  • Hunting undersiege

    First there was this dentist killing this lion:



    Then there's this huntress showing she is not backing down despite social media backlash.:

    Far from cowering, Idaho hunter Sabrina Corgatelli has been flaunting her kills, posting verses from the Bible apparently to justify her love of hunting.


    Big game hunting has been around for a while, I wonder why they are making headline news recently.

    Because we are running out of big game?

    Why does anyone need to kill a Lion other than bragging rights?

      I view big game trophy hunting as a very selfish endeavour.

      You pay and kill a lion, rhino, elephant or other threatened species and nobody else will ever have the ability to see that specific animal in the wild. And its DNA is removed from the gene pool.

      If instead you go as an 'eco tourist' not only do you get to see it but, many others will have that opportunity.

      Strictly speaking the long term economic impact of eco tourism is therefore far greater than a one off hunt.

        They don't "kill" them, they "take" them. They are "beautiful" and it is "exciting to take such a beautiful animal".

        When they kill these animals they deprive others from the opportunity to see them. It's deemed selfish. Then of course there's the animal's right to live, which I get, but I'm eating a ham sandwich right now and haven't quite resolved that one.

        I had to kill a rabbit that was hit by a car and was lying with a broken back on my front lawn. It bothered me for weeks. When I told others, they said that they couldn't have done it. I don't understand the mentality required to kill for fun and I'd think that most of the populous is of the same mind.

          I find it comical how they all feel the need to justify themselves with obvious lies and irrelevancies.

          The truth is it gives them a thrill, is legal, and allows them to brag to their like minded friends. IMO that is it!!!

            I don't even know how I would do that. Drown it?

              I understand deer or moose if it's a population control issue.

              I'm pretty sure there aren't an over abundance of giraffes out there.

              You want to hunt big game?, here is your spear and maybe a club, good luck.

                I don't understand the bragging rights of big game hunting. Now if someone goes toe to toe with a lion bare hands, I'll be impressed.

                  most hunters will tell you they have no time for trophy hunters that take the head and leave the rest to rot.

                    Would it not satisfy them to just drive a more expensive penis?

                      They call that Elephantiasis, and they drive a wheelbarrel.

                        Baseball bat. Couldn't just leave it there to suffer. Other than some fish I've caught, I've never had to kill anything, guess that's why it bothered me. We're just not used to it in our society.

                            I don't get it either. A high percentage of "big game" hunters are from the States. It must be that gun mentality.

                            A lot of us have played and loved Eagle Eye in East Lansing, Michigan and the owner is a hunter. He has a lot of his trophies in the basement of that huge clubhouse. I can't remember what he had downstairs, but it was mostly North American game. Moose, elk, deer, black bear, etc.

                              yes.

                              noting impressive about hiding behind a tree and shooting a unsuspecting animal.
