160: Safari Club International with Ben Cassidy

Today, we continue the exploration of the public perception of hunting, the issue of social license to hunt and some current topics related to hunting. Certain issues such as the use of lead in hunting ammunition or the attempts to ban the import of certain animal parts, aka trophy import ban, often hit the headlines. And there is no better person to talk about it than Ben Cassidy who is the Executive Vice President for International Government and Public Affairs at Safari Club International.This episode also serves as a great introduction to the SCI for those who might not be that familiar with this organisation. That could be particularly relevant to my European listeners who might have heard about SCI but don’t know much about the organisation and their work. One thing is for sure, whether it’s North America, Europe or anywhere else in the world, hunting is facing the same challenges and learning how hunters in different parts of the world are dealing with them is beneficial to all.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookMentioned in this episode:DOWNLOAD:How to Get Started in Deer Hunting in IrelandThe Hunter Conservationist Podcast brings you nuanced content about conservation, science and responsible hunting in Canada, so you can stay topped up on issues concerning your outdoor, hunting and fishing lifestyle, stay current on the latest in wildlife conservation, science and responsible hunting and be entertained by conversations with intellectual thinkers.The Hunter Conservationist Podcast
