The bill, which acknowledged the importance of fees paid by trophy hunters in conservation of Africa's wildlife, however raised questions of whether its motive was supported by science.
Arguments raised before the amendments and were eventually accepted, acknowledged African parks and wildlife administrators were getting part of their funding to fight poaching from trophy hunting. "I have been concerned throughout the progress of the Bill that it is not motivated by a desire to see African wildlife flourish and prosper. If it were, it would have paid heed to the scientific evidence provided by experts in conservation," said Wiggin.
