As I read the information about the Lion ban ,to the US. The Bubye Valley Conservancy,has to prove hunting is a conservation of lions to let them in USA. The USFWS has said no,hunting is not. Some think the ploy ,of the Bubye, is to try to sway the USFWS allow lions back into the US, by going public about having to cull 200 lions.
interesting theory and would make sense, otherwise why woudln't they offer a $5,000 lion as an add on to every hunt and make a bit of $$ off of the excessive number of lions? I would be willing to bet that for a reasonably priced lion many hunters would be up for the experience even if it was something they couldn't export.
