Personally i don’t think we should be killing things like Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my), unless we have to kill them in order to protect people from getting eaten by some of them.

As Top level predators ourselves consider I think we should consider it a “professional courtesy”.

We also shouldn’t kill some animals that exhibit human like traits in intelligence like great apes, elephants, whales, etc... And certain animals we have domesticated like kitty cats and puppy dogs either

That being said I I am not gonna lose any sleep over a safari hunter like the jerk dentist (luring the animal out of the reserve was a “jerkass homer” move) , I just think he is a jerk.

No law against being a jerk.

And there should never be, ever a law against being a jerk.

What if I throw your troll ass into a lion’s cage? Would you bet your life that the lion will give you “professional courtesy”?

If they no longer allow the hunting of big game like lions and big cats, they will become extinct even faster. The big game are worth a great deal of money and are protected in order to be hunted. The governments have a vested interest to protect them. So do the local populous. When that incentive is removed, the animals become a nuisance and are quickly killed by the locals.

It is simply a fact that hunters are particularly interested in the propagation of large game so that their will be sufficient numbers to continue to hunt.

I’m with you, except the jerk dentist did also break the law—and he should pay for it.

So by your logic, critters like boars(swine) shouldn't be killed because they are smart?

So no pork but it's o.k. to shoot horses because they as every farm raised girl knows, are some of the dumbest animals on a farm.

(You did say you were raised on a farm, right?)

Or rather we shouldn't shoot and eat the "cute " animals and the ones we humans give names?
