Never understood the trophy hunter mentality. Good riddance.
Me neither. I default to assuming they were kids who were cruel to animals.
You seem to have a handle on sociopathy, though.
So it's OK in your mind to murder someone just because they're engaging in a completely legal activity that you don't like?
You're a real piece of work. At least you're a piece of something.
I hope there is a very special place in Hell for trophy hunters - if you don’t eat it, don’t kill it.
I’m curious. Do you support the murder of anyone else you don’t understand, or disagree with?
The legal hunts for engrandered animals are supposed to be done to remove problematic individuals so the remainder of the herd can grow larger. I.e. Dominant old bulls that are no longer fertile but kill any younger males that attempt to reproduce. By leaving them alive, you are actually destroying the herd.
Of course Africa being corrupt as it is, I’m sure this is far from always the case...
but if you eat meat or wear leather then you are using animals....
trophy hunting is a big lucrative business and it fuel many paychecks over there....
No, I don’t understand the attraction or motivation of the trophy hunter.
I do understand the need to thin the herd for population control and selective breeding. I just don’t understand the mentality of wanting to kill an animal for sport.
Takes all kinds I suppose but some just don’t jibe with me. I also don’t feel the need for big tires on my truck, loud exhausts and so forth.

That is because you are uneducated and lead by emotions. But your feminine thinking misses something big. The health and genetic diversity of the herd is vastly improved by trophy hunting.
Tom Brady, David Beckham, and Kobe Bryant live there and go to the bars every night. The breed women copiously and get into fights they always win to deny any other male in the area a chance of breeding. So far so good...
Now a few years later, their offspring start meeting and breeding. Soon sibling and half sibling breeding is everywhere and you start seeing it in the deer herd. Weird antler arrangements, smaller body sizes, lower fecundity, etc.
So back to the small town. Someone comes and shoots the trophy males. Kobe, Beckham, and Brady rest above someone’s mantlepiece.
Other males start taking chicks home, breeding them, and soon the accidental incest ends. City health and IQ improves, and soon, the high school fields a whole team of healthy strapping males and healthy young chicks.
The effect is well studied and documented by Texas wildlife biologists. Trophy hunting is well understood in Texas. But it upsets the feminine mentality.
There’s this thing called CITES, if they were endangered they wouldn’t be hunted. It’s all very controlled and scientific but that means nothing to ignorant and emotional anti-hunting zealots. The reason Kenya lost 75% of its wildlife is because they banned sport hunting. Partly due to the influence of anti-hunting idiots and partly because it was interfering with the poaching being run by some of the ruling families.
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?
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..
Never understood the trophy hunter mentality. Good riddance.
DITTO!!! (I sure miss Rush).....;(
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
It's good to know you have nothing against hunting per se. It may be what keeps you alive in the near future.
F you!
That is because your ignorant. Not your fault, you were indoctrinated with eco crazy propaganda. Big game trophy hunters have done more to protect and expand populations of endangered species that all the NGOs and eco-weenies combined. Please don’t believe me, there is so much data available on this it is ridiculous. Just approach with an open mind and objectively look at the facts and especially the results.
Park managers have to cull certain animals anyway, to maintain the health of all the animals inside the park, as well as when some animals become such habitual offenders harming locals’ fields or livestock that people begin killing any and all they see, anywhere they see the animals, as “prevention.” Park managers can do the culling alone with no added benefits, or they can do it through managed hunting permits, which secure more revenue for the park and wildlife within. One is not more humane or inhumane than another, but clearly one is more beneficial.
