This shit really makes me sad. Wild cats are the most awesome of creatures

The African lion (Panthera leo leo) faces the threat of extinction by the year 2050, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director Dan Ashe warned today. The sobering news came as part of the agency's announcement that it has officially proposed that African lions receive much-needed protection under the Endangered Species Act.
The decision to list the big cats as threatened—one level below endangered—would allow the U.S. government to provide some level of training and assistance for on-the-ground conservation efforts and restrict the sale of lion parts or hunting trophies into the country or across state lines.
The total population of lions in Africa is currently estimated at about 34,000 animals, down by at least 50 percent from three decades ago. Those numbers, however, tell only part of the story. As Ashe pointed out during a press conference today, about 70 percent of the remaining lions—24,000 cats—live in just 10 "stronghold" regions in southern and eastern Africa. Lions in other regions, such as West Africa, have been almost completely wiped out.
FWS identified three main threats currently facing lions: habitat loss, loss of their prey base to the bushmeat trade, and human-lion conflict. All three threats are inexorably linked. The human population of sub-Saharan Africa is expected to double by the year 2050, which will result in more conversion of habitat to agriculture, more hunting of the wild ungulates the lions depend upon for prey, and more instances of hungry lions attacking livestock and then being killed in retaliation. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), retaliatory or preemptive attacks against lions are the worst threats the species faces. The IUCN lists African lions as a whole as vulnerable to extinction.

If you don't eat it don't kill it. Otherwise you're probably a meek twat with a little man complex. Pose with forced smiles with your significant other or co workers, not dead giraffes and chimpanzees.

Sick to kills such beautiful animals.

Sick to let such animals be unappreciated, over populate, become nuisance animals. Sick to contribute to factory farms, sick to eat food loaded with steroids and antibiotics, sick to eat food that comes from abused poorly nourished animals.

You are what you eat.

I was driving down the street yesterday and saw my friend putting an elk head, antlers and all. Turns out he had filled his tag, a nice bull elk, and was at his father's house dressing it out.

He was putting the elk head, antlers and all, in the back of his truck.

Remember most Highland estates have deer heards which need culling.
A few of my friends go deer stalking they pay it helps the local economy remember lovely countryside don't pay the bill .!
My good friends are farmers and also operate a slaughter house you eat meat you can't be a Hippocratic simple.
Tut tut wild food we are not on about endangered animals here I have eat venison rabbit hare wild duck game birds etc.
I have fished river and sea eat plenty of fish also collect plenty of shell fish.
I have collected wild fruits and nuts and mushrooms.
So when some daft git has a opinion on something they no nothing about I laugh .
The internet is full righteous Eric's who are enraged about what someone has said or a picture of a dead goat or deer causing mass outrage.

This is not Sport Hunting it is cowardice

Foxes, crows and birds of prey are being killed so grouse are kept alive for the hunters’ guns

Birds of Prey killed for a bloody grouse and some Tarquin and his bum chum pals to shoot ..madness
