It is one thing to go and hunt wild animal, for food. But to go out and simply shoot them for sport, is purely disgusting. Who needs to shoot a giraffe, a monkey, etc.?! Did he eat them?

Who “needs” to shoot a duck or a deer in the United States? Oh, the vast majority of US hunters eat what they shoot, granted...but it’s not as if they’re hunting because they need the meat. In almost all cases, people in this country hunt because they enjoy doing so....for sport, in other words.

And there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

There have been too many animal characters portrayed in fictitious media as having human personalities, and too many human beings have been stupid enough to believe those characterizations.

I know people who hunt coyote.
I don’t know anyone who eats coyote.

I have had a hunting license every year since 1965 (including while I was in the Corps), I go hunting every year.
I have brought home antelope, elk, venison, and bear.
Mainly a bird hunter now because the larger game is no longer a sporting affair, once you know how and where to kill them, the sport just goes out of it.
Plus I am getting older and don’t feel like humping a hind quarter out of the back country, birds are lighter and easier to carry.
As far as the varmints (coyotes, bears, mountain lions, no wolves here “yet”) are concerned, I will and have killed them if they start to go after my livestock or dogs.
Otherwise just no reason to end their lives, so I don’t.

I only kill’em if they start to get frisky with my livestock or dogs.
Otherwise, they stay on their side of the mountain and I’ll stay on mine.

Baboons are mean, nasty critters that will destroy your camp if you are in their territory, and even kill people given a chance.

True, vaboons are often as much of a pest as coyote are here.
Yet because some see them as “cute”, they stampede to condemn.

Tickle the critters with a big ostrich feather, and take their pictures. Of course, while attempting to tickle them, they might just rip your face off by mistake. Persist with the tickling, face ripped off or no.

I in favor of killing anything that has a legal hunting season for that type.

Yet another example of "hyper nominalization" where the speaker/writer is so afraid of using the objective form (me, him, her, ...) that he uses instead INCORRECTLY the nominative forms.

These grammar errors abound. A local radio host (Mike Broomhead, KFYI) does this so often I will interrupt my commute and call my English teacher wife with his latest outrage. She calls me and encouraged green tea for the rest of the morning 😆.

Okay, if those are your principles, fine, live by them. If someone has a little different principles, why not just let them live by those principles without comment?

There are good reasons that wild animals are culled. Baboons are obvious to anyone who has been to Africa - they are pests, very destructive to human food resources and a known transmitter of disease to humans. If they aren't shot, they are often poisoned, because for health purposes, their numbers have to be kept down. Given this guy's profession, I'm sure that he is far more aware of the need for culling giraffe than his critics. Just because you might not pull the trigger because of your moral convictions doesn't mean that someone else shouldn't.

The only thing that this guy did that was wrong was to display the pictures on social media. That was stupid but what he did was not immoral.

s/b...OF HIM,,,HIM AND HIS WIFE.

In this case, the reflexive form should be used: "...he took a picture of himself and his wife."

In Africa all protein is eaten, and the locals will be eating what the hunter doesn’t want. Bush meat.

I find that I can forgive the esoteric intensive/reflexive rule, but the nominative/objective is unforgivable.

Only kidding
