If you research it at bit further, you will find that a lot of trophy animals are shot, not primarily for trophy but because they are going to get culled anyway, as the population needs to decrease and as a result the licence is sold off to hunters.

 

Not on those Safari's in Africa.

I know a great deal about it. Have an uncle who is a big game hunter who wants to bag the lot.

 

sorry, a lot of sports hunting is not to cull, but for the pleasure of the individual.

 

a cull, should be undertaken for the good of the species as a whole, by people trained to do it.

 

You are blending the terms "sport" and "cull" together. A sports hunter can partake in a cull, but they will be doing it for their own reasons...as an adrenalin rush.

Buttercup: You mock my pain! Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Is that so ?

No thrill in killing.

Why do I spend Xmas and new year delivering fresh meat and other animals to Aboriginal communities so they are still able to eat "traditional tucker" ?

Why should I eat processed carp from McD or China and get poisoned.

Do we stop killing cows, sheep ?

I had to live a lot of my life with a huge deers head on the wall of the lounge.

 

I was sick once and screaming the deer was winking at me.

 

I dont know how people can live with dead animal heads in their house.

 

What awful atmosphere, for a child to live with. Dead things

Wrong, again.
I know lots of people who go to Africa on Safari and shoot and some are cull animals,
Including elephant.

All eat is used.

Again, you are confusing killing for meat or a practical purpose, with killing purely for sport.

 

they are different things.

 

I have covered what I term a sports hunter. And they do get a thrill. That is what they pay for, if on a holiday to shoot. The excitement and the trophy.

Better not come to my house then.

You'll get "winked at" quite often LOL




Always the excuse Vic, you seem to think your opinion is the way all people should think sorry, BUT I do have my own.

 

Thats life pal.

What about we cull those who want to cull others ?

You don't know ALL the people from all over the world, who go to Africa, trophy hunting.  Therefore you can't give an accurate assessment.
