Elephant in the room! It is an eye-opening book for the people of the world, Africa, particularly Trophy Hunters, Organisations opposed to hunting, Government and Tourist. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC), states that well-managed trophy hunting can provide both revenue and incentives for people to conserve and restore wild populations, maintain areas of land for conservation, and protect wildlife from poaching. The question is what you are saying about this, do you have the idea what it mean by trophy hunting. Elephant in the room: The book is about the wild animals that are in declining, the biggest threat to then. The report on elephants, rhino and lions on trophy hunting, reminds us that the problems wild animals’ faces are actually much broader and more damaging than most people realize. The biggest question is Can South Africa and Africa ban trophy hunting? Many peoples are saying trophy hunting is no longer necessary in a modern world. What is trophy hunting and who is hunting and why. Debates surrounding trophy hunting centrally concern not only the question of the morality of recreational hunting and supposed conservation efforts of big-game and ranch hunting, but also the observed decline in animal species that are targets for trophy hunting. How does trophy hunting compare to photographic tourism? And that South Africa had the largest hunting industry in terms of numbers of operators, visiting hunters, animals shot and revenues generated. Elephant at the other hand and for years, animal rights’ activists and anti-culling groups have pleaded for conservationists to use birth control methods to lower elephant population numbers rather than embarking on mass killings. In the past, elephant management decisions were largely based on carrying capacity. Lion bones, which can substitute for tiger bones, are used in East Asian countries including China as medicinal remedies said to treat a wide range of ailments from insomnia to osteoporosis. The other parts of lions such as whiskers, fat and tails have always had a traditional value and use in many African nations as medicines, talismans and components of ceremonial and ritual practices. Before the lion never had any traditional value in China, but it’s an analog to the tiger so it seems to be acceptable. Illegal trade remains difficult because, despite lions’ declining populations, there is actually still a legal trade in lion bones. The things that most of us do not know are that the demand of lion’s bones is growing every day. Customs officials that are trying to block illegal shipments of ivory or rhino horn have started to notice lion parts nestled inside the same containers. The conservation world started to become increasingly nervous about where the trade might be headed and what impact it would have on wild populations. As the price of bones is rising steadily, some breeders have started slaughtering their own lions, without obtaining a permit or getting a vet to put the animal to sleep, says a fraud inspector. The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has raised concerns that the demand for lion bones could potentially threaten South Africa’s 2,000 wild lions. On the other hand TB on the lions looks like malaria and know is killing more lions than before. Lions are thought to contract TB from infected prey species, especially buffalo, being exposed to the bacterium that causes the disease when they eat infected animals. Rhino No one could ever understand that your horn is for you, the details about the use of the rhino horn. And all the questions you may have about elephants, rhino, buffalo, leopard, hippo, cheetah and lions.
