Buch 145 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 You cant on one hand hunt and then on the other condem another mans sport without knowing all the facts. You also cant condem another mans sport because you see a video (which i havnt seen) showing that mans sport in a bad light, should football be banned because footy hooligans do there best to kick the shit out of each other everyweek because of it? That is the reasons were in such a poor situation in this country. We live in an envirotent were wild animals need to be controled wether there top tier hunter (fox/badger in the uk, Lion ect in africa) or down to the local herd of herbivre. Aslong as its done in a humane manner whats the problem. I bet the Lion's lived a better life that the chicken you ate last week that live for 3 months in a battrey layng an egg every day until it was "spent" then sent in an open aired lorry to be electrocuted. Its all about lesser of the 2 evils, i worked on an intensive pig farm for 2 years and i loved it the pigs were fine ect ect but if you was to ask me if they had a more fulfillig life than a "wild" liion in africa then i would probabl have to say no. Thats just the way it is. Africa is an icredably poor place, the wildlife ranges have runnig gun battles with poachers and if the money one "yank" pays for a lion keeps half a village fed for a year (and it realy is that much) then its a case of the lesser of to evils. To long and you didnt read the whole thing? We hunt for one reason, we enjoy it. We hunt for sport. If youve convinced yourself you hunt soley for pest control then your a good liar cause youve even convinced yourself. As long as you hunt responsably and humanely then were is the problem?

Scothunter- I'm strugling to see how you you think that the vid is unhumane and the people are unresponsable? There is a guide telling the shooter when to take the shot, and he actually stops him before he shoots till he gets the best shot. The shooter takes the first shot of a stick- not thinking he is John Wayne and shooting free hand. The only change in the scenario is a bad shot placement which all of us have done at 1 point or another and instead of running away like the animals over here the lion charged them, now can you explain what they wer ment to do in that situation? As for the high fiving and pats on the back i would say that it was more because they were alive and hadn't just been ripped to death by a pissed of lion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richie10 345 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Shotgun hunter, At least your countrymen can stand shoulder to shoulder on hunting. Over here it is all about 'my sport is more humane that your sport'. All about getting it over on someone else. The Lion wasn't in a 'Canned Hunt' it was being removed. Why not get some money out of it? I would. Hunting is a sport and I enjoy it, if I was doing it to control species it would seem like work, which I go to the office to do not in my free time. Not many people have been in a dangerous situation like that but still tell everyone how they would have acted. That is called Immaturity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said earlier - I have been charged by a +400lb Black Bear not a fun experience - time seems to take the edge from some events but not the bear charge it rates right up there with being shot..... I go on many site's - the interenet is cool that way - world wide information - this site is the only one that has the get over the other hunter and anti gun discussions - It sometimes make's good debate and other time's it "nanner nanner boo boo's down the path to a piss'n contest" ! I am sure it would be easy to post many questionable pictures or videos that would portray hunting activities in a less than admirable light and then subjectively comment on them.... Sounds suspiciously like anti hunting propaganda to me ....For some of us it's difficult to take the high road! Shoulder to shoulder - Not all the time in the USA but we seem to get it right when it counts.... :gunsmilie: :gunsmilie: :gunsmilie: :gunsmilie: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
