Whack ‘em and stack ‘em!

A renewable resource? Killing one of God’s creatures just for the fun of it? That is totally disgusting and evil. Man’s inhumanity.

Didn’t know that US fish and wildlife ruled supreme over the rest of the world when it comes to hunting big game.

They don't. It only applies to importing trophies into America. Didn't you read the article?

Are you one of those people who follow licensed legal hunters into the woods on opening day shouting "Murderer!"?

“I don’t need to kill an animal for “sport”.”

Nor I.

But freedom doesn’t require you to shoot a gun, nor others to not shot a gun.

It is sad that those animals have to depend on those nations for their protection!

Do some reading. Many men bawl like babies after they've shot an elephant. It's not just for the 'fun of it'. My guess is you've never hunted or shot anything. Every hunter I know thanks the animal and God afterwards. It's not a 'fun' feeling.

[fortheDeclaration]

Nor do I!

Did you know the meat goes to local villages? It is no different than deer hunting and donating the meat to a food pantry.

[Beagle8U]

Every scrap of legally killed elephant will be eaten, nothing goes to waste.

According to 96 Elephants (which gets its name from the approximately 96 elephants that are poached every day), there were roughly 1.2 million African elephants in 1980. After the illegal ivory trade “heyday” during the 1980s, the population declined to nearly 420,000 in 2012.

Look at the picture you posted. An innocent creature being killed for fun. It is evil. I am sure God judges it as evil.

No. That’s pretty insulting. I value life. Life in the womb and the life of God’s creatures.

[Aria]

you know what’s wrong with that!

[M Kehoe]

Do not try and explain harvesting game and proper wildlife conservation to a liberal. It’s like casting pearls before swine.

5.56mm

READY IN: 1608hrs SERVES: 3500
UNITS: US
Ingredients

1 medium elephant
2 (50 gallon) containers broth
500 lbs assorted fresh vegetables, chopped
2 rabbits (optional)

Directions

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces.
This takes about 2 months.
Using large kettles, simmer equal parts elephant and vegetables with enough broth to cover.
Cook for a couple days.
If more are expected add the rabbits, but do this only if necessary.
Most people don’t like to find hare in their stew.

[factoryrat]

Yes, I did.

The gist is that you can’t bring trophies of big game into the US, and the USFW is enforcing that.

Therefore, USFW is regulating big game hunting outside of US borders by proxy.

What? did you think that these hunters are going hunting in Africa to fill their freezers full of lion, elephant, or zebra meat?

[Cementjungle]

I agree with you 100 per cent. Shooting elephants, leopards, etc is not something I find entertaining

I don't either, but I've been to Africa enough times to understand the benefits of proper herd management. A US importation ban doesn't dictate hunting laws in other countries. All the ban does is encourage hunters to prefer going with unscrupulous poachers than with legit conservation groups.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

No. That’s pretty insulting. I value life. Life in the womb and the life of God’s creatures.

Yet you sit here in judgment of people who legally bought licenses, spent fortunes traveling to the hunt then donated the meat from their kill to the local villagers in one of the poorest nations on earth.

[TexasGunLover]

What is happening to elephants is outrageous and cruel. Killing them for souvenirs is just wrong.

People can make that judgement for themselves. It's fine by me.

[TexasGunLover]

Look at the picture you posted. An innocent creature being killed for fun. It is evil. I am sure God judges it as evil.

Wow! You speak for God? I am certain that He judges your opinion as evil.
