As far as the conservation argument goes I don't have any stats or numbers in front of me but as I understand it many of these hunters are paying 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars to shoot an animal that would be taken out regardless, for one reason or another. These funds often represent a large portion of an annual budget for whatever group protects animals in the region. The money may protect many other animals from poachers, or other threats.
