A law should be put in place that bans all hunting of rare animals...If there's less then 10,000 of such species the punishment should be harsh.
20 years in prison.
I'm a liberal and I think what you're proposing is really stupid. Oh, and like you, I take a really dim view of trophy hunting.
Why? The longer we don't put real teeth behind the crime of trophy hunting the more species are going to die.
How's about jurisdiction for one thing ?
Last I heard there are no African lions roaming the plains of America.
