All hippo leather we supply complies with US Laws and CITES Appendix II. Hippos are territorial by nature, and conservation efforts in game reserves throughout Africa, which participate in hunting programs, have been overwhelmingly successful in recent decades. The government and independent biologists sanction hunts to ensure the herds do not reach destructive, unproductive numbers that endanger the lives of the hippos living in these parks and to prevent them from becoming overly aggressive and endangering human lives.
