You have a point RP, but at this stage, I would rather the guys with these jobs, get swallowed into the system of conservation? These people already have an extended experience in the bush, and I would imagine in most cases would have huge experience in animal behaviour so surely they could be useful in other areas of conservation?Richprins wrote:I don't mind hunting at all!

If you wish your merit to be known, acknowledge that of other people.

Not sure, Fats...
Skinners, butchers, taxidermists, lodge staff, security staff, secretaries, financial staff, cleaners etc etc...
Not sure trackers and wildlife experience are great requirements for the canned industry?

There are so many unemployed in SA that a few more will not make much difference. Anything is better than canned lion hunting

Do you think that I have not thought of them?
Somebody is always going to pay and I agree that it is not fair, but who ever said that life is fair??
