Cougars and coyotes are pretty scarce in Africa.

You can hunt rhinos in places, but it cost at least a quarter million dollars or more to shoot one. To hunt all those animals in the photos was probably at least half a million dollars; probably more (really).
Animals like elephants and rhinos never retreat or hide since their natural defense is to stand their ground. Shooting either is as hard as shooting the side of a barn (which is the main reason rhinos are endangered, easy to shoot and have a valuable horn). When we were there, lions also walk up to safari vehicles and sit in the shade of the vehicles (which was cool until one of the vehicles got stuck in the mud and the occupants had to get out and push).
The leopard would be the only one of those animals that would be fairly challenging to shoot (unless it was in the tree). The other animals wouldn't be a challenge at all.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Something to consider is the money from these expensive hunting licenses is put back into preservation of the species. In many cases if it were not for costly hunting licenses there would be no money to protect the species as a whole. People that actually understand how the whole system works are applauding the funding for preservation she has provided.

Hunting is certainly a part of conservation, especially here in the US where the natural food chain has been disrupted and hunters are absolutely required. I think this is just a girl promoting her TV show by generating a controversy - she probably started the petition on FB herself. I certainly didn't know anything about the photos until reading this story, and now everyone will tune in. People who understand these kinds of things know that both sides are being manipulated.

Rhinos and leopards definitely are endangered.
You can hunt rhinos in places, but it cost at least a quarter million dollars or more to shoot one. To hunt all those animals in the photos was probably at least half a million dollars; probably more (really).

As I understand it the hardest part of killing elephants and Rhino's with a bow is keeping the PH (required) from shooting them with a gun after the shot as they normaly charge after being shot with a bow.
It seem a couple of years ago I remember a guy in Provo (professor? BYU?) getting a lot flack for the same thing with a Rhino in the name of science.
It depends on your outlook if this is good or bad. I don't think anybody is going to get their mind changed.
PS Chicks with bows are hot!

Of course scott p would argue without reading...
One particular photo, in which she posed alongside an extremely endangered rhinoceros, had her critics especially steaming, but the Texas Tech cheerleader says it was alive and well.
'The vet drew blood, took DNA samples, took body and head measurements, treated a leg injury and administered antibiotics. I felt very lucky to be part of such a great program and procedure that helps the White Rhino population through conservation,' she wrote.

From your link (did you read it?):
Jones says her first kill was a rare African white rhino, part of her quest to bag the Big 5 African game animals.

PS, what are you saying was an argument? I merely stated the cost of doing something like this and said that other than a leopard, it probably wasn't very challenging. Do you disagree with either point?
People that actually understand how the whole system works are applauding the funding for preservation she has provided.
As for the hunting and conservation thing, it could be argued either way and I chose not to go there. They do charge big bucks to hunt there and the money is supposed to go to some of the parks.
I will say however is that the main reason for the increase in numbers of some of the threatened and endangered animals down there is because now days the penalties for poaching are extremely severe. Some African countries have even proposed death on the spot for poachers. Plus it's getting much harder to sell such animal products.
PS, when we were in Africa last, it was legal to "hunt" African animals with paint balls (made of biodegradable vegetable oil). It sounds silly, but now days, that's how many people "hunt" in Africa (seriously).Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Perfectly legal kill and I applaud her and her dad for taking such a trip.
Thats the problem with endangered species, the left thinks everything they don't see daily is endangered, case in point here.
Now if your jealous of her dad spending his money on a great trip with his daughter, I can't help you.I'm not Spartacus

After more than a century of protection and management, they are now classified as Near Threatened and about 20,000 animals exist in protected areas and private game reserves. They are the only rhinos that are not endangered.
