organization, no. no animal must die. the reality of hunting is yes, there are a few places of hunting does make a difference. in many areas, the economic don t adds up. they don t generate a lot of money and the land is being losslos lossloss and corrupt country that we see, everything is fine. no, it is not fine, things are declining. what we do is run the camp and manage the area and we get a daily rate when farmers come to hunt here which subsidizes the money that i have to run my purchase. you can imagine all that dusts and dirt and rain and
tracking a lion to shoot it and take home the trophy. there was a challenge. there was a sense of sport. but what has happened in the last 10 or 15 years has been a growing segment of the hunting demographic which we refer to as the shooters. and the shooters may have to spend as much money as it takes to get a three-week permit. but if they can kill everything in the first two days, they ll do it and fly home. it s that mentality that really fed the birth of the canned hunting industry. basically, you go shopping at some import/export place, and you ve got your rug. you ve got your mantle piece. but it s not sport. it s just killing.

under. my dream is to carry on what my dad s doing, to carry on with the rhino breeding. unfortunately, i wouldn t breed rhino because it s too expensive and it s very high-risk. i mean, we ve had death threats here at the house. if i see what he s gone through in sort of the last 15 years, his financial position has got gradually worse and worst the more rhino he s acquired, you know? i have invested $50 million in this project. with virtually no return. this project will come to an end unless it is making money.
hunting. and teddy roosevelt bought into that when he hunted thousands of animals, something like 5,000 mammals and started to record all these kills. the hunters accounts of what they re doing makes me sick to my stomach sometimes about finding this amazing bull elephant and putting a bullet in the animals head. and that gives them a rush of excitement. now they cak that in money, conservation, helping people. so yeah, roosevelt is declaring all these parks national parks and protecting wilderness. but he is also killing thousands of animals at the same time because he wanted to be able to do that hunting. he wanted to be able to consume those wild animals. the hunting industry is trying to convince people that the way it was in roosevelt s time is the way it still is today. a hunter was somebody who was willing to go out and spend three weeks walking around on foot, tracking an elephant,
every day so i know that. i am not perro and i m not anti-. both of those approaches have met inases and not mit. because the motives behind the commercial acts are very seldom conservation-based. they are profit-based and they sell it to the public on the basis of it pays, it stays. just be for the rhinos, not for my cause. that s all i [ bleep ] want. be for the rhinos. try to keep them alive. that s all i m [ bleep ] asking everybody. you and i can sit and have a discussion. let me tell you something, if you an anti-trade then you are anti-legal trade. there are two things i want you to think about. firstly, you are keeping the money away from me which i need to protect my rhino. secondly, if you re anti-legal
