agreed, she is a jerk, as are all other big game trophy hunters. Kill to eat (deer, elk), ok. Kill a wild animal to show off (bear, elephant, big cats) sucks.
You’re wrong. There’s no reason to kill to eat. There’s plenty of food that’s cheaper and easier to get. The only reason to hunt is for the man’s triumph over nature aspect. The meat is a bonus. Killing a lion is awesome (so I guess, I’ve only killed a dear, and that was with my minivan). She should be pleased with herself. All these PETA wimps wringing their hands about it reveals what Gaia worshipers we’ve become.
The meat is used.
They would do the same for you. Silly human, you are just meat to them.
Keeping predator populations under control is essential to the security of small communities and their livestock. People who live where there are paved sidewalks don't understand that so well.
Aside from providing jobs (revenue) and meat to the local villages, some of the revenue from permits, etc., ultimately goes to protect not just predators, but all the wildlife in the region, where poachers from Zimbabwe (where Obama would like to take us, economically) have been raiding the local wildlife.
“agreed, she is a jerk, as are all other big game trophy hunters. Kill to eat (deer, elk), ok. Kill a wild animal to show off (bear, elephant, big cats) sucks.”
All the meat is eaten (in Africa) in either case. It makes no difference to the animal. Of course, if you let the poor African kill the Lion for the meat, no money goes to maintain the reserve, and there are no more lions.
Is that what you want?
Why are you here?
Is FREEDOM to live free a problem for you?
Is the U.S. Bill of Rights a problem for you?
FWIW-
Bear and cougar are eaten.
