Interviewer: "Oh, so you've killed chickens.". Now you kill turkeys, chickens, fish and--". Interviewer: "Cows, okay, there's another one you kill. I think you actually support animal cruelty."

The interests of those working for conservation and those working for animal rights and animal welfare don’t always perfectly align like you might think they do. Cheetahs would be quite happy with you shooting Lions as Lions are bastards that keep stealing their kills. Take the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
