MYTH: Killing animals helps preserve them.

This past May I attended the National Rifle Association convention in Houston, Texas. To be honest, nothing really surprised or shocked me at the convention, except one thing: There was an entire aisle dedicated to exotic animal hunting excursions.

Up until then, I had no idea you could legally hunt lions, zebras, elephants, leopards, etc.

At the convention, safari hunting booths were covered in pictures of kills.
