Tell me, what happens if we rip away hunting when hunting protects more wildlife land in Africa than national parks?

My post last week where I defended game hunting as a conservation tool has, unaccountably, encountered a certain amount of push back. In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. And embattled minority should be protected.
