Putting the "Con" in "Conservation" Billboards

Killing is not conservation, and if Peace 4 Animals and World Animal News have anything to do with it, then the U.S. is going to see billboards plastered all across the nation. Recently, billboards speaking out against trophy hunting were erected near airports in Los Angeles and Chicago and have already garnered significant attention. Activists across the country are clamouring to get these billboards erected in their communities to speak out against what is widely known as the most hypocritical approach to conservation, trophy hunting.

Voting is currently underway to have the next billboard erected in the winners city and there are a great number of people interested in seeing the billboard erected in their hometown. Billboard advertisements are long thought to be on the way out with the digital age upon us, but there is no denying the power of advertising especially when it comes to something so very important. It's great to see so many people took notice and now want to see the billboard in their own cities. 

I've said this plenty of times before through my animal news posts and even in my animal news videos, slaughtering animals does NOT help with conservation. It's idiotic to think that killing endangered animals is somehow helping to preserve a species I mean c'mon, even saying it outloud makes absolutely no sense.

The reality is, trophy hunters suggest that money brought to a community through trophy hunting goes directly towards conservation which perhaps is true, but when there are no more elephants or lions left to preserve, how effective was hunting them all to extinction?

I'm so tired of hearing about trophy hunting. Frankly, anyone who believes they need the tusks of an elephant or a lions head mounted on their wall is a despicable, selfish, and thoughtless human being. Someone who wants to fulfill their own sickening desires by taking the life of a majestic, wild, and in most cases, endangered animal, needs to be evaluated for mental problems.

These billboards prove that the world is changing. They prove that the world is turning against trophy hunting and its supposed benefits. These billboards signify what I would hope is a beginning to an end when it comes to discussing conservation and trophy hunting in the same sentence. Only a fool would ever assume that slaughtering endangered animals will help in any way when it comes to conservation and these billboards certainly reinforce what I'm saying. 

It's time to put trophy hunting to an end. It's time to bury a sport that revolves around killing. It's time to stop pretending that killing animals is acceptable let alone beneficial. I truly hope that we see an end to this blood sport and soon because there are several endangered animals whose lives and existence depend on it.
