But my question is this, don't you think that people should eat what they kill?

So what if they are carnivors?

Nope. I hunt for the bloodlust.

I used to. But not anymore. The truth is that trophy hunting is an effective way to keep animal populations health an growing. Many times the biggest Male game animals, the ones that control the herds. Are not as affective in breeding. They may be the biggest and baddest, but the are beyond their peak performance, so to speak. By removing a" trophy animal," herds break up into smaller units, that are led by animals a the the peak of their performance. Sometimes a trophy animal is edible many times they are stinky old things. As for eating carnivores, why?

By the way, Using Trophy hunting, as a management technique, many countries in Africa have had explosions in their Rhino populations. In these counties, it has also eliminated poaching as a lifestyle.

You again have a good point. Perhaps if we could ship all the wolves to Korea, we could solve our problems. They like to eat dogs and since I use to eat on the economy due to my job over there, I am sure I have munched a mutt or chowed down on perhaps a chow or two.

Great idea.

PS: Do you think John Kerry ate the VC with the RPG he chased to the hootch?
