      Me personally? I donate $15 a month to an older lady who keeps little old dogs out of shelters and we give $250 a month to our local humane society, we also license our pets to help fund it.

      Next question

        Good job!

        I played the odds with my comment because statistically people who donate anything are the vast minority.

        Honest question. Not an attack. Do you get anything from donating? Like some merch or tax deductions or even a thank you note or something?

        Do you think that getting something would invalitade the whole charity?

        Most if not all exotic big game hunts are marked animals that are either dying or harmfull for the ecosystem, so they are going to shortly die to malnutrion, by being hunted by other animals or if necessary by the park ranger.

        I dont generally like trophy hunting, but i also understand that without the money it generates, places that offer it would not exist and that would mean the people running those places would not protect the animals from things like poaching or unsustainable hunting.

        Some places can make do with only charity and tourism, but many places would cease to be without the additional money.

        If trophy hunting would stop, the money rich people are spending would go somewhere else like ski trip on the alps or new yacht.
