Years back Capstick wrote about this with leopards: when they could be legally hunted and brought back as trophies it paid for farmers and ranchers to put up with livestock losses due to the money they could make leasing out land for hunting; make it illegal, no hunters, so the farmers & ranchers were shooting & poisoning the cats to cut down on livestock predation.
Wow. I did a post about this a few days back. I personally guided hunts for all of these animals. They will all be gone inside of 20 years if they do not have value to the ranchers. I didn’t know they were doing a piece on it. The madness takes effect in April.
