This part is the end to the article. The rest of it is well worth the read.

Still like the money quote from one story... ‘Where is the world’s care for those who are killed in the villages by animals?’
If you treat something like a resource, and make it profitable to care for that resource, you’ll keep that resource. If you don’t, well, we’ve seen what happens. The old finger of shame... Meanwhile, people starve.
I wonder how many of the dentist’s employees are now out of work while everyone’s busy shaming him and making threats against him?

The destruction of property rights led to a disintegrating economy and widespread poverty. Poaching to feed the insatiable demand for rhino horn and ivory in China and other parts of Asia became rife and much of the wildlife in Zimbabwe was simply wiped out. I can't believe they said it.
The other point - $50K in hunts fees most definitely winds up in the pockets of Mugabe or his cronies.

Poaching! The Chinese chemist who sell Rino Horn do those with Erectile dysfunction...it brings them millions of $$$$. Poaching for ivory...killing/nay murdering magnificent elephants for their tusks. Poaching should carry the death penalty....and "doctors" who sell Rino or other animal parts for sexual virility should also face hard labor and loss of license if they ever had one. Poachers and Money and unbelievably calloused people who want to hang dead things for show should be shunned everywhere.

And what of the lions that die every day in Africa....don't their lives matter??
Or do only lions who are killed by people matter?

Mugabe has the signal honor of being the worst thing that happened to ‘Zimbabwe’ and arguably the worst thing that has happened to any post-colonial nation in Africa. He has earned these two awards because, like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps going and going and going. Other bad rulers had a much shorter half life but this guy has stayed on to completely ruin his country. And The West will not do anything about it. Wonder why.

It’s a major business there. A search on internet reveals hundreds of stories, advertizements, descriptions, of the hunts, etc. Below is just a small example:
” A paradise for big game hunters!
Zimbabwe is without doubt the absolutely greatest destination for big game hunting. Here you can find solid populations, that can easily sustain hunting, of four of the big five: elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard. We work with some of the best safari outfitters in this classic hunting destination, which is naturally mirrored in the success of our customers.”
