This has nothing to do with other countries. It has to do with not allowing the trade here. I support most of what Trump does but this one is just plain wrong.
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

More left ignorance of how conservation, wildlife management, and "herd health" work.
Culling the herd is a critical part of keeping it vibrant and healthy. SPECIFIC ANIMALS are tagged for culling , for beig too old to contribute to the breeding health of the herd, sickness, etc.
Substantial fees are paid to the conservation/poaching/game management operations of the nations involved for the right to hunt these specifically chosen for culling animals. It is one of the PRIMARY WAYS preserves, etc., are financed.
Any edible meat taken, is the property of the nearest village, to be eaten.
Please explain how the "left outrage" is anything more than emotional nonsense . based in IGNORANCE of the Real World...the left's "special gift"......
De Oppresso Liber
Unlike deer, gestation for an elephant is 22 months and the mother may not give birth again until their 15-year-old is ready to go out on its own, as elephants mature slowly and are not born knowing most of what they need to know to survive the hostile savannah. Minimally a cow will not reproduce again until the calf is fully weaned, which is at about 3 years of age and then only if there is a great support system i.e. a large herd of cows. On average they may give birth every 5 years. Elephants are similar to humans, being far more reliant on education than instinct. Under eight years old calves spend 80% of their time within 16 feet of their mother and 91% of their time within 16 feet of another adult family member. In fact, immature elephants spend more than half of their time 3 feet or less from another family member. Large herds contain many allomothers, who help raise the immature elephants, comprised of cows without young and often older females. It's the elephant version of it taking a village to raise children. Also, like humans, they are very long-lived i.e. 70 years in the wild. This is not a species prone to overpopulation.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
