Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,760
This programme contains
very strong language
2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,240
and scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting.
3
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880
WHISPERED: OK, just get comfortable
and get ready.
4
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,720
Take your time.
5
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,880
And aim just to the right leg
of the feeder, OK?
6
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,960
You can wait if you want, but that's
a shelter shot out there.
7
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,960
GUNSHOT
8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Ho-ho! You put him down, son!
9
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,640
Where's that spike?
10
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Oh, he's getting up, Dad. He's not
going anywhere, don't worry.
11
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,000
GUNSHOT
12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,880
You killed the doe. Off the spike.
13
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,400
Oh. OK, let's go.
14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,040
Hold that.
15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,120
Yes!
16
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,680
Hold this gun like this.
17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,200
How's that? Feels good.
I need the head up like this, OK?
18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Cos, if it's young, it doesn't
look great. Let's try that!
19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,840
OK. Oh, that's what we want
right there.
20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Smile!
21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,680
First trophy buck.
22
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,120
Like this.
23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,120
One more, just smile. We're done.
24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,920
OK.
25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,960
As they say, that's history.
26
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:44,680
No more doe and spike culling
for you.
27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,160
You're onto the big trophies.
28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,000
HE LAUGHS
29
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:25,920
LOW GRUNTS
30
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040
The head.
31
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000
INDISTINCT URGENT INSTRUCTIONS
32
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,920
One, two, three.
33
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Short deep breaths, eh?
34
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Make sure that their breathing's
good. Yeah. Short breaths.
35
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,000
380.
36
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Where's the brush?
Give us the brush.
37
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Injecting. Yeah. Can we go?
38
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,120
We've got a rhino
left on its side now. Let's go.
39
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960
The operation goes very quickly.
40
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
It's painless,
41
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,360
probably less danger than a human
being having its wisdom tooth out.
42
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,560
He will be back with his friends
within minutes.
43
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,240
It'll take about two years
44
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
before he goes through
the same procedure again
45
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,360
and we know that the poachers
prefer rhinos with long horns
46
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800
and pointed horns.
47
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960
Every two years, to save his life,
I think,
48
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,000
if he had an opinion to give to you,
he would say,
49
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,920
"I'm very happy to sacrifice
my horn, in order to save my life."
50
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,600
There he is,
already walking normally.
51
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,640
He looks fine.
52
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,360
I truly believe
that I have the recipe
53
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960
to save the rhino from extinction.
54
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,040
Sell the horns, keep the rhinos
alive and breeding more and more.
55
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880
I will give you a challenge.
56
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,080
Give me one animal
that's gone extinct
57
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,720
while farmers were breeding it
and making money out of it.
58
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
There's not one. Not one.
59
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,920
SHEEP AND LAMBS BLEAT
60
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
That's a Dorper lamb.
61
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,800
That's what we do. We raise babies.
62
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760
LAMB BLEATS LOUDLY
63
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,920
We feed them, we keep the predators
out of them and we...
64
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,920
..try to breed good genetics and
try to raise the next generation.
65
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,160
All right, I've got you. I've got
your friend. Your little brother.
66
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Let's go.
67
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Those lambs will be three months old
when they're weaned
68
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,200
and they will go to a small packer
in central Texas
69
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080
and that lamb will be harvested
70
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,360
and, typically, will go into
your high-end grocery chains
71
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,680
and then to
a few specialty restaurants.
72
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,800
CAR HORN
73
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,400
I think we have a problem
with people thinking
that all animals are pets.
74
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,280
I don't think you can explain
that to people.
75
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,080
If they don't understand
that you raise a chicken
to kill a chicken to eat chicken,
76
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,160
if they can't understand that,
77
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,480
it's their infantile frame of mind
that I don't know how to,
78
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,320
how to get in their mind.
79
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880
All I can tell them is,
I love raising these animals.
80
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
I love those lambs.
81
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Even the ones that are going to be
somebody's lamb chops this summer
for July fourth.
82
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,960
But that's what they're for.
83
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,520
They're not for anything else.
84
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Pull him. To the side, guys.
85
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,320
One, two, three. Come on.
86
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Keep it on the grass.
87
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,160
You are closing his nose.
He must breathe.
88
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,200
You can't put your hand there.
89
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,920
Let me close your nose also.
90
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,640
OK? Thank you, guys.
91
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,320
There's a big industry in our
country. Not just the crocodiles,
92
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,320
the lions, the sables, the buffalo,
93
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120
everything it's being bred
for purpose on the end of the day.
94
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,160
So, yeah, sure,
some of them will be hunted.
95
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880
We are as humans going to eat it,
96
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120
or we're going to use the skin
97
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960
and then that's a cycle of life.
98
00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,960
SHOUTING
99
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,960
John! John!
100
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,280
Slowly, slowly, slowly.
101
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Those are still wild animals,
102
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,360
even if they've been kept
in captivity, like this,
103
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,600
they'll kill you in an instant
and eat you up.
104
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,880
So then, once it's closed up,
105
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,120
you load it on and it's ready for
transport to its next destination.
106
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,760
If you don't come to Vegas,
107
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,120
I think your business
will eventually won't make it.
108
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,600
This is the place to come
109
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,880
and everyone tries to be better
than the next person.
110
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,720
It doesn't matter if he's breeding
lions, or buffalo, or sable,
111
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,920
it's a passion to have
your wild game
112
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,480
and to be able to breed them
and make sure you get better quality
113
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,040
and genetics and that,
and you're actually proud of it.
114
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,800
The Safari Club International show
115
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,600
is the largest hunting convention
in the planet.
116
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,360
We have 2,000 booths
that are out there on the floor.
117
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640
We'll probably run 20,000 different
folks through here
118
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,920
from all over the world...
119
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,240
..and you'll be able to see
anything that you want,
120
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,280
in terms of hunting,
hunting support, and conservation.
121
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
For you, eight animals, big cats.
122
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,440
I know that a lot of people
are confused
123
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,320
how hunting and conservation
go together.
124
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,560
Hunt South Africa on a ten-day...
125
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,480
About two hours ago,
there was an auction item
126
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,200
that was an elephant hunt.
127
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,320
20,000. Let's go. 22.5. Blow him out
of the water. 22.5.
128
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,200
Yo!
129
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,280
And that elephant hunt
sold for about $50,000
130
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,200
and that money will all go
back into conservation.
131
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Ha! Sold right there. $18,000. 18.
132
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,560
APPLAUSE
133
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720
The coat is not exchangeable
and model is not included.
134
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Another at $29,000.
135
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,640
I don't know when
my little granddaughter says
136
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,480
"I don't know why my grandma
wants to shoot a zebra."
137
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,840
So, I don't know. I'm losing face
with my three-year-old little
granddaughter
138
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
cos I'm going to go shoot a zebra.
139
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,560
And crocodiles are really mean.
140
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,040
So I don't feel bad
about killing one of those.
141
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Besides that, I want pair of boots.
142
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,680
And a purse, and a wallet.
143
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,680
And a belt.
144
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,760
You can not only pick the species
you want,
145
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,920
but you can pick the actual animal
you want,
146
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,680
so you can see
if you want a male, or a female,
147
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,320
older, younger, colour,
type of fur.
148
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,280
You can just pick whatever animal
you want
149
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,360
from the menu that they offer you,
see the price, and book the kill.
150
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,080
The Safari Club Convention
151
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,200
is the ultimate meat market
for exotic species.
152
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,480
And one of the prime attractions
153
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,280
is to get a big five grand slam.
154
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,000
So you shoot one of
each of the following species.
155
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Buffalo, which would cost you about
$8-9,000.
156
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,080
Leopards for about 20.
157
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Elephants for 45.
158
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Lions for 50,000.
159
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,560
And most expensive, because it's the
rarest - the rhino for $350,000.
160
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,600
So there's all this sort of stuff
that encourages this collecting,
161
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520
this obsessiveness
for more and more and more
162
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,280
and the status is applied
to the individual hunter
163
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,960
who achieves those ends.
164
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,160
I happened to be at Safari club
and they were discussing
fish and wildlife
165
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,040
and all the bans
they kept instituting
166
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440
and that there was a rumour
that they wanted to put lions
167
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120
on the threatened list
and further regulate their take.
168
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,800
And I decided at that moment,
that if the big five was my goal,
169
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,600
then I had to step my plans up,
drastically.
170
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,680
It's ready.
171
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Wait, wait. And take him.
172
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,680
I love it.
173
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560
It's exciting to see people
get here.
174
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,920
They are going on a big hunt,
so they're excited.
175
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,280
They've worked very hard
to earn the money
176
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400
to be able to go pay for this hunt
177
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,280
and they come here
with anticipation.
178
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,200
They come here
with a lot of nervousness,
179
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,360
because, in Africa, it is dangerous.
180
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,320
We're right on the edge of a herd of
elephants. Want you to get bull.
181
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,200
You hit him, just keep hitting him
again till he's down. Sound good?
182
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840
Sounds good. Follow me up here.
183
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,640
If you go back 1,000 years,
184
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,240
you know, the balance of nature
was pretty, pretty stable.
185
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,680
Unfortunately,
man has kind of screwed this up.
186
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160
And we have encroached on
so much natural land,
187
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,200
that the species, all the species,
now have to be managed.
188
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,160
For instance,
too many elephants in Botswana.
189
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720
On the right, on the right.
There he is.
190
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,680
Hit him again. And he's down.
191
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,000
He's down.
192
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,800
Of course, we can't do this
with live animals but
193
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,240
it kind of gets you pumped up,
what you're going to feel
on the real deal.
194
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Hunters' remorse.
195
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,240
It's not been something
I've experienced recently.
196
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,080
But as a child,
I certainly remember it.
197
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,520
From the flight deck
for those of you leaving us,
198
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000
I'd just like to welcome you
to Katima.
199
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
On behalf of the crew
thank you for flying with...
200
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,200
When I was a little boy, I remember
I had a BB gun.
201
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,000
I can vividly remember
my mother telling me,
202
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
"You can go shoot birds
but don't shoot a red bird."
203
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,320
What did I do?
204
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,960
I went and shot a red bird.
205
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,560
And I can still remember
holding that bird in my hands
206
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400
and looking at its beak
and just seeing how beautiful it was
207
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,240
and how it was made.
208
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,880
Right there in that moment,
209
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,720
I realised that there's no way
210
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,880
I could have loved that bird
any more.
211
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,080
Even though it was dead.
212
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,160
And I think a lot of us, as trophy
hunters, feel the same way.
213
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,680
We just... We just want
that experience to go...
214
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,280
..and hunt that animal one time.
215
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,920
We'd really just want one.
216
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Where are you going?
217
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,680
LOW GRUNT
218
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,600
What's wrong, my baby?
219
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200
PHONE RINGTONE
220
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Yeah, Johnny? It's not a good
morning again this morning.
221
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,040
Oh, fuck. Now what?
222
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,840
It's a dead rhino there.
223
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,840
An adult rhino?
224
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,440
Yeah.
225
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Fuck!
226
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Has she got a calf, Johnny?
227
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,640
Yeah, she's got big
two-year-old calf.
228
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,720
Two-year-old calf. Yeah.
229
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Ugh! Fuck me.
It never stops, does it?
230
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,600
No.
231
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Heartbreaking.
232
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,040
When a calf doesn't know what
to do with itself.
233
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,920
I have lost quite a few
of my breeding stock.
234
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,800
Disease will always be a factor.
235
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,720
Unfortunately, so will poaching.
236
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,240
The odds are stacked against them.
237
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,800
And...
238
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,240
..I'm always for the underdog...
239
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,840
..but more to the point...
240
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,760
..I got to know them
241
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,280
and they are the last animal
in the world
242
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,360
that deserves the persecution.
243
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,520
They don't deserve it.
244
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,960
They are the nicest,
245
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,840
most user-friendly animal
246
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,200
that wants to stay
this side of extinction.
247
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,320
They definitely are
the most magical creatures.
248
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,800
I can sit and watch them for hours
and hours and hours.
249
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,760
And they're ancient.
250
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760
They don't look like they belong
in today's life,
251
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,000
yet they're still here.
252
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,400
I'm hoping that people
get a whiff of places like this.
253
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,880
What we're trying to do here,
254
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,840
that more of them will
start thinking
255
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,160
of opening
their own breeding operations,
256
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,200
so that, hopefully, together,
we can revive the numbers,
257
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,840
before we destroy another species
because of mankind.
258
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,280
Almost every other wild animal
has to be killed
259
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,320
to get what people want.
260
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,000
Whether that is horns, skin, meat,
261
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,240
rhino is the only exception
262
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,480
and that's why
I concentrate on rhinos,
263
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,160
because you don't have to hunt them,
you don't have to kill them.
264
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,960
In fact, you shouldn't, because
they're growing gold for you.
265
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,440
The rhino horn belief has been
around for millions of years.
266
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Unfortunately, there are more people
that believe in rhino horn
267
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,640
than there are Christians
on this earth,
268
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,800
so it's very difficult...
269
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,040
You're going to go and tell
600 million Christians, or whatever,
270
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,240
that God doesn't exist,
by the same token,
271
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,720
you're not going to tell people
rhino horn doesn't work.
272
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,200
This one weighs about four kilos.
273
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,040
In Vietnam, on the black market,
the retail value of this horn
274
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,160
would be about
a quarter of a million dollars.
275
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,080
It's more expensive than gold,
or heroin, by weight.
276
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:10,440
The illogical part of it is that
I have four tonnes of rhino horn
277
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,600
in expensive security,
278
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,520
which very conservatively,
I could get $60 million.
279
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,040
But we're not allowed to sell it.
280
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,040
When I started this project,
281
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,920
it was legal to sell rhino horn
in South Africa.
282
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,880
In 2009, our government
put a moratorium on the trade
in rhino horn...
283
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,360
..but, since the ban,
poaching has skyrocketed.
284
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,120
The very crook who now will kill
a rhino and sell it illegally,
285
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,080
if he could sell the horn legally,
he will never kill a rhino.
286
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,320
Who would kill the hen
that lays the golden egg?
287
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,400
Maybe somebody's watching for crocs.
288
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,360
I hope.
289
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,480
Ooh!
290
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,760
There's a little hole right there.
291
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,880
It's all good.
292
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,400
This is one of the largest
destinations, probably, in Africa
293
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,640
where there's no fences.
It's absolutely open.
294
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520
You have to work for your trophy.
295
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,960
We believe, yeah, that...
296
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,080
..if you want to hunt,
it's all on the food.
297
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,400
It's walk and stalk.
298
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,280
It's giving, also,
the animal a chance.
299
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,560
So, for us, the three things is,
300
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,560
if he hears you, he smells you,
or if he sees you, it's game over.
301
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,760
HE WHISPERS
302
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,560
The build-up to pulling
that trigger, in my case,
303
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,920
started at 18 months ago.
304
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,480
So it's a long build-up
to that point.
305
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Preparation, planning,
buying plane tickets,
306
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,600
paying a deposit on safari,
307
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,280
talking with your PH
about the plans.
308
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,520
"What are we going to do?
How are we going to hunt him?"
309
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,920
All this stalking, planning...
310
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,680
..and then,
finding if the animal's coming.
311
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,200
And then the animal's there.
312
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440
And then, you pull the trigger.
313
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,080
And, then - boom! - you've got him.
314
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,760
And then, all of the anticipation
changes into a different emotion,
315
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,800
of joy and relief...
316
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,040
..and excitement and anticipation,
317
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,280
because you want to go over to him
and see...
318
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,960
..hell, what does he look like?
319
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,520
What does he feel like?
320
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,280
What does he...
321
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,360
Where did he fall?
322
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,520
BRANCHES SNAP
323
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,280
Which one are you looking at?
324
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,560
This one here on the left.
325
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,600
OK.
326
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,160
Wait.
327
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Wait there. Yeah.
328
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,080
No, no, no. That's a young bull.
329
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,440
Let's go back.
330
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,040
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
331
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,160
Philip!
332
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,440
I think it's too dangerous.
333
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Too many, they're too blocked up
and...
334
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,240
All the ones I saw
had good toes, the big ones.
335
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,600
Yeah, but they're female.
336
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,840
It's all females we are looking
for, an old,
337
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,240
old animal that we can harvest
for meat.
338
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,760
That's OK. Keep going.
339
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,440
For the better part
of two centuries now,
340
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,080
you had this hunting culture,
341
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,400
first in Britain
and now in America,
342
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,400
that it's somehow rugged
and exciting
343
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,440
to be out in the wilderness
and hunting,
344
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,400
and Teddy Roosevelt bought into that
345
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,320
when he hunted
thousands of animals,
346
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,560
including something like
5,000 mammals
347
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,800
and started to record
all of these kills.
348
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,120
The hunters' accounts
of what they're doing
349
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,120
makes me sick to my stomach,
sometimes,
350
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:42,280
about finding this amazing bull
elephant and putting a bullet
351
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,480
in the animal's head and that gives
them a rush of excitement.
352
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Now, they cloak that in money,
conservation, helping people,
353
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,080
so, yeah, Roosevelt is declaring
all these parks National Parks
354
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,520
and protecting wilderness
355
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
but he's also killing thousands
of animals at the same time,
356
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,640
because he wanted to be able
to do that hunting.
357
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,480
He wanted to be able to consume
those wild animals.
358
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,800
The hunting industry
is trying to convince people
359
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,720
that the way it was
in Roosevelt's time
360
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,160
is the way it still is today.
361
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,080
A hunter was somebody
who was willing to go out
362
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,960
and spend three weeks walking around
on foot, tracking an elephant,
363
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,600
tracking a lion, to shoot it
and take home a trophy.
364
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,600
There was a challenge,
there was a sense of sport.
365
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,960
But what has happened
in the last ten or 15 years
366
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,040
has been a growing segment of the
hunting demographic
367
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,760
which are referred to
as "the shooters"
368
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,440
and the shooters may have to spend
as much money as it takes
369
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,720
to get a three-week permit
370
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,360
but if they can kill everything
in the first two days,
371
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:50,640
they'll do it and they'll fly home.
372
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,040
It's that mentality
that really fed the birth
373
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,560
of the canned hunting industry.
374
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,040
Basically, you've gone shopping
at some import-export place
375
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,920
and you've got your rug,
you got your mantelpiece.
376
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,880
But it's not sport,
it's just killing.
377
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,960
GUNSHOT
378
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,320
OK, guys? Yeah. Very.
379
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:24,720
Shit! I'm out of bullets.
380
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,160
Come here, come here, come here.
381
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Piece of shit.
382
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Where is it now?
383
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,800
It's going to move.
384
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,600
That is one big-ass
fucking crocodile!
385
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,800
Let me tell you, though,
386
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,760
the adrenaline has been worth
every penny of it,
387
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,240
as long as we can fetch it out.
Something's coming out there.
388
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,760
Yeah. It's coming out there.
Oh, fuck.
389
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,520
That's... Oh, my gosh!
That's not yours.
390
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,000
Yes. Is that yours?
391
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,080
I don't know. I don't know.
No, but I want to shoot a rhino.
392
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,520
I want to have...
Yeah, I want to have two.
393
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040
That can't be yours,
swimming like that.
394
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,200
That's impossible. Oh, no!
395
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,960
I don't know what that is.
396
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,320
It keeps like croaking.
397
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,800
It is.
398
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,200
Watch it. I want to shoot this one.
399
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,120
I'm not sure. Is that the one?
400
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,320
Yeah.
401
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,160
I'll shoot it with this one.
Going to put my beer down.
402
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Not drop it.
403
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,400
What's this?
404
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,480
The blood. Blood?
405
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,560
From the last crocodile.
Oh, the last crocodile. Oh! Yeah.
406
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,600
It's just waiting for us
to get close.
407
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Oh, it's moving it's eyes.
408
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Need to watch out.
409
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Shoot it again.
410
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,520
Should I just shoot it in the brain?
411
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,200
God!
412
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,840
Now it's dead. Oh, you motherfucker!
413
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,680
LAUGHTER
414
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,400
Now he's destroyed.
No, they'll fix it up.
415
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,240
They'll fix it, Sarah.
They'll fix it.
416
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,240
That's what taxidermists do.
417
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040
That's why you pay them.
418
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,440
I'm done for the day.
It's party time, boys.
419
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,320
How much for that sucker?
That white one?
420
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,400
That's a big white lion.
It would be about 35,000.
421
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,800
35,000? How much was Cecil?
422
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,800
Cecil was expensive, like, 50,000.
423
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,560
I was in the cattle industry
for, like, ten, 12 years
424
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,280
and because we had a lot of game
in the area,
425
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,960
I had some other outfitters
those years which always contact me
426
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,640
and said, "Please, Christo,
can I bring a client over?"
427
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,080
"I'd like to come and hunt."
428
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,240
And I'd say, "OK, fine, bring the
clients."
429
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920
And then I start meeting
overseas clients
430
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,880
and it looked to me
like it can become a good business.
431
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,040
So what we offer our clients
is days at the lodge,
432
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,560
there is a Jacuzzi
and then the hunting area.
433
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,840
You can drive around,
try and spot the animals,
434
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,880
you get off and you try
and get the client up to a point
435
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,600
where he can have a clear, good shot
at that animal.
436
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Good shot.
Good shot, buddy.
437
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Normally in the middle of the day,
when it's really hot,
438
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,960
we bring the clients
into the blind area
439
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,560
where they can sit down
for the rest of the afternoon.
440
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,720
So it's making it
really comfortable.
441
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,480
The client can stand straight up
and be able to shoot
442
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,920
through that slot over there.
443
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,200
It's maybe, like, 25 yards.
444
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,200
We will put some feeders out here,
as well,
445
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,920
so that the animals
can only come into the certain areas
446
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,760
where there is water for drinking.
447
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,200
Then we clear out around all these
water points where the blinds are
448
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,960
because you would like to see
the animals when they come in
449
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,680
and that makes it an exciting hunt
450
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,440
and it makes it
a natural environment,
451
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,240
which is very important.
452
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,320
What did you kill?
You're just wasting petrol.
453
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Yeah, it's not a photo safari.
454
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,320
You've got the wrong guide.
455
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,280
You should get a guide
which kills things.
456
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,400
LAUGHTER
457
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,240
Sorry! OK, sorry!
458
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,440
Just keep in mind,
we don't feed no Americans
459
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,080
if they don't shoot something.
460
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,960
I would love to have a giraffe.
461
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080
I probably would shoot it myself,
too.
462
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Oh, here's some more.
463
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,880
He says it's too expensive and we
don't have room for it in our house.
464
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,120
I would find room for it
in our house,
465
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,080
even if I probably would have
to build onto the trophy room,
466
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,720
which I don't want to.
467
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,800
A beautiful animal.
I got one of those last year.
468
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,800
I still have a warthog and a baboon
and a bush buck, a bush pig,
469
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,000
a caracal,
so the list is still pretty big
470
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,840
and we have the rest of this
day and two more days to hunt.
471
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,800
So we'll try to do our best
to get the most on the list,
472
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,720
but it's not as easy.
473
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,400
It seems like once we're going
for them, they're real skittish.
474
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,280
Now we just like to get
all this grass out of the way.
475
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,360
Wash all the blood off.
476
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,720
You try and start with plains game.
477
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,280
You know,
animals which they get the feeling
478
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760
and get used to our bush
and environment.
479
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Right, Joe, smile.
480
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,520
And then, eventually,
they've got the experience
481
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,560
to allow them to go after
the big five.
482
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,520
This is the most expensive one.
483
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,280
Damn, that was a good shot.
484
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,440
Ah, beautiful photo.
485
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,120
One, two... Do you want to kiss?
Yes.
486
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,720
Oh, that's a nice one!
There you go.
487
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:17,960
Now I'm happy, she got a second one
and oil's up to $2.
488
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,920
What? Oil's up. Oil's up $2.
489
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,320
Let's add another one to the list.
490
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Let's add that bitch to the list.
491
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,760
Right, I'm going to start you
really low.
492
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,400
And what do we say?
What about one million here?
493
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,600
500,000 now. 500, 500, 500, 600,000.
494
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,680
I've got 600,000. 800,000.
One million. Thank you, sir.
495
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,600
1 million that we have now.
I've got a 1.2, now.
496
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,360
I've got a 1.5, and 730 there.
497
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160
I've got 1,730,000 now.
498
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,400
Do we have 1,750,000 here?
499
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,200
Every outfitter,
if he has a lot of clients,
500
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,640
or runs a good hunting business,
you kind of shoot out your animals,
501
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,000
so you have to buy in new blood.
502
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,840
The breeding is very important
because that's where the money is.
503
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,360
The money is in the breeding.
504
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,640
AUCTION CHANT AND BIDDING CONTINUES
505
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,880
We've had buffalo go for between
four and five million US dollars
506
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,680
and also sable bulls go for
four or five million US dollars.
507
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,440
It's good for the industry.
508
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,920
Very big demand and a good market.
509
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,640
At 2,600,000, and done.
510
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,040
You have the...
511
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,160
You know, the capitalist system,
the profit motive,
512
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,400
making money off of wildlife.
513
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,240
So it's a remarkable development,
but in South Africa,
514
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,800
they went through an incredible
period of removing nature
515
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,160
from their countryside in the 1800s.
516
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,400
And they'd literally removed
everything.
517
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,720
It's only been
in the last 20, 25 years
518
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,240
that there has been this recognition
519
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,000
that they could take private land
and private owners themselves
520
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,600
could profit by restoring
these areas.
521
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,760
Now, until recently, this land
was mostly used for livestock,
522
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,560
but a lot of people decided,
523
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,240
"Well, we could get more revenue
if we do game ranching."
524
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:17,040
You'd actually get much more money
than raising cows.
525
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,200
In this model,
they're filling the market
526
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,240
by first killing
rare ungulate species, like sable,
527
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,840
that are
still attractive for hunters.
528
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,600
And you can also start breeding
your buffalo, so they have
abnormally huge horns.
529
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,120
And then, as the market saturates,
people are thinking,
530
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,800
"Ah, well, you know,
I've got all this land
and we could bring back big five."
531
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,840
Now you actually
have got a restored ecosystem.
532
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,240
And so this has been
a success story.
533
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:54,600
There are far more lions
in South Africa now
534
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,400
than there were 100 years ago.
535
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,440
There is far more predators,
in general, in South Africa
536
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,120
than there were 100 years ago.
537
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Initially, it may have been because
538
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,960
this would have involved
the slaughter of some animals,
539
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,800
but then you could go towards
a more naturalistic thing
540
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,880
that would not have happened
otherwise.
541
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,480
If we are only going to restrict...
542
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,920
..what we view
as domesticated animals
543
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,640
to those species
that have been domesticated
544
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,960
hundreds of thousands
of years ago,
545
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040
then we are just going to see a lot
of these species go away
546
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,800
and, I think, that there are
a few species, like rhino,
547
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,640
that there should be rhino farms.
548
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,000
One needs to recognise
549
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,600
that what they've achieved
in South Africa
550
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,280
should not be lost.
551
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,360
This was a breeding buffalo bull.
552
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,320
This buffalo bull was bought
for millions...
553
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,920
..and, eventually,
554
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,920
he was done breeding and we had to
put him out of there for hunting.
555
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,800
So we got the Canadian client,
he came over,
556
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,200
and he was very happy to harvest
to such a beautiful trophy.
557
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,800
So nothing goes for waste.
558
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,760
Nothing. Even that animal.
559
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,120
And we hope that, maybe, there's 50,
70 babies of him running around.
560
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,560
But eventually, one day,
he is going to be honoured,
561
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,680
to put him up on the trophy room
where someone can walk in and say,
562
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,720
"You know what, that was a top
breeder."
563
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,400
And he will still be honoured today.
564
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,520
You look at him
and say he was a great trophy.
565
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,920
He makes a real great trophy.
566
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,880
Do you ever get attached to a lion,
567
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,120
that it's hard to release it
for a hunt?
568
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,560
Is there some animal like that
that you are like, "Ah, this one."
569
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,320
All animals.
570
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Doesn't matter what animal it is,
if you love animals,
571
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,640
you will get attached to it.
572
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,400
You will go out there every day.
573
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,440
You see this animal,
you are feeding him.
574
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,920
The buffalo, your sable, of course,
575
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,760
but there will be a time
when you have to let go.
576
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Cut.
577
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,320
You must cut it.
578
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,640
Yeah!
579
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,400
Did you see it? Congratulations.
580
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,800
You got him running away. Yeah!
581
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,640
Oh, mercy!
582
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,240
HEAVY BREATHING
583
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,480
He's done.
584
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,040
ELEPHANT GROANS
585
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,760
ELEPHANT MOANS
586
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,240
Maybe you could come to the side.
587
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,440
Where? To the chest.
588
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,080
Straight to there? Yeah.
589
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,760
Let's stand a little bit back
590
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,880
so you can just finish.
591
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,560
Cigarette?
592
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,920
Is he an old one, Philip?
593
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,480
No. Just a bull.
594
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,600
Doesn't have, uh, the trophy
quality of a big elephant.
595
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,160
You know, he will never grow big.
596
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,840
So...yeah.
597
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,760
The "own use" elephant
is an elephant that we have to hunt
598
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,040
for the community.
599
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,360
As part of their quota,
600
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,080
they get some animals
that they can harvest for meat.
601
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:53,120
15 years ago, people poached animals
because of they want meat
602
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,360
and there was no value to the animal
for them.
603
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,240
Now they know they must protect
the wildlife.
604
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,040
It's not only the meat,
605
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,080
there's actually money
going back to their pockets.
606
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,840
Break the door
where people are sleeping? Yeah.
607
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,960
These are recurring problems,
then. Can't carry on like this.
608
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,640
Somebody's going to get eaten.
It's just a matter of time.
609
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,440
Maybe it's better people cry
about a dead lion
610
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,840
and we don't cry
about a dead person.
611
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,400
Better that way. Yeah.
612
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,080
We go to extreme lengths
to keep animals from being shot
613
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,120
on the problem animal
control programme.
614
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,000
Probably 95% of the time
615
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,600
we can get the animals
out of the communities
616
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,840
and get them back into
where they belong.
617
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,680
Try keep the two separate
because they don't mix well.
618
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,520
People are killed every year
619
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,320
by elephant, and hippo,
and crocodile, and lion.
620
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,440
It's part of life.
621
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,360
Part of life here, anyway,
certainly.
622
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,960
Lions come in, absolutely destroy
a guide's livelihood
623
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,160
and he doesn't have a way
to sustain his future.
624
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,680
Maybe does he end up in the bush,
putting up wire snares and poaching?
625
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,920
At the end of the day, you know,
we're fighting a poaching war.
626
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,880
We are trying to recruit people.
627
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,280
We do the anti-poaching campaigns.
628
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,080
Trying to teach people
629
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,560
and explain to them
the importance of animals.
630
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,520
The problem is people,
they're suffering.
631
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:20,520
So they are forced now to
get into the bush, to make a living.
632
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,840
Stay, stay.
633
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,320
Stay. Be a good boy.
634
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,800
Be a good boy. Stay, stay.
635
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,120
Yeah, David, you don't. Let me tell
you, you definitely don't.
636
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,600
That one over there
was only 14 months old.
637
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,720
I think two of them were pregnant
638
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,240
and then another cow with
a young calf was also wounded.
639
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,680
She still has a bullet
in her brisket.
640
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,000
Whether that will prove fatal
or not, we don't know.
641
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:20,560
Fucking sick.
642
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,760
They can give you ten, 12,
even 13 calves in their life.
643
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,560
That is all wiped out...
644
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,640
..in one moment.
645
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,800
The bodies were actually mutilated.
646
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,920
It means it is definitely, sort of,
locals involved.
647
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,400
I'm suspicious about the
camp master,
648
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,480
because the rhinos, A, know him,
649
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,240
and he knows how to go and stand
in the middle of them, quietly,
650
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:06,520
and then maybe, you know, two guys,
651
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,160
one banging one side
and one banging this side.
652
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,200
That's how I pictured it
in my nightmare.
653
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,840
Tell this fucking lady now
we are not tired of this.
654
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,560
We are going to leave her
with boots.
655
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,480
Quickly! Quickly!
656
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,760
We've known your father
a long time.
657
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,880
The future in the bush, ain't a
future, there is no future there.
658
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,920
Otherwise, you can die,
leaving your family behind.
659
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:01,080
Or to be jailed,
and you are young guys
660
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,240
with plenty of future to your side.
661
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,760
I know if we stay like this
we'll end up...
662
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,040
That's not going forward.
663
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,680
We're fighting this war
for the community. This community.
664
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,240
And another community further away
want these elephants' teeth.
665
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:26,160
They're worth a lot of money.
666
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,640
And they will go to all lengths
to get what they want.
667
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,120
So, yeah.
668
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,280
We need to look in the mirror
every morning.
669
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,000
I make a point of it
every single morning.
670
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,720
I look in the mirror
671
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:39,560
because we've got to make sure
we don't cross the bounds...
672
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,160
..er...that we can't lose
our humanity for humanity.
673
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,680
I think that's really important.
674
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,080
It gets harsh and we do things
sometimes that...
675
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,480
You saw it, scare people.
676
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,080
But we, we have to do what...
677
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,520
We have to keep this fight going.
678
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,120
It's a war to save elephant
from extinction.
679
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,920
20 rhinos were poached.
In less than a year.
680
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,000
20.
681
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,880
When I fired
the previous security company,
682
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,480
I already had a suspicion that some
of them were involved
683
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,920
in the rhino poaching.
684
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,240
One of the people in that team
I really liked
685
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,320
was the second in command,
a chap by the name of Thomas.
686
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,440
That is our friend Thomas
at the time that he was here.
687
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,240
I've got a very reliable report
from the police
688
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:53,920
that Thomas was in
on the poaching.
689
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,200
That is, emotionally,
690
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,000
the worst part of this was...
691
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,720
Who are your friends now?
692
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,080
Who are the friends of your rhino?
693
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,040
You feel you can't trust anybody.
694
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,760
I won't be able to guarantee
zero losses on this property.
695
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,720
What I can say to you
that most of those incidents
696
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:16,360
which are mapped there
697
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,520
are a direct result of having
698
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:22,560
the wrong people on site,
with not the right equipment,
699
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,560
not the right training,
not being highly motivated.
700
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,160
So we will now change
the policy completely
701
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,560
to have an elite reaction unit.
702
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,960
I don't necessarily want them
in a body bag,
703
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,400
but I would like to upset them.
704
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,080
For them to say, "No, no, no,
you don't want to go to that place."
705
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,920
We have
a case of shots being fired.
706
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,720
While a lot of the politicians
are praying for peace,
707
00:56:56,720 --> 00:56:58,960
we are praying for war.
708
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,680
More conflict is probably needed in
this arena to sort out the problem.
709
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,080
Quite frankly, I feel poor
cos they're all very expensive.
710
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,440
Radar seems to be somewhere between
ten and 20 million Rand.
711
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,000
This chopper here is costing me
nearly a million a month.
712
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,640
Then there is the underground man,
the bloody information man...
713
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,000
..and...and...and!
714
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,560
Derek, would that have come through
as an alarm if you had tapped it
715
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:32,600
on the top of the fence?
716
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,640
I mean, why did they come in here?
717
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,840
They walked from that bottom
road there.
718
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,080
They all went up there into this
camp to come close to these. Why?
719
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,480
Just cos they're fucking
with my head, or why?
720
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,760
You feel very helpless, you know.
721
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,200
Good morning, darlings.
722
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,000
Let me scratch you.
723
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,480
This one is four months old.
724
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,120
I don't think anybody ever thought
any private person
725
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,680
would have 1,300 rhinos.
726
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,280
And next year we're going to have
200 more, maybe.
727
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,400
But I suppose it's an addiction
kind of thing.
728
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,880
And where do you think
it's going to stop?
729
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,280
When he kicks the bucket, I guess.
730
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,160
Then hopefully one of his sons
will carry on.
731
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,640
He won't stop
before he's six foot under.
732
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,000
My dream is to carry on
what my dad's doing.
733
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,880
To carry on with the rhino breeding.
734
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,240
Unfortunately, the irony,
735
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,360
I wouldn't breed rhino
because it's too expensive
736
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,640
and it's very high risk.
737
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,920
I mean, we've had death threats
here at the house.
738
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,760
If I see what he's gone through
in the last 15 years,
739
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,240
his financial position
has gradually got worse and worse
740
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,080
the more rhino
he has acquired there.
741
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,680
I've invested $50 million in this
project with virtually no return.
742
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,040
This project will come to an end
unless it is making money.
743
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,000
I can go on selling my assets,
744
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,520
but it is not sustainable
in the long run.
745
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,640
I used to have six resorts.
746
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,600
I used to have over 3,000 beds.
747
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,880
All of the resorts have been...
748
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,760
And this is the last one
that will be sold on auction.
749
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,840
RAPID AUCTION CHANT
750
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,280
For 24 million. For the first time.
751
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,640
For the second time at 24 million.
752
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,320
Thank you, ma'am, it's yours.
753
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:41,720
APPLAUSE
754
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,080
I believe
that I don't have any option
755
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,960
but to take the government to court
to lift the moratorium.
756
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,400
If I don't,
757
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,280
I will run out of money and my
rhinos will be killed by poachers.
758
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,880
Sure?
759
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,240
We believe that the poachers
would have shot an elephant today...
760
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,760
..and we hope to meet them
on the road
761
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,280
and explain to them that...
762
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,280
..this no longer happens
in this area.
763
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,920
There was a sting operation
in the district south of us
764
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,280
where a lot of armed poachers
come from.
765
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,000
What had transpired was
a guy whipped out a knife,
766
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,080
tried to stab the police officer.
767
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,120
He was shot.
768
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,880
He died shortly after that.
769
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,720
Er, yeah, don't know.
770
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,840
It was a bit strange
because the next day
771
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,960
I had to go and shoot an elephant.
772
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:20,720
# Happy birthday to you
773
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:25,480
# Happy birthday, dear Philip
774
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,360
# Happy birthday to you
775
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,400
# And many more. #
776
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:31,520
Cheers.
777
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,640
APPLAUSE
778
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:44,160
You spilled it. What are you,
some kind of wild animal?
779
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,520
Mom, Dad, now watch.
Philip's opening his gift.
780
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,040
Oh, I remember what these are.
781
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,680
Birthday cheers on your quest
for the big five.
782
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,160
Something Merlot.
783
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,840
And some kind of chocolates.
Is that what it is? Happy birthday.
784
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,640
Thank you.
785
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:16,200
Unfortunately, this is
my birthday present, I guess.
786
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,560
They've listed
the lions as threatened
787
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,440
and all lions as threatened
and another species as endangered.
788
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,440
So effectively,
lion hunting is over.
789
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,120
Now, when this all goes into effect,
I don't know.
790
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,320
We are just a few months out,
so maybe we're OK.
791
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,760
Maybe we're not. Maybe we have to go
to a different country.
792
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,800
Maybe the whole trip's ruined.
I don't know.
793
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,520
So I think the thing
that makes me the maddest is this
794
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:44,400
service director Dan Ash says that,
and I quote,
795
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,760
"It's a privilege, not a right,
for us to bring back these trophies
from other countries."
796
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,680
You know, I don't think
he was elected by anybody.
797
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,400
I think he's an appointed bureaucrat
and he has no right to tell me
798
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:59,720
what my rights are and what
a privilege of being US citizen is.
799
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,640
I'm going to be the first hunter
in there for the hunting season
800
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,080
and we planned it that way.
801
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,320
So I'm going as early as I can
in this coming year,
802
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,480
but that might not be early enough.
803
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,600
Just once in a while
804
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,160
an individual animal
805
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,280
can capture the public imagination
806
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,840
and change public attitudes.
807
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,560
Worldwide outrage over the death
of Cecil the lion.
808
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,040
Killed at the hands
of an American dentist.
809
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:31,280
Cecil's death created a sort of
public groundswell of opinion
810
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,040
that's been translated
into real action.
811
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,680
You know what, I eat hamburgers.
812
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,600
But that was not a hunt.
That was a murder.
813
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,280
This guy must have quite
a collection of animal heads.
814
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,800
Here he is posing next to a bear
he shot.
815
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,680
He killed, like, half of Noah's Ark.
816
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,720
Killing a lion for sport?
817
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,280
Not in the era of Instagram,
Facebook,
818
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,120
not to a generation
brought up to relate to Simba.
819
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,400
We'll always be together, right?
820
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,680
No, we won't.
821
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,840
I'll be murdered by a dentist
from Minnesota.
822
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,720
See that constellation?
823
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,960
The one that looks like a white guy
in his 50s with a fake smile?
824
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,360
Walter fucking Palmer.
825
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,320
You hunted Cecil the lion
like a fucking cowardly bitch.
826
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,240
Dentist Palmer, welcome to the court
of public opinion.
827
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,960
I'm really happy that social media
is getting this story out there.
828
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,960
Got to stop talking about it because
I'm going to get really angry.
829
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,320
What would happen if you were
being hunted, motherfucker?
830
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,800
We'll never forgive what you did!
831
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,640
In the wake of public outrage over
the killing of Cecil the lion,
832
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,960
the three largest US airlines
are instituting bans
833
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,160
on carrying trophies as freight.
834
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,200
Somebody is paying for this thing
to function.
835
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:41,760
Someone provides the clothing,
the scopes, the outdoor gear,
836
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,600
and it makes the big corporate
players in this
837
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,200
think very carefully
838
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:52,080
about how closely they wish to be
associated with certain practices.
839
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:56,000
And I think that will change
and it will change fast
840
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,680
and people will say,
"Don't want to be part of this."
841
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,880
Save our lions!
842
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,680
Ban canned hunting!
843
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,320
Save our lions!
844
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,080
Ban canned hunting!
845
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,360
Save our lions!
846
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:08,560
Ban canned hunting!
847
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,000
Save our lions!
848
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,560
We will shame these people.
849
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,920
We will ostracise these people.
850
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,120
We will put such pressure
on our governments that they've got
nowhere to go
851
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:19,760
and it isn't just lions.
852
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,800
A certain gentleman that breeds
1,200 white rhinos in South Africa
853
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,680
and spends 5.2 million rand a year
feeding them and looking after them
854
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,280
says he can no longer afford
to pay for all of that.
855
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,520
He'll have to cull those animals
unless he can sell the rhino horn.
856
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,160
And we've got to say enough
is enough.
857
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,000
We won't allow that to happen.
858
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,280
We won't allow South Africa to abuse
its position...
859
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,280
Welcome. I'm here tonight
to moderate a debate
860
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:51,240
between two very prominent
conservationists.
861
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:56,200
Will Travers of the Born Free
Foundation and Mr John Hume.
862
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,960
I'm very keen to hear
what he's going to say.
863
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,240
He's far more experienced
than I am in wooing the public.
864
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,480
Don't forget that.
That's what he does.
865
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:08,760
He woos the public.
866
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,760
That's how they collect money and
that's why they are so good at it.
867
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,000
APPLAUSE
868
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:18,840
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
869
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:23,920
I'm a retired property developer
and now custodian of 1,403 rhinos.
870
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,400
If I can sell the horns my 1,400
will become 2,000, 3,000 and 10,000.
871
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,960
I cannot see what is wrong with that
872
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,120
when my rhinos are happy alive.
873
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,280
Come and see them, where they are.
874
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:49,080
I have the recipe
but it takes a lot of money.
875
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,040
I have a way to raise the money
876
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,200
without going begging
all over the world.
877
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,040
All I need is for it to be legal.
878
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,560
I don't think there's any legitimate
case for you having these animals
879
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,880
in large numbers in private areas
of owned land
880
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,640
where you can harvest them,
where you can profit from them,
881
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,880
where you can put them into the
international market
882
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,120
where we can lead
to more destruction.
883
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:11,680
APPLAUSE
884
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,400
Excuse me, sir, I don't
think you understand Africa.
885
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,920
You simply don't understand Africa.
886
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,000
How many consumers could you supply
from your rhinos?
887
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:26,960
I trim my horns every two years so
I can produce with my current rhinos
888
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,320
one tonne of horn a year.
889
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,160
What about the rest of the
population? They must do the same.
890
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,760
That's why I want to give them
to the communities.
891
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,240
I want to teach the communities.
892
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:40,880
What about Sumatran rhino? Indian
rhino? Once you flood your market...
893
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,240
So you want me to give up
and let my rhino all die?
894
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,840
It's all about your rhino.
What about the global rhino?
895
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,800
Let the global rhino
do the same thing.
896
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,880
You have to speak for all rhino,
not just yours.
897
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,240
APPLAUSE
898
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,440
The if it pays, it stays principal.
899
01:08:56,440 --> 01:08:58,960
The commodification of wildlife.
900
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,040
Elephants will stay
if we can sell their ivory.
901
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,720
Lions will stay if the wealthy elite
can shoot them for fun.
902
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,640
And rhino will stay, albeit on
ranches very similar to Mr Hume's,
903
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,000
if their horns can be sold
to remote, distant, deluded buyers.
904
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,320
What a vision of nature
that will be.
905
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:19,120
Contained, confined, commercialised,
and counterfeit.
906
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:26,400
South Africa is yet to decide
on a push to end a global ban
on buying and selling rhino horn.
907
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,280
The move could open up
a $2 billion market
908
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,320
and also determine the fate of the
critically endangered species.
909
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:35,920
Oh, my gosh!
910
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,240
I got this one. You got this one.
You're coming back? You bet.
911
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,480
CHANTING, THUMPING OF DRUMS,
CAR HORNS BLARE
912
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,840
They like to talk about the numbers,
913
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,520
they like to talk
about conservation.
914
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,640
They're just
green washing, basically,
915
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:00,560
the fact that they enjoy killing.
916
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,560
And that's basically
psychopathic behaviour.
917
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,520
We're seeing a lot of progress
for animals.
918
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:06,800
The change is coming.
919
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,640
We're going to put an end
to this.
920
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,200
I'm actually a conservation hunter.
921
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,200
We are very conscientious
about what we do hunt
922
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:20,920
and we don't hunt
any endangered species.
923
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,920
So, I'm against all hunting.
Just all hunting no matter what?
924
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,960
No matter what.
No matter the results or...?
925
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,240
From the conservationists'
point of view,
926
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,080
the money that comes in from
hunting in those areas where those
927
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,160
conservancies are, is actually
what's keeping them there.
928
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,480
Do you honestly think your money
goes anywhere except
929
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:40,720
into someone's back pocket
where you are breeding corruption?
930
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,000
We're going to go to
the school that we paid for.
931
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,400
We're going to go to the clinic...
So, go build a school!
932
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,560
If you want to build a school,
I'll shake your hand,
933
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,040
I'll come build it with you.
I'm just saying... No problem.
934
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,160
Why do you have to shoot an
animal to go build a school?
935
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,760
I'm just saying that's part of
our industry. It's not the same.
936
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:55,960
Murder is murder.
937
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,800
It's not murder if it's an animal.
938
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,280
Yes, it is.
939
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,360
Did you murder a chicken
that you had for lunch?
940
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,200
I don't eat meat, sweetheart.
941
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,920
I'm vegan. OK. I don't eat meat. OK.
942
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,480
Cos I have regard for all species
and all living, breathing things.
943
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,480
Shame on you!
944
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:13,840
Cowards!
945
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,600
It's human nature to be empathetic
with the individual,
946
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,880
and so the animal rights
organisations,
947
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:28,040
that's their thinking,
the individual.
948
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,560
As if that's somehow going
to protect the entire area,
949
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,400
it's going to protect the
whole ecosystem, and it's not.
950
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,760
So they think in terms of Bambi
or Simba or Fifi.
951
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,200
Cos we can see Fifi, we know Fifi
and we send out photographs
952
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,880
of Fifis to our donors.
953
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,360
Then that's great, OK.
954
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,280
But Fifi might be in the
right middle place,
955
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,800
she's right in the most protected
area and you're ignoring
956
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,720
everywhere else
around the periphery.
957
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:55,040
And all the people are cutting
away and they're filling forests,
958
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,520
they're clearing land
and they're bringing their livestock
959
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,400
right next to Fifi.
960
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:00,720
And it all goes.
961
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,880
They're ignoring the fact that
local people
962
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,560
are being killed by lions,
being trampled by elephants,
963
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,880
they're losing their crops,
964
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,960
that they do not share
their value system.
965
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,360
If you cannot empathise
with the local people,
966
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,040
then you're not going to be at all
successful in protecting them in
967
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,280
the long-term.
968
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,560
On the other hand, you have the
hunters who are convinced that where
969
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,920
they operate, they're the
last bastions of support to protect
970
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,440
these areas, but to an animal
welfare organisation,
971
01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:35,480
no, no animal must die.
972
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,680
The reality of hunting is that, yes,
there are a few places where hunting
973
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:47,040
does make a difference, but in many
areas the economics don't add up.
974
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:48,720
They're not generating
enough money.
975
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,400
The land is being lost, especially
in the most corrupt countries.
976
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,120
We've seen it happen over and over
in many parts of Africa,
977
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,400
where they go out and say,
"Everything's fine."
978
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:58,840
No, it's not fine.
979
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:00,040
Things are declining.
980
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,520
What we do is run the camp and kind
of manage the on ground management
981
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:18,080
of the anti-poaching in the area,
and we get a daily rate
982
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,880
when foreign hunters come in to
hunt here, which...
983
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,800
..really subsidises the money that
I have to run my anti-poaching.
984
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,480
You can imagine with all that dust
and dirt and rain...
985
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,160
..our firearms take a bit
of a hammering.
986
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,040
That's why we like these AK action.
987
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,840
Good old AK, built in Israel.
988
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,120
Can't really go wrong with it.
No, no.
989
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,240
We're fighting to save this...
990
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:51,280
..for the community...
991
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:56,360
..while people kill it.
992
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,440
It really is pretty weird.
993
01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:05,720
We're fighting to save something
so that somebody else can kill it.
994
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,120
It just comes back to control...
995
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,720
..ethic, morals, sustainability.
996
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:17,480
You can assimilate the two,
997
01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:19,880
the poachers
and the commercial hunters,
998
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,880
but the difference is,
the poachers...
999
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,320
..they shoot anything
for their teeth.
1000
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:27,920
Literally anything.
1001
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,360
And they will shoot every
last one that there is
1002
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:36,160
because there's a commercial driven
desire for these teeth.
1003
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,800
On the hunting side,
if done correctly...
1004
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,920
..where there is a very
carefully measured off-take...
1005
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:46,880
..I can live with that.
1006
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,360
Killing every last animal,
no, can't live with that.
1007
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,200
Won't do that.
1008
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:53,400
That's just wrong.
1009
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,120
You loaded up there? No.
1010
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,560
You got a loader? You never know
what we can bump here.
1011
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,920
I'm not really after a buffalo.
OK.
1012
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,160
You know what we're going
to need? Bait. Yeah.
1013
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,080
We've got three more places
to bait, but it's your call.
1014
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,600
You don't need to feel pressured.
1015
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,520
How much am I paying for the hippo
for bait?
1016
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,400
4,750.
1017
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,400
And how much for the buffalo? 55.
OK.
1018
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,680
OK.
When you're ready, take it.
1019
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:34,640
GUNSHOT
1020
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,480
Hey!
1021
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,160
This is one of now probably 17 baits
we've put up so far for Philip.
1022
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,440
We've used hippo, zebra, impala...
1023
01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:02,360
..and our biggest problem is
they're rotting really quick.
1024
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,160
You know, they're only
lasting three days, so...
1025
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,480
hopefully the cats find us the next
two days while they're still fresh
1026
01:19:08,480 --> 01:19:09,720
and give us a bit of luck.
1027
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,920
You know, the Bible says, "He gave
man dominion over all the animals,"
1028
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,480
and that dominion comes
with a responsibility,
1029
01:19:20,480 --> 01:19:23,320
but it also means
it's the right to use.
1030
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,960
And so I think that is a big part
of it, and it's a big part of
1031
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:27,360
appreciating God's creation.
1032
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,480
And some people think,
"Well, how can you go out
1033
01:19:29,480 --> 01:19:31,560
"and shoot God's creation?"
1034
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,920
That's a totally false statement,
a false point of view.
1035
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,800
God said, "We have dominion
over the animals" -
1036
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,240
that means we can do what
we choose with them.
1037
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,800
It's a very powerful statement
that's in the Bible.
1038
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:42,880
GUNSHOT
1039
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:45,720
They might go that way.
1040
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,680
Give me the rounds, anyway.
GUNSHOT
1041
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,320
THEY LAUGH
1042
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:51,760
GUNSHOT
1043
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,080
I think it does make it more
special for me, as a believer,
1044
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,400
to go out there and pursue these
animals and know that God
1045
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,360
placed them, and when I put my hand
on that lion, I can promise you...
1046
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,200
..at that moment, as with
all of my life,
1047
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,000
anybody that believes in evolution
is a complete fool.
1048
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,560
I just don't understand how people
can't understand
1049
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,320
that God raised that
animal into existence.
1050
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,200
FLIES BUZZ
1051
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,760
FLIES BUZZ
1052
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:48,560
Oh, my.
1053
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,720
A thought came to mind
as I was coming here
1054
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:21,240
and beginning to feel the
emotion and the anticipation
1055
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:22,440
of this big hunt.
1056
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:26,760
I mean, I've been a...
1057
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,880
I've been a hunter my whole life.
1058
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,160
They say I fell out of the
hunting vehicle when I was two
1059
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,920
or three years old and landed on my
head, maybe that's what's wrong
1060
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:35,680
with me, sometimes.
1061
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,040
And, you know, I lost my dad a few
years ago, and he was a hunter.
1062
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,360
At the time, I was a little angry
with him, the way he would treat me,
1063
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:48,520
but he would do funny things
to me to make me learn to hunt.
1064
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,480
We'd be in a pick-up, and whether it
was a rabbit or a deer,
1065
01:21:51,480 --> 01:21:53,360
summer or winter,
1066
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,200
we'd be driving along and he would
see some game and all he would do is
1067
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,200
turn the engine off
and sit there and not say a word.
1068
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,880
And I would have to find the animal
and get out of the vehicle
1069
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,080
and go take a shot.
1070
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,200
But, no, he challenged me.
My dad challenged me in many ways.
1071
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:10,480
That was just one way.
1072
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:18,280
And I think that he would be
really tickled to be able
1073
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,680
to tell the people
back home at the coffee shop -
1074
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,840
and when I say coffee shop,
I mean the Dairy Queen -
1075
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,040
that his son is out hunting a lion.
1076
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,320
I think if he was around, he'd have
really got a big kick out of that.
1077
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,280
HE WHISPERS: It would be better if
it was a little bit up, but it's...
1078
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:41,880
Yeah. But it'll work.
1079
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,000
But if you could make it
up a little bit.
1080
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,360
Down just a bit. Right there.
1081
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,520
I really feel as if they know
that they're in danger.
1082
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,480
They know that they're not equipped
to avoid extinction.
1083
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,360
It is humans that have messed up
their lives.
1084
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:26,200
We are to blame.
1085
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:38,600
And it makes me
understand that I cannot give up.
1086
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,120
THUNDER RUMBLES
1087
01:23:54,440 --> 01:23:58,680
Why should we save any species
from extinction?
1088
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,800
It's almost like,
why should we breathe?
1089
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,600
It's because it's us!
1090
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,240
Surely we want our world
to survive?
1091
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,360
We want our world to be
a better place.
1092
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,320
GUNSHOT, BIRDS SQUAWK
1093
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:47,800
Oh, my...
1094
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:50,400
Ready?
1095
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,440
Fantastic, bud. An excellent,
excellent shot.
1096
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,440
HE SIGHS, FLIES BUZZ
1097
01:25:04,440 --> 01:25:05,720
Oh, my gosh.
1098
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:41,600
Maybe.
1099
01:25:52,480 --> 01:25:54,400
Just lay down in the sticks,
didn't he?
1100
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,000
I think that was a good idea.
1101
01:26:29,480 --> 01:26:33,360
You don't want those to get
a hold of you, I promise you that.
1102
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:34,520
Those teeth are just...
1103
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,680
..absolutely magnificent.
1104
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,920
What a mane. Look at that red
and the black.
1105
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,120
The black on his ears.
1106
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:50,720
Green eyes.
1107
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,280
And he is an old, old male.
1108
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:57,600
Really a one-of-a-kind.
1109
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:03,360
I made the decision several months
ago that I was coming to hunt lion,
1110
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,720
and this is my trophy
and there's not any bureaucrat
1111
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,760
that can take it away from me.
1112
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,720
OK, Martin, can we set him
up to take some pictures? OK.
