Apparently the argali ram is considered a nuisance because it competes with livestock for forage. I'm not a fan of trophy hunting at all, but if the locals are struggling to feed their herds because of this ram, it really isn't taking the moral high ground by protecting it.
article i read said he got a permit? it also said he had already shot one a year ago.
Very typical of trophy hunts in Asia and Africa. Can't say that I am a fan of what I feel is bloodlust, but it does benefit the locals far more than what is publicized. Just like the chick who was trashed over shooting a giraffe a few years ago, the permit helped the federal economy and the meat helped feed dozens of people in the local village.
I have to agree, its a real problem. Most Florida natives are descendants of white people who were too dumb to make it in the crop growing states to the north. They moved to the swamp to live off of gator meat and went back to being hunter gatherers. There is a significant amount of inbreeding in the bloodlines of these Florida natives. Also the gene pool wasn't significantly strong to begin with due to the swamp thing. That's why people who move to Florida from the north have such an easy time finding success there.
