||Trophy hunting is big business. Thousands of big cats, often from threatened species, are killed with rifles, bows and other weapons by hunters who pay large amounts of money for the privilege. The rarer and more impressive the animal, the more they are prepared to pay. To maximise profits, hunting operations manage wildlife to the detriment of the wider environment. The twentieth century saw the rise of a new 'sport': the Canned Hunt. Tigers may be shot in cages or within fenced enclosures or shot over feeding stations. Some animals are tame and have little fear of humans, while others may be tied to a stake or drugged before they are shot. The defining characteristic of a canned hunt is that the odds have been artificially manipulated against the animal. © Britta Jaschinski/laif

 

Am 29.Oktober 2019 erscheint außerdem die englisch-chinesische Ausgabe des Buchs der von Britta Jaschinski als Co-Founder mit gegründeten Gruppe “Photographers Against Wildlife Crime”.
