It saddens me to see a conservative MP so ill informed and led by emotion to the point that they would repeatedly lie and twist the words of an honourable and honest man. I have been supporter of the conservative party and I am a keen British hunter, hunting in Africa is very similar to how deer is managed in the UK, only in Southern Africa the local population has more of a stake in the wildlife management than we do here in UK.
The British population has come so far detached from what is required to farm both crops and livestock because the British government promoted the poaching of wildlife over hundred of years to increase farmed produce so we have never in a modern Britian got the opportunity to live truly side by side with wild animals like Africa. In Britian wealthy politicians and royalty were the only ones to have a stake in wildlife until around 60 years ago which makes us as a nation too ill informed lecture to Africa and insinuate that they are "corrupt" and
Studies have shown that most of the trophy hunting revenue stays within the hunting industry, and that when compared to tourism it´s generated value is almost nil. Take for example the case of South Africa where trophy hunting brought $341 million for the 2015/16 season in contrast to the $22.1 billion brought by tourism in 2019.
Even in the case that trophy hunting were a profitable business benefiting the local communities it would still not be an ethical enterprise. As long as trophy hunting continues, it will prevent non-consumptive forms of nature tourism from establishing in the local economies, and will perpetuate the false narrative that hunting is indispensable to conservation.

While I can accept your feelings about hunters, you are welcome to have that opinion, but you are not welcome to make up your own facts.
I don't even know where to start. There are more wildlife professionals in South Africa managing land double the size of Scotland. Yet you claim we don't know what we are doing.
But the worst thing of all is that you are abusing your position to undermine successful wildlife policy in Africa through forcing a boycott on an economy that supports wildife.
A few facts. Is that the lion population is stable or increasing in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
I wish that you would visit these areas that far exceed the size of UK before you take a stance that is ultimately destructive to conservation efforts.
