Sounds like a joke, but it is most likely a serious attempt to improve the bad image of hunting

Interesting comments at the end:
In summary, nothing you do on social media is going to stop this. Trophy hunting is simply not socially acceptable any more. Those who indulge in it will be reviled and those who make money from it will, eventually, go out of business. Not because the internet did them in, but because there is no way to sustain something which such a large percentage of the population is against.
As you so rightly say, nothing can change their minds. They don’t need lectures, or experts telling them that hunting is good, because they know, intrinsically, that it isn’t. They don’t need spokespeople moaning at them that they misunderstand… What’s to understand in killing for sport and profit? The fundamental reason your industry will die is because it has outgrown its relevance. In a world which is becoming more awake to the horrors our human species is inflicting on one another and this planet each and every day, the killing of sentient beings (animals) to fulfil some distorted sense of bloodlust and supremacy is never going to be popular, even less when someone is making mountains of money out of it.
But just as nothing can change the minds of those who are against trophy hunting, nothing can change the minds of your industry which is determined to prove everyone wrong and persist in spite of the overwhelming tide of opinion swelling against you. So yes, you are your own worst enemies. Perhaps there are some of you who may actually start considering the ethics of what you do rather than your legal right to do it. And perhaps some of you may throw in the towel for purely economic reasons. Whatever the case, your industry is doomed. It has to die. It may not be next year, or the next, but it surely will die. Only you as an industry can choose whether your death is going to be dignified or, like that of so many of the animals you dispatch, messy.
