The reason Deere and the American, like,

elk and all those populations are so strong today is because hunters spend billions and billions of dollars to manage that because who's going to go out there and what scientists are going to monitor the population costs a lot of money helicopters to monitor right game cams game wardens fuel ammunition operational costs staffing costs administrative costs you know

maintaining the vehicles that monitor the parks, all that stuff is a huge cost.

Well, Africa is fucked.

So what happens in Africa is if these parks weren't out of money, those game wardens will poach the animals themselves.

And then they'll make the money, and if funding comes back, they'll go back to protecting them.

But that guy is going to feed his family, and he doesn't give a fuck about that animal.

If he could feed his family by protecting it, he'll do it.

If he could feed his family by killing it, he'll do it.

Welcome to Africa.

It's fucked over there.

So everything we get is ethically sourced.

So let's say an elephant dies.

It gets hit by lightning.

It dies of natural causes.

It dies of old age, right?

It gets an infection.

It dies.

That happens.
