Shooting any living thing for any reason, other than say food or health reasons is beyond me....as a 'sport' words fail me.

They go in the forest and shoot the animals , rip off the orchids from the trees , they cut the big trees to sell the wood , even the land they grow on is not their's , they go fishing with nets on coral reefs , they get their food and income by exploiting their own environment , but they do not protect it !

 

Let's face it ... their lack of education and their greed will only accelerate the degradation of their own quality of life .

But they cannot understand this ... better go and cut down another part of the natural forest for another rubber plantation ...

 One thai law says , that , if you cultivate a piece of land for 10 yrs , you can claim it as your own . ( only for thai people of course ) .

That law is outdated and needs to be changed .
