Big game hunting. Although it is not allowed in Kenya, it is still a huge business in other countries, actually thoughout the world.

Carol,
There is a huge hunting industry in Africa. Hunting exists for several reasons. Example, The dollars it costs to hunt a lion, $50,000 helps to keep other lions alive. Truth is, these large game lodges can only support so many animals and herds must be thinned.
The only reason these animals survive is the price on their heads, either for photography or hunting. Otherwise they would be food for starving folks of Africa.
As I am not a hunter, having travelled in Africa I understand the need as I understand the need here in the states.
Most of the hunting is the very common game, Impala and such and like the deer in the states they must be thinned or they will eat everything.
On my last trip to South Africa I counted 21 gun cases being loaded onto the aircraft. That is a lot of hunting.
Mike
