We’re nearing the one-year-mark of America’s involvement in the fight against the self-declared “Islamic State.” Call it a war, if you like--it’s one President Obama still doesn’t have Congressional authority to wage.

Trophy Hunting
Trophy HuntingAug 19, 201516mGuest: Richard Hayes, PhD., Visting Lecturer at Stanford Law and a member of the White House Advisory Council on Wildlife Trafficking Prosecutors in Zimbabwe have now charged a local tour guide and farmer in facilitating the death of Cecil the Lion by an American dentist last month. The hunt appears to have been conducted illegally and has sparked intense international debate over the morality and legality of trophy hunting African animals. Protestors are demanding an end to the practice. A number of US airlines have stopped allowing the spoils of such hunts to return to the states as cargo on their planes. Today we discuss possible policies that might discourage trophy hunting.

It’s efficient and seemingly less subject to the subtle bias of humans. Except, maybe not that last part. Research has found that algorithms can actually be as biased as human beings.
