The "save the animals" crowd would do much better to focus on the scourge that is local poaching fed by the Asian markets than hunting - which is always a partner in conservation worldwide.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

But I don't think the "low information" masses distinguish between poachers and hunters. Since they believe it's no longer legal to kill any lion, leopard, or elephant anywhere they think any posting of a dead one of these must mean somebody paid someone off to shoot one. The relationship between hunting and conservation isn't easily explained in a "tweet". If the social media kids can't just "like" something quickly and move on to when the next iphone is coming out, they're not going to engage their brains to actually understand a complicated subject.

They don't care to know. Facts for even the whole Cecil the lion deal are out there. Look at all the threats the dentist family and co-works got. No rational behind their hate nor their humanization of wild animals. Sad deal in the end, only wildlife left we'll be those protected by landowners.
