Plus, no one profits from allowing hunting for free

At Chobe National Park in Botswana, we were talking with a guide who had a side business of taking big game hunters to kill a lion. He buys a "single lion kill permit" from the government and then sells the hunt and the lion for $80,000!!!!! I can only wonder what the polar bear profit scheme is.

PS: "Civilization" is encroaching lion habitats to a far greater extent than "igloo cities" are encroaching polar bears. But lions are not endangered (yet), so this type of limited hunting is permitted (for $$$$). It's highly unlikely that polar bear harvesting would be permitted if the species were endangered, due to "loss of habitat" which some deluded false narrative climate change believers claim.
I see my sarcasm was lost on you. My apologies for not labeling it for easy recognition.
