This is an excellent point! I thought of this too, that why would reversing a ban on something so harmful to these animals, bring a positive from it.
Dave has this right. Predation, and this is what hunting is, is an important aspect of keeping a population healthy especially when the population is at risk of overpopulation. These elephants are endangered, thus the "thinning the herd" argument does not apply here. |
