Kind of hard to oppose abortion when you place an animal's life above a humans isn't it? Perhaps you're not pro-life so please ignore.
I love my guns but could never imagine killing a lion, tiger or elephant. Almost criminal IMO.
Hunt inner city ferals.....then you will earn points in my book.
If that type of moronic thinking prevailed no great creatures would be left on the planet.
If you are a Christian, why on earth would you say you would rather have the lion track her? It wouldn’t be tracking her unless it was expecting to eat her. Sad!
That lion is no predator when she is sitting off in the distance with a rifle and a 30x scope.
Now inner cities have true predators.
I feel the same way.
About what?
“Why? You seem to be a reasonable and logical person. What is your logic here?”
She is way too happy killing that majestic beast and I wish he could get up and leave the boob job (definition of “boob”: a stupid person; fool; dunce). I have no logic for my opinion except it hurts to see that dead lion.
At 60 yds. with a 30 power scope she wouldn’t even
be able to find the lion.
That lion could cover the 60 yds in a couple of bounds.
Trophy hunting isn’t my sport.
I kill to survive.
What, another impala eater? I’m guessing it is a close relative in the impala family. I can see it is at least a young adult, in so far as it has horns, I don’t think they’re antlers.
Killing for a “trophy” ain’t a sport.
“why on earth would you say you would rather have the lion track her? It wouldnt be tracking her unless it was expecting to eat her.”
The point is, the lion had no chance with her rifle scope and distance the rifle would fire. Put her out there without a rifle and then they are on equal par, tracking each other.
I see videos of trophy hunters killing elephants and it literally makes me sick. How can one justify that? The elephant cannot run and attack nor run and hide.
“I see videos of trophy hunters killing elephants and it literally makes me sick.”
Seeing the dead lion wasn’t my happiest moment of the day, either.
"The mosquito's a clever little bastard. You can track him for days and days until you really get to know him like a friend. He knows you're there, and you know he's there. It's a game of wits. You hate him, then you respect him, then you kill him."
"Well, I follow the moth in the helicopter to lure it away from the flowers, and then Roy comes along in the Lockheed Starfighter and attacks it with air-to-air missiles."
"A lot of people have asked us why we don't use fly spray. Well, where's the sport in that?"
The same logic applies to lions. For all intents and purposes they cannot run and attack as the people hunting them are at a safe distance.
That is so far out in ‘left’ field I don’t know where to begin. I am glad God gave us brains to use I wish more people would use them.
I’d never heard of it before, called a Dik Dik.
Tiny little things.
At 60 yards that lion could cover that distance in less than three seconds so it had a good chance of killing her if that makes you feel better.
