While trophy hunting is fucked up, I'd like to remind people that hunting as done by regular people and not this millionaire bozo is a critical aspect of conservation.
Hunting keeps deer and elk from overpopulating and stressing the habitats of other wild life. It is the only thing that keeps prion diseases in these populations in check. Hunters are a necessity because humans have displaced and culled apex predators who played the same role.
So you're saying we need more lions and tigers and bears? Oh my
Is that an Epic Rap Battles reference in the wild?
It's actually a wizard of Oz reference 🤣
Right, ERB just referenced it. TIL I guess.
They do tend to make a lot of references! I don't know the one you're referring to though
It's in the Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the great video, in the verse by Frederick the great.
