@africlandpost @maggsnaidu What rubbish. She is a hunter. We allow and indeed encourage hunting as an important tourist activity. And on top of which you play the race card. This is virtue signalling, not social commentary.

@triscoe @maggsnaidu @africlandpost I don't hunt, but I think the hunting industry is an important part of both tourism and conservation. Which is not to say people should be free to hunt anything they please, or that hunting should not be regulated.
