A link about anti poaching by a hunting outfitter? What point are you trying to make. Nearly all outfitters in Africa spend more time on anti poaching than any NGO or greenie group.
The Duckworth family reside close to my town. They sometimes go on holiday to my little seaside resort and I've often chatted to them on the beach fishing. Good people.
There are many animals people regard as sentinant. So what? They are complex and have varying degrees of social bonding, thought and cognitive structure? It does not mean they cannot be sustainably utilized.
Our subsidiary has a complete elephant research unit that has constant student research programs and doctorate on going, mostly all NOT funded by any greenies.
You would do well on reading up on the True Green Alliance and getting a better grasp on conservation and more importantly elephant utilisation.

Yes there are, hunting is one of them, contraception isn’t effective and it doesn’t solve the immediate problem either. Relocation is way too expensive and only viable for a very, very, small number of animals. So again had not real impact. But it seems you don’t oppose the wholesale eradication of animals so long as it’s not by hunting or culling, let them and the the animals they have impacted starve. That’s ok?
Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.
