FK – I don’t believe. I think there is real evidence and testimony and lot of hokum generated in the name of profit and a lot of easily misled morons who are looking for easy answers.
Well actually that eccentric fellow is making that crap up and then having it done. What’s that old saying about the difference between insane and eccentric? A .22 short hollowpoint would cure it.
More than 39,000 African trophy animals have been legally shipped through Seattle since 1999, including 15 white rhinoceroses, nearly 200 elephants, more than 300 leopards and nearly 1,200 cape buffaloes, species — along with lions — that make up the so-called “Big Five” species of African hunting.
A Paul Allen-backed initiative this November will bring the African conservation fight to Washington voters but largely leave trophy hunters out of its crosshairs. Initiative 1401 would criminalize the sale and distribution of parts and products of 10 species, including elephants, tigers and lions. The campaign believes that would “reduce the incentive for trade and the poaching of these animals,” said spokesman Aaron Pickus.
FK – I’m a special oppressed rural person who’s all for helping wildlife. We need to ‘re-wild’ every major city in the world. Erect 14′ high fences around them, not avoiding where the rich “Liberal”(commie) trash lives, and stock the enclosures with whatever large predators are or were endemic to that region before settlement. No one would be allowed to molest or kill any predator feeding on un-armed “Liberal”(commie) trash. We can do it. Yes we can. Make the world a better place.
FK – The freaks in this country have lost their effing minds. But that’s assuming they had any to begin with. Their mindless blood lust far exceeds that of any hunter.
At a court in Hwange town this morning, Theo Bronkhorst told journalists the backlash following the killing of Cecil the lion had been ‘traumatic’.
He claimed he didn’t even know who Cecil was at the time he assisted Dr Palmer – someone he describes as a ‘good man’ – slaughter the popular lion.
His comments will anger animal rights campaigners who are calling for the hunters to face justice.
FK – This is all commie propaganda. They will control everything we do if we don’t force them to stop.
FK – Don’t normally hunt from a blind but if I can share hers I’ll start.
The “Liberal”(commie) trash would rather these people lose their jobs and go flip veggie burgers:

FK – I hunt but I have to ask who the hell would want to spend 30 years looking at that elephant? And what’s that thing on that rock?
The ethical, sustainable hunting of wildlife (including trophy hunting) is recognized as an integral part of wildlife conservation policies and strategies[i]. The illegal taking of game is classified as poaching, a crime, condemned and fought against by enforcement agencies and the hunting community alike.
The CIC supports and commends the Zimbabwe authorities and Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides’ Association for the swift actions in relation to the poaching of Cecil. Parties found guilty should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
FK – Whether this was ‘poaching’ or not seems to still be unclear. If the authorities were so concerned for Cecil’s safety why wasn’t he behind a tall fence? What happens to older male lions when they can no longer defend their pride? Male domestic house cats often kill young kittens, and each other in their quest to further their genetic line. Cecil probably did the same in his career.
To Anti-hunters all hunting is ‘poaching.’ They would ban it all if they could. Giving an inch to them is a grave mistake. We must stop apologizing to our domestic blood enemies and treat them as they deserve to be treated, as garbage that doesn’t belong in our country.
‘Trophy hunting’ is just saying you killed an animal that is allegedly a little harder to kill than the average member of that species, unless it truly is some kind of ‘canned hunt’ or some such. Don’t let our domestic blood enemies decide the language we use or how we express our Liberty.
Welcome to the jungle:
FK – From the vid description:
“This is what happened when a 4 year old male lion wandered into the territory of two dominant 9 year old male lions. The video was shot on safari in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and shows how the two older dominant males protect their territory by killing another male lion who chose to chase a buffalo into the wrong area. You will see over the series of videos how the dominant males kill him slowly.
“In the end though, this unfortunate lion had 4 brothers close by who got revenge by killing one of the two dominant lions later that night and caused the remaining dominant lion to flee the area. It was a sad situation on both sides because two beautiful male lions were killed and as a result of the change in power, all the area cubs will be killed along with several females as the new 4 dominant males take over the territory.”

FK – This is not the cheesy touchy-feely world our native born freaks would have us believe.
Shooting the lion to put it out of its misery would probably be ‘illegal.’
Sometimes the hunted fights back:
FK – Amerikan ‘conservatives’ and ‘libertarians’ could learn something from this.
And from this one:

FK – Looks like the lions killed the Giraffe bambi…
Hunting these creatures is a dangerous proposition:
FK – And sometimes maybe the lions are just hungry.
Unfortunately, Marty and the other Kenyan hunter-conservationists ultimately lost out to so-called animal “welfare” activists. In May 1977, anti-hunters succeeded in banning all “legal” hunting in Kenya. Without hunting, wildlife on Galana ceased being an asset. Hunting had provided a major source of revenue for sustainable, profitable, private conservation, but without hunting, there were no revenues and no hunters or guides in the field to police against poaching. Not surprisingly, poachers slaughtered more than 5,000 of the 6,000 elephants Marty and his partners had conserved. Perhaps more importantly, hunting provided native people with incomes and with meat, giving them incentive to be part of the conservation effort. With wildlife all but gone, the government proposed in 2013 to put 1.2 million acres of the original ranch under irrigation, a project that will not be sustainable.
FK – This article seems incomplete but makes good points. Our society has become so pathetic that it’s men lack the gumption to even kill what they eat.
Here’s the book mentioned in the article:
And the Africans seem to be doing more damage to their wildlife than the trophy hunters.
