I hit a moose with a Pinto, for real, in Maine, 1975. You left out they also charge headlights. I found that out one morning around 3:30 AM

Never trust an animal that has a neck longer than 5 feet!

In the town of Phalaborwa near the northern edge of the Kruger Park the 16th or 17th hole of the local golf coarse has a big water hazard. When the hippos wander in from the park they run up the "Hippo Flag" and you have to skip the hole and play the 18th twice.

I own over 100 firearms, but here we have a picture of a dick-wad posing with a really dangerous dead giraffe, which I am going to assume he shot. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I'm sorry...
Maybe I'm not overly empathetic to animals who hit cars.
About a dozen years ago, while my wife was driving,
a deer jumped off an embankment that was higher than the road.
I didnt see it at all, my wife did.
She grabbed me and yanked me over on her side of the car, the deer came in the window !
It smashed the car up, and we got coated with its 'innards' and what was in its innards, but we didnt get hurt...

I am sure you are not making the assumption that is me?

I can't figure out anyone who feels the need to go to Africa to put holes in giraffes, ostriches, klipspringers, zebras etc., what about some REAL game like a Cape buffalo?

Remember when MG's were little tiny 2 seaters. Boy in my graduating class hit a Great Dane. Nearly totaled the car.

I agree with you. . You shouldn't kill anything you don't intend to eat or If it's a varmint that needs killing.

"There are more and more farmers converting from cattle ranching to safari operations and the pressure is on to provide an exciting experience."

Gotta hand it to them, they're really sticking their necks out.

I'm surprised a lioness was chasing three giraffes, including one at 500 kg. That's kind of big and a giraffe kick could be the end of a lion.
