    Hey, it's Frogbreath who deserves the bashing in this thread. Coming in here with his bullshit after we all put our differences behind us to tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree and light a candle for Cecil.

    We better be careful. We wouldn't want to cause the old Comrade to stroke out. Not for his sake but for the sake of the poor undertaker whom Red will no doubt tell that he is embalming him with the wrong fluid.

    Red is tougher than you think. He will be just fine.

    Well, aside from your article probably being published by PETA, you have to look at the big picture. Flights go into the safari countries, money is spent at lodges, food, etc...Locals are hired as guides, trackers, field dressers, security, full time hunting ground security, local crafts and art are purchased, etc, etc, etc, Lots of money is pumped into the local community. Safari Hunting does real good for these animals and the communities,...infinitely more than selling more Kleenex.

    Sure they do. They're the most likely to have names.

    Allegedly. Most likely the Guides/Hunting Outfitter are at fault here. I understand the media wants to barbeque the hunter because they hate all hunting in general and hunters are evil bastards, but i expect more objectivity from Tiger fans.
