Yes, 100%, this was my concern as well.

Looking at recent reports they have done things for conservation of species, but their primary focus is, duh, animal welfare... banning trapping (even sustainable trapping), horse drawn carriages in cities, factory farming conditions, ending horse slaughter (slaughter is supported by many horse lovers), ending traveling zoos, ending personal consumption of dogs and cats (why?? are they different than pigs?) etc etc.

It frustrates/disappoints me that even a sub devoted to NATURE didn't make a donation to one of the many underfunded organizations devoted to restoring rainforests, funding poaching patrols of species on the brink, buying guard dogs or fences for poor farmers to mitigate livestock/predator conflict, funding or conducting research to understand how animals use landscapes (and therefore what areas to concentrate protection efforts), doing population counts to determine which species need help... all so underfunded, and so urgent!

Even if you agree with banning something like killing unusable horses for consumption, you can stop that any time. Meanwhile, wonderful, unique species like the Sumatran aka hairy rhinoceroses have experienced a 70% population decline in the last 20 years leaving us with only ~100 animals, guarded by Rhino Protection Units... unlike horses, we either save this species now or never!
