Hold fire on hunting

TO GIVE, OR NOT TO GIVE, PERMITS TO INTERNATIONAL HUNTERS, that is the question.
No matter what the outcome, the groundswell of opinion will remain against granting permits as the argument to support trophy hunting is simply not plausible: The money earned from the business will in return support the protection of wildlife.
It means that some wild animals have to be killed to provide better protection for the rest. But if we can provide protection for some, then why not for all?
