What the. . At THIIS moment s hunting party is going after another Amboselli tusker I am nauseous

#Elephants There are only ten super-tuskers left in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. Elephant hunting is illegal in Kenya, but these elephants are vulnerable to trophy hunting when crossing into Tanzania, where hunting elephants with a license is legal.

@CWitvrouwen Attrocious !!!!!🤬😡

Outrage as 100 lions shot dead by British trophy hunters since 2015 - and it could even more Figures released by the Government show 80% of the lions shot by Britons were bred to be killed in enclosed fields in what is known as ‘"canned hunting" mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/o…

This is what's wrong with this world. Teaching one's 4 year old child that there is nothing wrong to take another life. Sick. 🤬RT #BanTrophyHunting @_Pehicc @SARA2001NOOR @Angelux1111 @Gail7175 @DidiFrench @Lin11W @julie_dutto @CWitvrouwen

@CWitvrouwen 🤬🤬🤬This will never stop … these greedy humans !!!

This is infuriating. How low is Tanzania sinking into trying to appease foreign trophy hunters? In recent months, trophy hunters have killed two super tuskers – bulls with at least one 100-pound tusk – close to Tanzania’s border with Kenya. africageographic.com/stories/trophy…

@ProtectWldlife What a piece of Sh#%*🤬🤬🤬

I am still unable to comprehend how ANYONE can gain ANY pleasure from killing living beings… ….unless they are PSYCHOPATHS!!! 🤬🤬

Hamba kahle Hamba. Hamba had his brother to hunt with. Now, since his brother was shot as a 'trophy', he's been seen wandering alone and afraid. How can anyone support this?

#SouthAfrica Alleged #rhino #poaching kingpin, #JoeNyalungu, granted bail AGAIN! 😡🤬Despite what Magistrate Phuka referred to as ‘overwhelming’ evidence against him, he was released on R10 000 bail. His case was postponed to March 22, 2024. #NoBailJail citizen.co.za/lowvelder/news…

@goldenheart1995 @RobertHyes2 @NusbaumVirginia 💔💔💔💔💔

@RobertHyes2 @NusbaumVirginia I’m so sorry!

Today Cecil had a seizure, fell in the pool and drowned. I am a complete wreck. I tried to save him and failed. I am so beyond attached to that little guy that I cannot fathom being in my house without him. This year is truly the worst year of my life 😭😭

@AmyDickman4 @Melindola @IzakSmit @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 And why isn’t the researcher not consulted .. ???? Surely he should be the first to talk about this lion as WELL the monitoring team … 3 mnths later with NO positive identification ,that this lions has been the culprit !!

@Melindola @IzakSmit @de_lhra @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 The desert lions aren't doing well, but my point was that it's important to focus on why. It is a very marginal area for them & conflict is key. TH may add extra pressure (I have some concerns about conflating TH & PAC), but this singular focus on TH won't address the root issues

How do the hunting conservationists justify what is happening to desert lions? @AmyDickman4 @LionLandscapes

@AmyDickman4 @Melindola @IzakSmit @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 Ai Amy ,why do we have a researcher who posted just a day before about this Male meeting up with this lone Desert lioness ( actually the same as Lady Liuwa) And this should be good for the elusive Skeletoncoast lions to pick up in nrs

@AmyDickman4 @IzakSmit @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @Melindola @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 We have the need to argue against it .. for sure we’ll do that !!

@de_lhra @IzakSmit @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @Melindola @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 Of course they shouldn't automatically be 'deemed ripe', no one is saying that. The hunting here seems to stem largely from conflict, so that seems the key issue to address. Amazed people feel the need to argue against that ...

@ulrik_gh @aldwyn Typical hunter

@ProtectWldlife The answer is yes!!

Was Namibia’s Collared Black Maned Desert Lion Mwezi Illegally Killed By Trophy Hunters Aided By The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism? Was the tracking system of the satellite collar abused to locate Mwezi in a protected area. @de_lhra protectallwildlifeblog.com/2023/10/19/was…

@AmyDickman4 @ConservationNa1 Really .. yes ,he MUST take it up with is .. will be very interesting what he is thinking .. most likely the same yhan you and the hunting fraternity

@de_lhra @ConservationNa1 Maybe you should explain what's wrong, then, share your proof & take it up with them?

The Press Release of MEFT The facts inside that report are not correct @AmyDickman4 @ConservationNa1

@IzakSmit @de_lhra @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @Melindola @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 An argument for what? If you have a large enough, well functioning lion population then you would usually expect male takeovers so older males aren't breeding. Highlights the pressures the pop is under & the key of addressing HWC in particular.

@AmyDickman4 @IzakSmit @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @Melindola @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 i know that mostly in-breeding is a direct consequence of loss of adult males to trophy hunting! see Dr Philip Standers publication on skewed gender ratio in Desert Lions 2010.

@IzakSmit @de_lhra @CWitvrouwen @ConservationNa1 @Melindola @LionLandscapes @BornFreeFDN @OfficialZSL @domdyer70 And they have been passed on I presume, multiple times. Presumably you know of the risks of inbreeding depression in small populations?
