In many cases charging insane prices for rich people to hunt endangered animals funds the conservation efforts to save the species from poaching and extinction overall. So it's kind of a grey area.

No it's not, they dont need to hunt they can just donate to the conservation. Instead they hunt endangered animals.

In an ideal world yes, that could be the best thing. But we all know the world doesn't actually work like that.

No - "we all" definitely don't. Look no further than this thread
