This is refreshing to see. So many people are ignorant about conservation. These places like you said actually keep the population in check and the wildlife healthy, vs watching an old animal starve to death… because nature. Animal lovers can be some of the dumbest and most ignorant people out there. A lot of them would literally put animals through years of agony because they are “rescuing” them.
Thanks, and in just glad I didn’t get down voted into oblivion.
There’s sociopaths on both sides. The insane animal people would rather suicide our species because they can’t think any other way. Then there’s definitely insane people on the hunting side that think being driven to shoot a sleeping lion is some fundamental human right to which they are entitled by virtue of penning a gun. Both are terrible.
O %100 agree with that. I ran a private rescue with my own money for over a decade, and I have seen shit that makes me think humanity is better off going extinct, but I have also seen the good side of it as well. It’s the extremes that unfortunately ruin it. Euthanasia of an animal should always be an option vs trying to put something through hell for months only have it die anyways. We’re supposed to their caretakers and guardians, yet so many will choose their own selfishness because they don’t want to do the right thing and help the animal pass peacefully. Conservation at least does this and helps the animals…but a lot of people see just some rich dude killing a lion…not that they killed a lion that literally was going to starve in the next year, not that the 100k+ to hunt the animal paid for keeping the sanctuary running and pochers at bay, not that it helps a poverished village that exists on the reservation access to food and water…they just see some rich dentist posing on Facebook…

Ooooooh, wow. Thank you for your service. For real, I imagine the animals part was relatively easy compared to dealing with the humans.
Humans is what made me stop. A lot of people who own animals are terrible.
