8) Over past several decades #TrophyHunting has been primary, in many cases ONLY method of conservation, in many countries and yet wildlife populations continue to plummet. How is that effective? @trophythefilm @CNN #KillingIsNotConservation #TW pic.twitter.com/H15TLWFUut

11) Conservation groups urge .@CNNFilms and @CNN to reconsider airing @TrophyTheMovie bc it doesn't offer network's viewers an opportunity to see and hear counterviews to #TrophyHunting. #KillingIsNOTConservation #TW #Trophy http://bit.ly/2DvMlde

12) Trophy hunting can be linked to poaching. This can range from instances like with Cecil the lion, where hunters break law, to poachers using trophy hunting as a smokescreen for a more in depth poaching operation. #KillingIsNotConservation #Trophy #TW pic.twitter.com/GwfFbtlrdw

13) Over last 100 years, hunting has been main conservation method employed in many countries. If #TrophyHunting was so great for conservation, why have African lions declined by 95% since the 1940's? #KillingIsNotConservation #TW #Trophy pic.twitter.com/vBlC0n6Abl
