Last Week’s Leaked Video of NRA Leader Shooting Elephant Shows Peril for Wildlife in Southern Africa
WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES, May 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ The video released last week by The New Yorker of a hunting gambit by National Rifle Association (NRA) chief Wayne LaPierre reminds us why Botswana and South Africa have a duty to close their doors to foreign trophy hunters who care not a whit for the well-being or conservation of wildlife and who kill for the most transparent and self-aggrandizing purposes.
In 2013, LaPierre and his wife Susan, with a crew in tow from the NRA’s “Wild Skies” show, flew to Botswana for hunting as theater. The staged production was intended to show that the NRA honcho, often seen on news shows in a Zegna suit, is comfortable getting his hands bloody, just like so many other NRA members do on their hunting excursions.
