Trophy hunters making their sport hated

Post by philip964 »

I'm not a hunter, but in my opinion these people are not helping their sport.

There is no problem.

Sounds like all these kills this women made were all legal.

People who perform lawful abortions, don't photograph the babies and post them on their Facebook pages.

If they took their evil deeds public how long do you think it would be until abortions would be illegal.

We live in a democracy, it only takes 51% of the people to think killing a giraffe for a trophy is horrible for it to be made illegal. Hunting is not in the bill of rights.

People like this do real hunters no favors.

First, I don't know how the US can make girrafe and other trophy hunting illegal on another continent.

Have you not seen the recent videos of Planned Parenthood execs? I am seeing limited if any coverage from MSM and little outrage from other than some pro life people.

By the way, we do not live in a true democracy where the majority rules.

:iagree: and there is nothing wrong with posting them for friends to see. People on this forum do it. Id do it too if I had a huge giraffe I was proud of.

Everyone wants to get into other peoples business and tell them what they should and shouldn’t do.

It seems to me hunters should reply to anti hunters the same way we should reply to anti gunners. viewtopic.php?f=94&t=78866" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If what the hunters do is legal and humane I believe it is none of my business.

Andy,
Come on now, being eaten alive from the rear end up isn't gruesome and inhumane. We all know only bullets and arrows are cruel.
/sarcastic jest\

Pretty sad how some people seem to value animal lives above those of humans. (Not directed to the OP. Just an observation from what I've seen recently regarding Cecil the Lion and other hunting hating. )

It's a mistake when people attribute human emotions, thoughts, logic and reasoning to animals.

It annoys me when people (ie. the general public and their 'sound bite' view of the world, and the media that feeds them) don't/can't/won't distinguish between hunting & poaching.

It like lumping ATM withdrawals together with bank robberies - they're both acts of getting money from a bank, right?
