Excellent point Howler. The majority of African game is still roaming around because of hunters paying to protect it. And, with the "endangered" hunts, as well as a great portion of the overall hunting in Africa, it is under high-fenced conditions. The fenced areas are VAST, I mean huge, so those animals are a commodity, not something that is part of the wild population, where the "endangered" numbers are counted from. And, Africa does a little different too, there are areas where each of the animals listed are numerous, but may be endangered in certain regions.
