Eff1n2ret Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I've often thought that these trophy hunters should be made to eat what they shoot - all of it. Link to comment
Hummin Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 There is a huge difference between necessary strict regulated legal hunting in some areas compared to other areas where the species are almost gone destinct. I'm no fan of trophy hunters myself but they are part of the programe to preserve the animals in the parks. Educate yourself 1 Link to comment

Educate yourself Sorry, but, with my clearly limited intelligence in your eyes, I am unable to work out how slaughtering animals can in any way be regarded as being conducive to their preservation. According to my simple mind, it would be far better to rectify population imbalances of particular species through capturing and moving certain numbers from areas where they are abundant to areas where they are on the verge of extinction.

bobbin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) i looked at his "trophy pics".. Won't shed a tear for him.. No honour in killing an animal with a high-power rifle with scope. If you want a "trophy" get in there with a spear.. after getting close enough. Feel bad for his family, if he has one. Edited July 9, 2022 by bobbin Link to comment
Hummin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 We can agree on trophy hunting is barbaric and should not exists in 2022, but with human invasion in the areas where there is wild life, regulations is unfortunate needed. They claim there is "compelling evidence" that a ban on so-called trophy hunting will not help protect animals - and in fact will "negatively affect" conservation. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49524189 1 Link to comment

No different to pressing countries whose territories include bio-significant green areas to conserve them, and if necessary pay compensation arranged internationally. Link to comment

Whatever, this is the model they say they have some kind of succes with, that also benefits the locals, and gives back to the community. Trophe hunters is outcasts, real hunters who contribute to serve and preserve respect. 1 Link to comment

A few minutes later after someone had accused the hunt of wholesale slaughter she said that wasn't true and that the hunts only killed a small number a year. Once someone pointed out that she'd contradicted herself she started to flounder. There's no excuse for fox hunting. Link to comment

The argument I have seen in favor of fox hunting is that fox hunters want to preserve the hedgerows where foxes den. Modern farmers don't like them because they occupy land that could otherwise produce crops. On the other hand there is that saying of Wilde's about foxhunting: "The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable." 1 Link to comment
