Are hunting allowed in African countries?

Some countries are allowed, they are the main source of national economy.

Take the statistics of 2007 as an example. In 23 African countries where hunting is allowed (such as Zimbabwe, South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, etc.). ), 18500 international hunters pay $200 million a year to hunt lions, cheetahs, rhinos and antelopes ... In these countries, privately-run hunting grounds control more than 6,543,800 square kilometers of land, more than the land owned by the state.

In these privately run hunting grounds, there will be special gun fields for hunters to train, professional hunters as guides, and international hunters to travel. Usually, an adult male needs three guides-one is responsible for tracking prey; One is responsible for eliminating environmental dangers and guiding marksmanship; There is also a person who is responsible for skinning the prey. To complete an ordinary hunting, national hunters need to pay the local government a fee ranging from 60 thousand to 70 thousand dollars. Killing a rhinoceros belonging to an endangered wild species costs about $654.38+$5,000.

According to a survey conducted by the Tourism and Leisure Research Institute of Northwest University in South Africa, more than half of the guests who come to South Africa for hunting and tourism are Americans, and most of the rest are from Europe. They are willing to pay a high price for this thrilling activity. For example, it costs $20,000 to shoot an elephant, $/kloc-0.7 million to shoot a lion, $8,000 to shoot a hippo and hundreds of dollars to shoot an antelope. Guests can also make trophies into specimens or meat products, of course, these costs are also high.
