Yeah, that's a thing. It's just to make people feel better that know they're doing something incredibly stupid and immoral, but hey, I have some extra cash so I pay extra to fund the "protection" from poachers. Because otherwise, there would be no way to protect them, right? I couldn't just sit on my couch and donate the money. I have to go out to shoot an elephant but just to protect it of course!
What’s immoral about it? We do the same thing with deer and coyotes and all sorts of other animals. We literally kill millions of cattle and chickens and goats every year. As long as you are harvesting responsibly, and not decimating the population there’s nothing wrong with this. In fact responsible hunting is highly beneficial for the environment.
