Too bad that big boy can no longer pass down those magnificent genes.
And if you start off calling me names, you lose.
Most Game Ranches know enough to not kill their prize stud!
And if you think the big money laid out for this hunt went to build a fence or help the poor, I have a healthcare website you can buy cheap health insurance.
thanks!!! and i dont hunt
So who made you an expert at gauging prized lion flesh for stud services? It may be that particular lion was the dumbest male of the pride? He certainly wasn’t the one that got away.
Sorry, but your argument is all wet, conservation has saved many species of wildlife. It has paid for a lot of habitat that would have otherwise been turned into a parking lot.
At his size and age, I'm sure he's passed on plenty of his DNA.
Now, I'm more concerned about Ms. Bachman passing on her DNA.
Yea the money went to build a fence. To keep poachers out not necessarily the animals in. A border fence. And there are plenty of lions. So I’m sure they will breed just fine. As far as the “poor”, you would probably ask all the villagers who work as guides and trackers. Work in the hunting camps. Ask the villagers who are provided food from these hunts, and on and on.
And maybe I missed something but what “names” did I call you?
Also, these animals are not on a “ranch”. I know it’s fashionable to disparage Big Game hunting as “canned” if that’s what you are implying. It’s not. These animals are free range. Do you know what the “Big Four” are? Lions, Elephant, Leopard and Cape Buffalo. Know what they have in common. They will Kill You! And eat you if they get the chance. All except the Buffalo. They’ll just stomp you into little tiny pieces. So, yea, that’s part of the thrill, stalking an animal that if something goes wrong you are dead.
Also, kill it to preserve it is standard Conservation practice, not just in Africa. Really.
