The first man to hunt animals with a camera and not a gun

[Catherine]

Quote:"Over several months on safari the trigger-happy president and his son Kermit killed 17 lions, 11 elephants, 20 rhino, nine giraffes, 19 zebra, more than 400 hippos, hyena and other large animals, as well as many thousands of birds and smaller animals." What a bloodbath!

I find this shocking. It is not just that it is a brutal killing spree. Did it never occur to him that he might be depleting the species. The numbers are staggering. 
When you think of the Rhinos alone, the number of offspring that were not born because of this blood bath could be the difference between extinction or survival of the species.
So I hope Roosevelt gets the credit he deserves for the destruction he caused and I hope Kearton gets the credit for the lives he saved.
Two men, two very different paths.
