These hunts and why does it always seem to be fat americans! are a source of revenue for these farms, who can then plough the money back into the breeding programme/infrastructure of the country. It's my understanding that not all of the more exotic animals are hunted and they are bred to keep them from extinction.

Like I say, not really sure where I stand on it, but could not pull the trigger, I think because there is no skill involved, or is it cos they had dopey eyes.
