More poachers! Yay! NOT..

Bad decision. Just like “Trickle Down Economics” “Trickle Down Environmentalism” is a farce. Under Trump, the wealthy have never had it so good.

This may be an emotional response, but I believe there is something wrong with killing animals for fun. I just don't get it. Not that I want to outlaw hunting or anything like that. I do liken this kind of activity to kids abusing small animals and using dogs/cats for target practice.

The poachers are the bad guys - and they aren’t going to pay a fee ... and neither would Trump, he’d pass the cost on for someone else to pay.
Rich people don’t pay for things - they are paid so the businesses can get free publicity when rich-guy is seen.

not if those trophies are from poachers as most are which is why countries all over the world are baking big game animal parts from being imported

Culling the herd as long as it’s controlled

Note that there are several other important points to be made about the specific elements of the decision, like that it only addresses Zambia and Zimbabwe and only lasts for a designated period of time. The important criticism folks in the media have been making, though, is the administration's claim that enabling legal trophy hunting actually helps the animals being hunted, which is true in many circumstances.

In summary, legal trophy hunting allows a source of revenue to go to the local communities in developing countries where illegal hunting usually keeps money from them. This allows management of the wild animal population which can be a threat to their livestock or agriculture. It also allows greater funding for the maintenance of reserve land and a means for protecting other members of the species. Most importantly, it gives a significant incentive to conserve the populations of these animals that developing countries wouldn't naturally prioritize.
