African officials from multiple countries made a case for hunting at the U.S. Interior Department’s International Wildlife Conservation Council during a two-day session at FWSheadquarters. Professor Joseph Mbaiwa from Botswana insisted that “hunting be regarded a conservation tool." A Zimbabwean ecologist stated that "trophy or safari hunting is key in sustainable wildlife utilization"; and a Namibian official said “hunting generates meat, money and jobs". Richard Nkuwi of the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority, called for "opening up of U.S. market to Tanzania elephant and lion trophies". Roseline Mandisodza-Chikerema, chief ecologist of Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, assured the IWCC that "hunting is a conservation tool that if done scientifically with robust monitoring will assist in the conservation of wildlife species."
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

That is interesting! Maybe PETA ran out of money?
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

Let's hope informed heads prevail at USFWS & the WH, and they re-open importation of Zimbabwe sports hunted ivory into the US. Hwange National Park and especially the surrounding BG hunting areas are hard hit by a large elephant overpopulation.
Elephant hunting by Americans is sorely needed in Zim. I plan to do my part with a tuskless in September.
