There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Now if you dissect Varty's response you see multiple things
One is,
He loves big cats (I have no doubt about it)
Two is,
He needs money to by more land and is willing to hunt big cats to do so.
So when I dissect this, I see very contradictive ideas.
If he wants to conserve these cats, why strive for money to increase land in africa?
They are hybrids, can never be released in India or Africa, they will be used for "awareness and tourism"
So my opinion is this:
This is the same song sung by Circus's, Zoos and wild life parks.
His private funders who are the investors in this venture get the money, they dictate where it goes, he doesn't not. So there is no guarantee that his claim of wanting to by more land is even in their plans.
I think if you turly wanted to save you would never allow any man to hunt them. What was originally the cause of the greatest decline of big cats in history?
Hunting, so why allow it in a time where we fight so hard to stop poaching?
We also don't know what will happen to these carcasses after they are hunted.
Are they going to be sold back to the black market, lets not forget. Their bones and organs will fetch serious money.
Just too much can go wrong and is unspoken to allow this. IMO
