This Man Paid $ 110,000 To Kill A Goat From An Endangered Species

Last week, Pakistani newspapers published a photo that attracted enormous public attention, according to the Washington Post. It’s a photo of a dead wild goat and the American hunter who paid $ 110,000 for this “pleasure”, smiling next to its dead body.

This unique goat is called a "horned markhor", the national animal of Pakistan, which can stand 4 feet tall and weigh up to 300 pounds. Previously, goats were hunted for their meat, disappeared due to deforestation, military activities, and uncontrolled hunt for their horns. By 2011, only 2,500 goats remained alive.
