Trophy hunting and hunting in general in South Africa is out of control. This has been observed and understood by the people of your country and citizens of the World. Yes, we do care exponentially about the future of South Africa's wildlife. Please understand that the world is watching and the example you set for the governments of Africa in general is observed as a benchmark for what they do to protect Wildlife. Please consider the future in hopefully eliminating these greed driven businesses. They operate under the false assumption of conservation and nothing could be further from the scientific truth. Consider this: The US is already positioned to ban the import of trophies and any related items to these cruel and destructive hunts. Monetary gains for your country can and will be realized on a much larger scale by promoting photo safari's. This is proven. With all considered, one thing especially stands out that must be permanently stopped and that is the inhumane practice of "canned hunting" which is, of course insane at the very least. The US has already implemented laws against animal abuse. The FBI has, as of 2016 classified animal abuse as a Tier 1 FELONY because of the DIRECT correlation to serial killers. For the sake of all the majestic animals of South Africa and Africa in general we ask that you implement laws of positive reform to conserve and protect those we "Share" this planet with. Thank you for your consideration. - Compassionate citizens of the world. - Michael Eddy eddymike56@aol.com
