Wild Animals Are Not Disposable Inventory in a Warehouse. Why Trophy Hunting Can’t be Justified
Azzedine Downes, President and CEO, IFAW
The Earth is not a warehouse. And living, breathing animals are not inventory.
Pseudo-conservationists ( www.onegreenplanet.org/animals… ) often argue that we should focus solely on numbers, that only the size of wildlife populations matter. They largely ignore the complicated dynamics of ecosystem health, habitat range, and biodiversity.
