5. The money they spend on permits and fees brings money into the countries. This

can cause landowners to support, rather than kill, endangered animals. Killing
aggressive senior “large” animals gives younger males a chance to reproduce.
6. Little of the revenue from permits and fees actually goes to wildlife conservation. Nature
tourism generates much more money than trophy hunting. Very little of the money from
trophy hunting makes it to the places where the hunting actually takes place. It is our
responsibility to protect endangered wildlife, not kill it.
