Can legalised-hunting help conservation?

[sanjay]

I agree that killing of animal cannot be part of conservation. But real problem is money.
I have question to all of our forum members and the visitors who read this topic.
We know that we all love animal but in spite that how many of us has spent a decent amount in wild animal conservation, program or even in tourism?
And if any how much? Even the big photographer, biologist, zoologist and other expert like (Valmik Thapper) Struggled to make money and thus they turned into hotel/resort and tourism business.
I have lot of connection on facebook and I am sure you will also have but most of them are wildlife amateur photographer or enthusiasm who only want to count the likes and comment on their images and posts. Its type of war among them. I have never seen someone really truly involve in conservation effort. Even they tend to neglect any post like and information about conservation. So big question is why? I think its conservation is real tough and low paying job, no one wants to do it, only wants to talk about it and wants to keep themselves on good side.

Let’s talk about John Varty (JV) and let’s put aside the debate what he is doing is wrong or right.
He has made lot of expense to make tiger secure growing and spreading in tiger canyon, Now since tiger is increasing he needs more land, Do you think the money he is getting from tourism will help to acquire him more lands? Obviously No.

Now consider if he has 16 tiger and 2 of them are old and not fertile to bring more cubs. So if he get $80,000 dollars for hunting each one of them, He will get $160,000 Which is certainly lot of money with in less time that can be used to acquire land and spread his tiger population.
Basically sacrifice to 2 infertile tiger may bring the better future for the upcoming new generation of tiger in tiger canyon.
So point is if trophy hunting done in right way may help conservation program?
Though I still think it’s highly debatable and good topic to put your view. I suggest you to join and put your view
