Agree. Killing for killing sake is disgusting. If you’re going to kill something, eat the meat, use the bones, and tan the hide it rather than letting it die for nothing but sport. Makes you wonder how many times those animal hunts get too boring and there’s an organized shoot for humans.
I know a vegetarian who orders pepperoni pizza and throws the pepperoni into the trash. Excuse me, but the meat juice cooked into the pizza so she’s still eating meat. Throwing the meat into the trash is worse than eating it on the pizza. Poor animal gave it’s life for nothing. These fake vegetarians and trophy hunters are the same.
I hunt for sport but eat what I shoot. I watch hunting shows and watch african hunting shows. Not only a a ton of money influxes into poor areas, I have watched a time lapse video of an elephant kill where the local tribes people summarily stripped the carcass down to nothing. Supposedly this was in a few hours. Nothing goes to waste and where predictors are shot it is done with the best conservation In mind for the region.
In my part of the world if the deer population goes down and coyotes go up, it’s time to take out a few predators.
B freaking S, hunters do more for conservation than any blow hard moralists could do in a hundred lifetimes. I went to South Africa I hunted a cape buffalo for “sport” and all I got were great memories, a beautiful trophy and a big bill, but I would do it again in a heartbeat, no one appreciates god’s gifts to man more than a hunter, especially someone sitting in an air conditioned room probably watching the Kardashians crap on all of his gifts.
