Killing animals for sport

[jerrys]

Sorry if anyone disagrees but killing animals for sport is hideous.
But the trophy hunter and the matador are treated as heroes.

I also hate the idea but will fight for the right of those that do it. Just because we don't agree with something does't always make it wrong. Those type of hunts(giraffe) have been proven to help the area in many different ways.

Personally, I would not do it but thats the beauty of living in a free country.

Shooting giraffe's in Africa?

I don't know any trophy hunter treated as a hero outside of their own circles. At least the matador is risking injury to himself, even if I think it's mostly a silly and unnecessary sport.

Big Challenges...I'm so impressed.


Scum-Bags!

I hope each and every one of them experiences a great deal of suffering before they're gone...KARMA!

Lol didn't even cross my mind.

Like I said not for me but I love a good steak and my leather jacket so I would be a pretty big hypocrite if I objected.

Maybe some people should look up the whole story on that giraffe hunt.

This is copied from a BBC article and is true of many places.
This "consumptive utilisation of wildlife" model ("it pays it stays") also works well in some other regions. The Bubye Valley Conservancy in Zimbabwe for example has more than 400 lions and one of the most important populations of rhino still in existence.

The Conservancy is funded entirely by hunting and, according to the reserve manager Blondie Leathem, a ban would be "devastating".

People who don’t know anything about wildlife conservation and hunting and how they go together, are usually the people who cry about killing animals.

This is exactly the same way I feel. I think killing animals for sport is wrong, but today is Canada Day and I am going to my sister's house to eat some hamburgers. I guess I'm part of the problem too.

Agree basically, except for the idea we should feel guilty because humans are carnivores. People eating dead animals is not "a problem."
