Is Hunting Conservation? - The Often Highly Controversial Topic
Listen now
Description
Is Trophy Hunting Conservation? This week we have a respectful conversation with Jens Ulrik Høgh, an expert pro-hunter and outspoken defender of the hunting community, and Dr. Matthew Schurch, the Africa Wildlife Specialist at the world-renowned Humane Society International (HSI). Jens Ulrik Høgh is a seasoned hunting advocate and a hunter himself with experience in leading and participating in hunting trips. He's been involved in publishing hunting magazines since 1992 as both publisher, editor, and freelance writer/photographer specializing in guns and equipment, historical articles, and hunting reports. For the last few years, Jens has focused specifically on communicating the position of hunting to non-hunters through mass media in Denmark as well as internationally. He joins the podcast on behalf of the hunting community to help us understand how and why they do what they do. The Humane Society International (HSI) is an organization that stands up for animal protection in countries across Africa and in other parts of the world. HSI runs active campaigns to improve conditions for farmed animals as well as our own wildlife that roams the African plains. They address issues such as what they call inhumane practices and conditions revolving around animal welfare, illegal wildlife trade, threats to endangered species, the slaughter of marine mammals, the use of animals in research and testing, the suffering of animals for the fur trade, and more.
