Not a fan of trophy hunters but it's not illegal. It sucks though.
"Not a fan" is putting it mildly for me! I cannot understand how this is "legal".
"Cecil was found beheaded and skinned near Hwange National Park in 2015 and authorities said Walter Palmer, a dentist from Minneapolis, paid a $55,000 (£35,000) bribe to wildlife guides to allow him to shoot the lion with a crossbow.
He was forced to abandon his dental practice for weeks amid the outcry over the killing."
Poor guy,
forced to abandon his dental practice for weeks... Compare that to a Lion forced to abandon his cubs, and his life FOREVER..so his head can be hung on some douchebag's wall. AND... If it's so "Legal" why the need for the $55,000
bribe?
I hate hunters. Not just "Big Game hunters" either! (Seriously, does it matter what SIZE the animal is that you murder, if it's FUN for you?)
I don't care if you eat what you kill, or you feed your tribe with it... If you LOVE it, and think of it as a "Sport". You suck. (In My Opinion!).
In all the many, many debates on the subject I have had with hunters, No one has ever adequately explained why they LOVE to KILL. They say how it thins the herd, they eat the meat, and all the many justifications there are... But when asked why they LOVE
to hunt and kill....in and of itself... they have nothing to say... Imo there is something terribly wrong with people who enjoy murder.
** for those who might be tempted to point out that anyone who eats meat, is culpable to the inhumane slaughter industry. Spare me that lame comparison. People who shop for food, are in no way comparable, to those
love to stalk and kill
