does your list include hunting all animals for sport or hunting endangered animals for sport Habitat loss and conflicts with local farmers are the main cause if the declining Lions population. Safari hunting is protecting these animals and their overall numbers
Bullshit! That's about as likely as the ducks I shot last time I went hunting were named Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
All animals for sport. I understand hunting for conservation and hunting for food, and killing an animal in self defense. But not for sport. That is sadistic, and it's sad to think that people's dicks are so small they have to kill a majestic creature to make them feel like a man.
There was a story recently about an asshole who tried to hunt and kill an elephant and he got killed by the elephant. That's justice.
How is it possible to see anything but disgust when comparing a lion on the plain to a stuffed lion in one's "big game room." Taking such trophies are despicable. A living lion is a trophy, a stuffed lion is an outrage.
You should have a bigger issue with Zoo's then. We cage them so we can bring our kids to point at em.
Deer are pretty majestic creatures. Hunters kill lots of them every year and there are still lots of the critters around. I know lots of people who are into deer hunting big time. Spend thousands of dollars on guns, ammo, leases, gear, deer stands, camo 4 wheelers that they ride while wearing bright orange vests. I like the taste of deer meat. I have been deer hunting maybe 10 or 12 times in my life, always because somebody talked me into in and practically guaranteed I would kill a deer in their wildly bubbling enthusiasm. I have never seen a deer in the woods while deer hunting. Nobody I have been deer hunting with has even gotten a shot but every year they tell how big the buck they shot and how big its rack was. If I'm going to freeze my balls off at 4 AM the rack I want isn't on a deer. I used to duck hunt. Don't any more because I have no good place to go. I ate the ducks but I didn't really go because I needed them for food. I knew I was going to eat whether I got any or not. But is was sporting. I missed as many as I hit. But there is nothing sporting about having some natives beat the bushes to scare an animal directly into your line of fire so you can shoot an old beast that is near death from old age. Especially if the beast is driven from it's legally protected sanctuary. You have money for an African safari? Donate it for wildlife preservation, have a fiberglass lions head made to put on your wall and take a vacation in the Carribean or Maui. A fiberglass replica is all you're getting anyway. Modern taxidermists make a mold using the skin of the animal and then discard the parts. I have a 41 pound redfish I caught on my wall. I don't think any part of it is actual fish material. Cost me more to have it stuffed than the cost of the charter fishing trip when I caught it.
I used to hunt ducks rabidly. One day I stopped. No longer made sense to me to shoot ducks, that I liked so much.
They are somewhat cannibalistic. One time I ate lunch in a park near a pond that had some ducks in it. I had some fried chicken left over and when I would throw a little piece in the water the ducks would swarm in and fight over it. OK, chickens are ducks but somehow eating your fellow birds seems a bit creepy.
