Should governments sanction countries which allow hunting of endangered animals?

[robocop666]

Hunting is regulated in developed countries. Many species are protected and the ones that are allowed to be hunted have seasons.

Most developed countries have only recently banned Ivory and Lion trophies imports.

It is not illegal to hunt elephants and other endangered animals. To hunt a Lion or Elephant is as easy as going on holiday. You just book it with your credit card. African nations allow this. Should they be sanctioned for doing this?

Russia and central Asian countries have all colluded to protect the Snow Leopard but thats about it.

It is mostly rich people from "civilised" countries that hunt endangered species.

If you want to protect wildlife, ban rich people from visiting these countries.

ok how you gonna enforce that?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Monitor their activities closely and arrest them once they return.

[robocop666]

I don't think you can do that.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Why? Most of those bastards even post their shit on social media.

[robocop666]

thats how people get caught. Some idiots in Pakistan shot a snow leopard and posted it online and went to jail. Some idiot shoplifted and the shop saw the top on their social media and rang the police.

[laly520]

yes

but certain rich group won't allow that

[robocop666]

who?

[standardguy]

Yes, that should be normal to do so.

Like most people I thought it was but its not. You can buy a trip to hunt elephants just like any other holiday.
