    I really doubt that, it's right next to "least concern". It maybe somewhat rare in Mongolia but as you can see, not so on the planet.

    I can't stand Trump. I can't stand Trump Jr. I don't see the rationale for trophy hunting, as opposed to eating your kill. But even I will wait to hear where the money for the permit went before condemning.

    I too, abhor trophy hunting, but the meat is usually given to the locals.

    Another potential bonus point. Again, willing to wait for more info before condemning.

    You're not responding to:
    1) my source saying it's rare. My source is from the WWF.
    2) claiming near threatened means the species is threatened with extinction in the near future.


    it all points at that Donald Jr did get a permit, after a lil chat with the president of a corrupt country, to go hunt a rare animal. Normally only 40 permits are given a year. A Trump simply does what a Trump does.... corrupt foreign leaders.

    You do realize that no meat goes to waste in big game hunts?

    In big game hunts the meat always goes to the local indigenous people for food.

    Curious how you support your religious faith in the "always" part, but you appear to have misread my post. Try again.

    Your faith that all meat in all big game hunts goes to the indigenous people for food certainly borders on religious.

    According to who? Please share the details. What does "vulnerable" mean? What does "endangered" mean? (probably what you claim in #2)

    What does "critically endangered" mean?

    (Note, the answers are evident, just curious how you will spin the others)


    Near Threatened (NT) is a conservation status given to species or lower taxa that may be threatened with extinction in the near future. However, it does not mean that the species is threatened. The Near Threatened taxa usually includes the Vulnerable species.

    You are jousting with "Near Threatened" and than demand I source you de definition? Good lord. lol
    And what you found is what I posted.

    And good job ignoring that the sheep are indeed rare according to the WWF.
    Kills your agenda, doesn't it? lol

    40 permits to kill a sheep a year.
    Take a hint!
