YOU may not like trophy hunters, but why join an hysterical public campaign to stamp them out?

Killing for the sake of killing is pathetic. Go out with a friggin' camera and get some awesome shots you can put on your wall.

Sorry, I have no respect for anyone who slaughters an animal just for the rush.

It’s not what I want to do with my vacation time but as long as it’s done legally I have no problem with it. This shoot was illegal but it sounds like more than half the law-breaking was done by the local guide.

Both the hunting preserve and safari protected area are managed like zoos...both areas attracting large dollars for a poor nation. This activity actually helps to preserve the species and improve the economy of the region. A failing economy would mean the end of all these creatures that Americans seem to worship as the locals would be unable to protect and manage the areas and the poor would kill everything.

Also, large mammal natural selection in most parts of Africa has been extinct for sometime now. We determine the correct numbers of predator and pray and where they should live.

How about a rush and a lionskin rug.
