To bad those brave great white hunters and their apologists, like the JohnnyMop, wouldn't go and select some ISIS fighters to shoot. It might put some real meaning into their selfish lives. |

I already said I think trophy hunting is silly and they would be better off doing their hunting with a tranquilize dart gun, helping the vets take care of the animals but the fact remains, the only way these countries can get the money to run these conservation programs is to allow some limited hunting. (generally targeting old animals that will be dying soon anyway) If you people bitching about this would get off your wallets and send them $50,000- $60,000 each like the dentist, you could save some animals but it is easier to just bitch about it. The same is true here. If PETA put as much money into habitat restoration as Ducks Unlimited, they would have standing when they bitch about duck hunting. |
