I watched a show recently about this interesting phenomina in Texas.

Yes there are big game ranches now in Texas. Hunters look for an even bigger score pay big money to hunt on these ranches.

And yes, it does help preserve certain endangered species in that the spirit of capitalism and making a profit spurs these ranch-owners to keep their land stocked with such prey. Were it not for these big ranches a lot of the species currently thriving on them would go extinct if left on their own in their African native habitat.

The thing that is somewhat...eh, I dunno, perhaps a sort of politcally unpleasant truth is that endangered species are saved more by “greed” than by the wonderful intent of the animal nuts.

Which made me ponder that perhaps these animal protectionists goofballs care more about their internal good feelings than they really do about the animals they profess to want to protect.
