    “There were Germans, French, English … people from all Western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians,” said Ezio Gavazzeni, the investigative writer.

      Safari tourism is so deeply linked with european colonialism and racism, so this isnt surprising. Idk why people even on the left imagine a humanity into the western elites, which isnt present. I assume its people who havent deprogrammed their liberalism.

      I’m reminded of when I read someone say that white lions were hunted to extinction in (Algeria? Can’t recall the specific African country), implying the citizens had wiped them out; I googled the country and the year the white lion went extinct and surprise surprise, it was under French occupation and it was the French who’d hunted them to extinction (apparently with other species too).
