20 years. All views expressed belong to the author."

I had a nut job on Twitter tell me that Amy's views were invalid because she didn' study Cecil and so didn' know what she was talking about.

So.... I sent her this as a response.
