Big game backlash: Protests against celebrity hunter Melissa Bachman mount

[DamianTV]

It's the smiling that's the fuse on this. It's fucked up to be happy about killing something, especially such a beautiful and majestic creature.

Its even more fucked up to be smiling about having just killed something that will be EXTINCT in ten to twenty years.

 

[DamianTV]

Some people seriously have nothing better to do in their lives than to complain.

That hunt must have been amazing, I'd love to get that opportunity one day.

Well, what goes around, comes around; Law of Karma and all that.

Yeah, these two things.

Well Mugabe has done such a great job with the place since he came into power, I wonder how anyone could ever not prefer it now?!?! I mean, Rhodesia was a net exporter of meat and grain, but now people are kazillionaires!!!

Yeah , people probably have no idea how nice it was before the retards got control .

I'm guessing you haven't read through the thread. Without managed hunting you can definitely expect lions to be extinct in a few decades. With managed hunting and the wilderness conservation it brings, we can postpone that for a couple more decades. Eventually, the lion will go extinct, boo hoo, that's life.

The Field museum has the Tsavo lions.I am not really sure how many people these two lions ate , at least 35.

Danke's eaten more women big game than that.

Should have just shot a cow. Then it'd be ok.

Man, talk about shooting fish in a barrel. Cows will basically walk into the butcher for you.

She said she's against poaching but what is the difference between her "guided" hunts and poaching?

The difference is that the money made from her hunt are used to feed the animals and maintain the national park.In my country most of the national parks are under private renting and they take care of the animals and forest while making their money from some English nobility or old people who dream of being hunters so they will walk them trough the forest and let them shoot some old animal for which they pay good money.Now there are no lions here,they hunt for wild goats and boars but the principle is the same.

Catching poachers and hunts like this is what keep the parks maintained.

Oh, okay. "Perfectly legal." So that makes it perfectly acceptable? Take your trophy and shove it, lady.

I agree with your sentiment. But if it's perfectly legal, that does make the protest to deny her entry into the country look pretty ridiculous to me.

I have no desire to shoot lions, but I'm certainly not going to condemn those who do.

Bambi's cute too and I'll absolutely kill and eat it.

Seriously? Animals hunt to eat. The idea of killing for fun is disgusting. Hunting is disgusting.

Lions will kill hyenas for fun/sport/spite. They've known to kill other animals with no intention of eating them as well. Hell, even fat housecats kill for sport all the time.

I have seen many housecats kill for the fun of it.

I'd show up for the tour and shoot the horses.

I don't have an opinion one way or another regarding the protest.

How is it not hunting?

 

[Snew]

The only reason to kill one of God's creatures is for food or safety; never for pride or tax gains.

Truth.

No, but lions aren't people and don't have rights. What's worse about killing a lion than killing any other animal?

Liberal environmentalists are annoying. Not necessarily saying you are one, but this:

lion she has just executed and murdered in our country. As taxpayers we demand she no longer be granted access to this country and its natural resources."

Is absolute environmentalist, God-hating crap.
