This Is My Show

I’ve been thinking about this photo. The truth is that Africans don’t only go to jail for poaching (and I think anyone who poaches should be jailed tbh) they are also going to jail for hunting. Basically indigenous people hunting for food are being treated as poacher, while white people are allowed to hunt for fun on their ancestral land. Just read about what’s happening with the San people in Botswana. It’s outrageous.

The royal family of Dubai just “bought” a large tract of land for their own private trophy hunting purposes and thousands of Masai are going to be evicted from their ancestral lands. Foreign money is more important than native people or conservation, apparently.
