    If all the energy directed towards him was instead turned to pressure on the authorities to change / abolish the sale of licenses would that not better protect the animals?
    Its catch-22.

    Moral outrage doesn't need any laws to be broken, but few people realise that leagal hunting (where they sell licences etc) can do more for the protection in raised funds than donations can alone

      Won't somebody think of the children? Did Hitler have anything to do with it?

        If they stopped hunting and issued photography only licenses any idiot in the park with a weapon becomes fair game.
        Perhaps they could use something like this

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              The authorities sell licenses becasue the demand is there. If they withdraw licenses then hunting would simply drop off the radar and result in more illegal hunts / poaching. The license fees also contribute a lot to the running of game reserves and anti-poaching operations.

              Remove the demand and there would be no need for licenses.
