15. I think a lot of people care. Remember Cecil the Lion?

that story gave light to these trophy hunts. People all over the world were outraged and horrified by Cecil's murder. Likewise that story a few weeks ago about the 12 year old girl killing a giraffe and a zebra totally outraged many. Thanks to social media - these idiots pose with pictures of their murders and are then shocked that they receive so much hateful feedback. In my opinion, the vast majority of people do seem to care.

But good things have happened by some countries because of this media attention.
