Compared with less wealthy people, wealthier people have much spare money to develop their interests and arrange their spare time. Hunting tourism requires large areas of free ground or near reservations, places with such conditions almost all located in less developing countries which they are relying on the income from wildlife and natural attractions. Calculating the probability, I assume that wealthier people are more likely from developed countries than developing countries. emand causes supply, so I think developed countries have more responsibilities to protect animals in other countries. The issues occurred during hunting tourism are plenty, such as remove livelihood, reduce protected areas and drive more people and resources into hunting. Nowadays, more and more people debating over whether should restrict or just forbidden hunting tourism, however, during the same time they are arguing, the growing trend of killed animals are not stopped. Government should ban hunting tourism as soon as possible. In my opinion, hunting affirms a hunter’s belief that he is superior to a lion, bear, bush pig and other wildlife, regardless of their status as endangered. Therefore, he will continue to believe that their lives are worth less than his.
Criticizing the behavior of people who goes for hunting tourism cannot change the fact that hunting is their personal interests. Only when there is law to protect the life of wildlife could stop them from hunting. Then the sustainability could be guaranteed. Moreover, developing countries should seek for cooperation with international organizations, such as WWF and UNWTO and other non-governmental organizations, in order to achieve a better result of protecting these wild animals.
