“I think anyone who would pay $55,000 to kill a single animal is a psychopath.”
I agree on this one. We hunt (bear, racoon, rabbit, deer, elk, mountain lion, pronghorn sheep) and fish for our own use and to sell the fur (raccoon, rabbit) but I’ll never understand killing endangered animals and big game in Africa, etc. We also raise a steer each year for meat, and will be raising hogs and I’ll have chickens again in the near future for eggs and roasting.
To me, THOSE jungle/desert animals are works of ART and should be left alone.
But, I guess to someone that has a pet rabbit, I’M the barbarian, LOL!
I dunno. It’s all in your perspective, I guess.
Money is relative. At what dollar figure does this guy pass your psychopath threshold?
Without (costly) controlled hunting in Africa the poachers would wipe everything out. People paying huge amounts to hunt game is what funds the conservation efforts.
I don’t know if this guy knew anything about this particular lion, perhaps he did, but I doubt it. Could be he’s a victim of an unscrupulous PH, guide, and land owner.
