Re that comment navane posted, coupling hunting and conservation just sounds kind of like coupling rape and sex education.

In the US, groups like Ducks Unlimited bring a lot of money to conservation and lots of votes. They provide vocal support for conservative politicians to get behind conservation efforts with money and programs. NRA members are a huge voice in US politics and they are very interested in conservation issues because many of them hunt.
In places in Africa, hunting tourism brings money that contributes to the local economy and supports preserving habitat for these animals. I personally wouldn't hunt these animals, but limited hunting provides impetus to preserve important habitat and species.
That said, I sort of hate this chick. She's not educating people. She's not working to preserve habitat. She's not promoting understanding. She's exploiting a cultural divide for her own gain. She's profiting by making Americans scream at each other over a cultural divide. She's a nasty little fame whore who is representative of everything wrong with reality TV.
