Sorry, you fell for billionaire propaganda.
Lions (which is the animal in the above picture) and most other big game like elephants, tigers, any large cats etc (so all the animals that are poached by billionaires) never need to be culled. Most of them are actually endangered species and poaching them is highly illegal. Even stuff like antelopes, water buffalos or some zebra specias are endangered.
Stuff that needs to be culled are animals like deer in europe because we have completely eradicated their natural predators and not culling them would completely destroy the ecosystem as they eat young trees which kills the forest. And even that is only done if you have a license and with strict reporting duties.

oh yea and elephants are pretty much endangered right now as are the cats in africa. despite the “hunting” it seems like culling is a justification to continue hunting it. when they slaughtered all the old male elephants the younger male ones started to attack and kill other big game, without the larger males controlling them.

Also rabbits, FERAL pigs in the us needs to be culled.
