An avid hunter of endangered animals was shot dead in South Africa after his truck broke down, according to new reports.

Riaan Naude, the 55-year-old head of Pro Hunt Africa, was found dead next to his vehicle in Marken Road, Limpopo. Cops said they have no motive yet.

Two hunting rifles were found in Naude’s car near the Kruger National Park wildlife reserve, local outlet Maroela Media reported June 9.

And here you see a perfect example of the developing leftist hive mind - projection.

“I don’t understand what it is so it has to die.”

Are you SURE you don’t understand the mentality you claim to detest?

Tourists armed with telephoto lenses propaganda. The vast majority of money comes from big game hunters armed with rifles, not telephoto lenses.

I’m seeing eco-terrorism bandied about but I’m thinking it might have been a poacher.

Are you a vegetarian, or do you pay people to murder poor defenseless cows and pigs for you?

Never understood the trophy hunter mentality. Good riddance.

You sound like one of the leftist.. Is it okay to kill someone that Hunts for a living? I don’t equate animals are above humans.. If he wants to hunt so be it.. Do I want to kill people who slaughter cows, pigs, chickens? No I want to eat them..

(I also don’t feel the need for big tires on my truck, loud exhausts and so forth)

True but just remember to blast rap through damaged speakers so that others pumping $5 gas can be punished by it as well.

I mean, enjoy it as well.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I think you’ve misunderstood my post...

I’m well aware of where my food comes from, why and what animal husbandry (including hunting) is all about.

Why am I thinking “Far Side”?

Something along these lines but with a lion?

Hmmm. They actually keep poachers away while paying for it.

The trophy thing is a leftist language. Reality is they are true conservationists and in exchange they get to show it by nature giving it back in form of a gifted display

Old ones that were not likely to have any more offspring.

With the permission of the conservation authorities.

Be a shame if you did something totally ethical and legal and somebody blew your head off because they didn’t like it.

Poachers. Legal hunts by legitimate outfitters are the greatest threat to the poachers since the monies taken in by the expensive licenses go to funding the anti-poaching militias........

You do not have the slightest understanding of the positive dynamics of so called trophy hunting on the health, vigor, and size of the herd at large.

But get lead around by your emotional response if you please.

Prices for various hunting licenses.

https://businesstech.co.za/news/trending/94561/how-much-money-game-hunting-brings-into-south-africa/

$24,000 for a lion. $42,000 for an elephant. And that’s just for the license. Add in all the other money spent for the guide, porters, etc, and the hunter brings a LOT of money into the local economy.
