Lion Spy

While I don't like killing a lion for example, I cannot agree with this lady. I worked in the wildlife industry and trophy hunting in most cases does indeed fund conservation. The reality is that if the animals cease to exist they cannot be hunted, that is why the money goes back into breeding, breeding to be hunted I suppose. There will always be hunters and there will always be tourists. You will always have both. I for one will not be judged by people who cannot even device what gender they are. Africa is not a poor continent, it is in fact the richest continent. It has aways bee exploited and been run by corrupt people. Fix the corruption and everyone will be happy.

This is a disgrace, nothing more than anti-hunting propaganda, spinning the narrative that money from hunting does not go back into conservation despite the overwhelming evidence that it does. This is a distasteful portrayal of hunting with a story and cinematography engineered to portray a biased and damaging view point. There are no balanced interviews or arguments. This is massively damaging and does a total disservice to everyone in Africa who is successful managing their ecosystem to the benefit of all the wildlife they support. This film/documentary aims at exposing why wild lion populations are declining and not once mentions the undisputed number one threat to wild lions - habitat loss. Shame on all involved.
