The segment of 60 Minutes shared above shows how American wildlife ranchers are developing herds of endangered African species, providing a form of protection for the genetic heritage represented by those large mammals. Some of the ranches sell hunting rights. There appears to be a movement to prevent this from happening because people don't like the fact that animals are killed. Moreover, it appears likely that a law will be passed preventing ranchers from this kind of wildlife farming.
I no longer hunt, and I don't like killing animals for sport. However, I am willing to go along with the business if it serves to develop herds of endangered species in places where they can be scientifically maintained.
It is illogical to argue against hunting these animals in service of a greater good, while no one suggests that we should stop eating meat or stop using leather.
