The protest broke out quickly. And it is al Government of South Africa who is addressing a petition launched on change.org, per ask for a ban on entry into the country. They are well 403.467, at the time of this writing, the people who have signed it from all over the world.
Hunting is not a new hobby in Bachmann's life, who has prided herself on it since she was little. She owns a real arsenal of rifles, bows and other weapons. It is all this that makes its presence not only unwanted, but "in absolute contradiction with the conservation crop South Africa boasts", reads the appeal of the petition.
Unfortunately, however, today this practice is completely legal, so much so that there are agencies that deal with offering this service to tourists. For example, "Frikkie du Toit Safari's - Hunt with Professionals"Is a safari hunting program set in luxurious hunting camps in South Africa. These are guided hunting sessions, to have more opportunities to kill the animals. Detailed information and photos of hunted animals are available on his site.
