Episode 561 - Elena Rubino || Trophy Hunting Perceptions

While searching the interweb for Rhino documentaries, Robbie came across a TED talk by a professor from the Uiversity of Arkansas Monticello called Elena Rubino talking about Rhinos. He was immediately intrigued as its not a place that one thinks discussions around Rhino Conservation and Trade come from. Robbie reached out, and it turns out the Elena did her Ph.D. work on the perceptions of Trophy Hunting, and naturally that was something he wanted to learn about. Robbie is joined today by Dr. Elena Rubino, a professor at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, to talk about a survey she undertook to understand perceptions around trophy hunting. As you will find out the research is fascinating and really provides some science to what society thinks about hunting writ large.
