Most people don't like hunting these animals, but you're missing the point. If they don't allow people to come in an hunt them as outrageous costs, then they don't have the money to support the remaining herd. What would you have them do?

25k is not outrageously high at all. Its ridiculously low for an animal with a population of 415k to 700k (est) in the whole continent (down from 1.3 million in 1980). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant.

In the US 25k doesn't seem like much (but it is, the vast majority of the country doesn't even make that in a year).

In Africa, 25k is like 5 million dollars. It pays for quite a bit of actual animal conservation.
