A lot of those hunts are actually part of conservation efforts to cull older males who are stopping the younger ones from mating, and the money goes towards conservation.
Looks like the older male got culled in this case lmao
He could have donated a million dollars to conservation and hired a local conservation officer perform the culling. Instead he acted out his disgusting instinct to murder animals for fun (not for food and not for conservation).
Local hunters culling deer is fine. It needs to happen since humans have removed predators. People traveling to kill animals is them going out of their way to kill beautiful things for fun.
People getting their rocks off and pretending that they're engaging in a selfless pursuit. Keeping pieces of animals they/their handler killed, to remind them of what a good conservationist they are.
You're talking rrophy hunting right? Because when you get hungry, you need real hunters.
Which of my words gives the impression I'm talking about actual hunters?
That's why Calrification, friend. Thought that was the case, wanted to make sure.
The context is pretty clear, especially within the chain of replies.
No it wasn't. But thanks for butting in and trying to stir shit up.
It's not that the effect can't be good when properly researched and regulated. It's that I've simply got no respect nor sympathy for anyone who would find trophy hunting to be a fun activity worth paying for. Fuck 'em. If they cared about conservation, they could donate money to that effort. They want to kill animals for sport, that's their primary motivation.
As soon as a person. Decides to keep a trophy, I have an issue. Ive hunted many times. Either I used everything or ga e what I had to someone who did. Even antlers and hooves have uses.
Sooo many people don't know this
