Cull the herd of an animal that is almost endangered? Regardless, I'm not going to fight you guys on this one.Reading through some of the comments, it appears this was a legal hunt on a nature preserve that is going to use the funds for the benefit of the preserve / animals. While I don't particularly agree with trophy hunting (if you want to kill the animal, at least use it for food etc. and not merely for a wall mount), if the preserve identified this animal as one that needed to be culled AND the funds help them protect land/animals in a conservatory manner, then I have a hard time being outraged. A lot of "IF" statements made there, but I have not dug for solid facts just going by other statements made surrounding that thread that suggest this possibility.
Possibly. I don't know all the facts or circumstance. Maybe it was old/sick. Perhaps it posed a danger to the rest of the herd. I dunno. It's also possible someone just wanted the money.Cull the herd of an animal that is almost endangered? Regardless, I'm not going to fight you guys on this one.
GT GT, mark it down. I agree 100%Listen, I'm not at all against hunting.......a lot of friends of mine hunt deer (and I understand the arguments about them being overpopulated) for the food and I have no issue with this.
My argument is simply, if you kill something for the fun of simply killing something or........in this case, kill an elephant, you're a sick fuck. Nothing more, nothing less.
