Gloating over a ‘kill’ is about the same mind-set as an Islamist parading with a severed head.

She's gloating over an accomplishment. Most men couldn't begin to pull an 80-lb bow much less shoot it accurately, much less walk into a herd of elephants and kill one of them with it and live to tell the tale.

What have YOU accomplished recently which is comparable?

Yes, it’s very important for all involved that she slink away, crestfallen and ashamed.

Actually, a more realistic reaction would be, “holy crap, I can’t believe I didn’t get stomped on”

You are sick in the head. And due to hunters' money, there are too many elephant now. So many the habitat is being destroy. But that probably is of no concern to someone who likes to get hysterical about his lack of knowledge on a subject. And the gloating remark is snide.

Some people where their ignorance like a badge of honor. You don't know anything about hunting. No, you really don't. So...Shhhhhhh. You sound stupid.

[Fawn]

AMEN TO THAT.

I guess I'm as sick as an islamist then.

Let's run down the probable facts of this hunt, shall we?

1. Elephants are not endangered. In fact many Africans consider them pests. How much would you enjoy having a herd of 2 ton rabbits in your garden?

2. This hunt most likely cost this young lady well over $20,000 considering guide fees, permits, travel, etc.

3. I've killed more than one animal in my life and with the exception of putting down beloved family pets I've 'gloated' over every one of them. I've even had my picture taken with the corpses. Pretty sick, huh?

4. I'm not even sure I could draw, much less fire accurately an 80 lb. bow.

5. During most of these hunts, the meat is distributed to local villagers, adding a large amount of vital protein to their diets. Yes, people do eat elephants.

6. The money this young lady spent injected thousands of dollars into the local economy. How dare she do something which actually helps Africans. Why the temerity of it. Maybe she should have just attended a Bob Geldoff/Sting concert and called it a day...

7. Culling the herds actually insures a healthy population as well as securing vital agricultural crops for the indigenous population.

8. Don't stop by my house. You'll no doubt be shocked at the severed heads hanging on my wall. "Allah akbar" indeed...

9. This young lady undoubtedly had to spend days in the bush until she found an animal that met the very strict requirements laid out by every single African country for a lawful kill. If one makes on single mistake during one of these safaris, the fines are incredibly steep and jail time is a very real possibility. I doubt she fancied spending time in an African prison.

That's about all I can come up with off the top of my head. Give me some time and I'll come up with a few more reasons why this young lady should be congratulated rather than condemned.

What is it when you have sex with the severed head?

I need a term I can tell my psychologist.
