Hunting Safari's in Africa

[Atul Sinai]

Just came across a website that offers Hunting Safari's in Africa

http://www.ct-safaris.com/index.html

It was very disturbing to see something like this being officially run.

The homepage of this insane website says

"Welcome!

Whether you want to hunt the Big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard & Buffalo) or any of the other game species in Southern Africa with rifle, handgun or bow... Chris Troskie Safaris make African hunting affordable without compromising on the quality of the experience."

Sad but true. There is a hunters lobby who promote themselves as conservationists. Their rationale is that by hunting these animals, one is able to protect others. There have been some discussions on this topic before. Please check here: thoughts of an ex poacher - Indiawilds: Land of the Tiger. Conservation, Wildlife Photography, Communities
