African spear hunting


Recommended Posts

I was just trying to find a video of an alaunt hunting and found this instead. It might have been put up before. Oh and for the mods :laugh: , 18+ the video shows people killing elephants and hippos with spears so you can guess it takes a while.

 

 

It's not really hunting as you will see, but it's interesting I suppose. Pretty innefficient and very cruel but it's just survival so that's why I wouldn't call it hunting.

 

There's a link to the documentary the clips are from, if anyone watches it let me know if it's worth a look :thumbs:

they just need a few good lurchers and they would have all the food they wanted, rather sick at the end the way they just all stab the hippo when they could of just put one it its head job done! that last bit makes me think there not doing it for food as the meat would be a mess!!

It isn't even a very old video, doesn't look like Africans have ever really advanced the way the rest of the world has. It just seems like they had one idea on how to hunt and stuck with it, never coming up with a new idea or copying more advanced culture, no matter how bloody inefficient it is. I mean, even if you live in an AID's ridden desert how hard would it be to make a bow and arrow? or since it's 2011 and they aren't isolated why not learn from the rest of the civilised world. I am not condemning them for surviving, but it does perplex me why they have remained so primitive.
