American Game Hunter Kills Giraffe and Sparks Controversy

a reply to: watchitburn

If you come across Bigfoot on a hunting trip would you Kill it? I don't think I would unless it was aggressive. Even with the great fame and money that would come if I did. I just don't think it would be right .

I am a hunter.


I will never understand how anyone can enjoy killing animals like it was a game.

You an't no man if you feel good from killing an animal for fun.

This thread gives me a strange urge to go club baby seals and make seat covers for my car.

I guess I should have read the entire op before I posted.

That 1 ton of meat was distributed to local villages.

So this is really just a hit piece?

Wonder how many people who go all crazy over a human killing an animal think about the monster who killed their meat neatly packaged at the grocery store

Agreed. So long as they are killing the animal for food and not fun I have no problem with it.

And yes the way our food is treated in the usa is far far worse than anything a hunter with a gun has ever done.

people up in arms over this don't hve a better solution.

i do... stop killing things.

us in the west enjoy the relative safety of living in lands where humans have already killed all the large animals

yeah we already killed everything we were afraid of

but we have no right to tell them how to manage their wildlife

how arrogant to think they need humans to manage them. same as the idiots that think we need to logging to help forests grow...

Hunting for sport kind of degrades the entire purpose of hunting.

Agreed.

She should've tried killing a cheetah running at top speeds if she wants to go a true no frills hunt challenge.

With her bare hands, at least then IF she won she would really have a reason to feel proud.

What's wrong with hunting being fun? I mean aside from the camaraderie and activity. The actual killing. That is ingrained in our psyche. It's been there since we walked upright.

I'm more concerned about the mentality of someone wanting to kill something defenseless just to watch it die and get a rise out of it.

would it be as satisfying if the giraffe was a robotic giraffe?
when death brings satisfaction, and to circumvent barriers to feed that satisfaction, then something is incredibly wrong with that person. a functioning psychopath.

Guess you missed the part where 2000 lbs of meat went to feed local villagers?

Aww good ol' americans helping out poor people by shooting their wildlife for sport.

Guns don't kill people, blood sports do.

It's barbaric and bull#. I hope she gets cancer.

a reply to: spacedoubt

positioning the carcass, and posing with it while grinning....Very very weird. It just strikes me as weird.

When I hunt I don't even consider doing this.
I have friends who do and make fun of them for it.

Yeah, some of us have evolved past blood lust... thankfully.

You mean use to other people killing your food instead of having to yourself
