What do you think of sport hunting?

[Beanflicker]

I think you have to be a real fucking cunt to do that. When I hear about people who pay big money to go hunt tigers and shit in Africa, I can't help but hope they get mauled to death. Fuckin pricks.

I mean if you live in a village and you have a lion or something lurking around and snatching you villagers, or if you're a farmer and you have some kind of animal eating your crops or fucking with your livestock, knock yourself out. But if you're not killing an animal either for food or to protect lives or your livelihood, or putting a sick/injured animal out of it's misery, than you're a scumbag IMO.

I'm ok with subsistence hunting. If you have to hunt to live then so be it.

Trophy hunters, outfitters and those who take part in things like spring bear and wolf hunts or people who just like to kill things are the SCUM of the earth. That open season attitude/mentality has been hugely responsible for the desolation of continental Africa and the reduction of life on this planet by 50% in 40 years. Our species acts like its a contest. Just think, at this rate we should have at least an 80% or 90% extinction rate by 2050

I wouldn't be so against sport hunting if the targets were morally appropriate. Banker shooting would really take off with the kids and who cares about the pounds of shredded blubber?

You're talking about stuff like this....



I know PLENTY of hunters, none of which do the above, all of whom care about what they hunt because if what they hunt is no longer around then they would not be able to hunt anymore. There are big pay hunts in Africa which could actually help animal populations as well as the locals in bringing money to their area so their can afford doctors, medicine, water, etc.

Most of the people I know who go after endangered animals shoot them with cameras and not with guns.
