Nothing like the O' Club to make a person lose respect for his peers. You really saved face with that snappy comeback, wulfie. And your's was pretty good too, Pooh, especially on such short notice.

It looks like the lion was fenced in, so it might've been some hunting club or some crap like that. Still doesn't make it any better.

Like someone above said, if the lion attacked a human it was probably out of self defense. You can't ask the animal not to defend its turf. That would be like asking you not to defend your house. If the lion came near your house, fine ... you'd be defending your ground. If you gonna eat that lion after you killed it, fine. I have 0 respect for the people on the tape regardless of the legality of what they've done, unless that was dinner.

Would it be different if it was a moose?

Wulf, their aim wasn't the question here.

If they were shooting at a moose, would it matter?

If they're hunting for food, no. If they're hunting for sport, yes.

Not as far as I'm concerned. I have no problem with killing an animal for food or out of self defense. I hate people who hunt just for sport. Doesn't matter what the animal is.

Wow, no one listens do they? Or read for that matter.

For you to hunt a single lion in the first place, it would have to be a **MANKILLER**, otherwise you wait until you get the call that there's another one around.

Sure you pay the trophy fees, but unless that lion kills a man, it's untouchable.

Stoned Gecko · « **Reply #55 on:** February 21, 2004, 05:59:46 PM »

And where did the lion kill a man? Was it while that man was roaming around in the wildreness? You go there you're fair game to become part of the food chain.

laser...you are making a big assumption that this hunt was legal. It may be...but we don't know that.

As for big cats that are man hunters....good for them. they're just following their natural instinct. IF it's in a game park reserve and you get eaten, then that's just tough.

Lasersailor, hunting safaris in Africa are booked in advance. You choose what animals you want to hunt, pay the fees, thn your professional hunter helps you track/bait the lion you want to kill.

If only man eaters were allowed to be killed, the safari companies would not be able to sell the licences for lions in advane: how are they to know when a man eaters becomes available for shooting?

This for example from a company offering hunting safaris in Tanzania:

Judging by your avatar, your cat obviously can......

Ok,I'll buy when the lion was charging...but what about when that clown took the first shot?You know,when the lion was perfectly still?

Watch the video after the lion charges.The guy that gets knocked down was lucky that clown in the background didn't hit HIM.

I'm not anti-hunting by any means,but something about that video(which I haven't nailed down) disgusts me.Maybe it's the part where that guy high fives the other guy,like they kicked ass,when the reality is one of them is very lucky to be alive.

STOP F*KING SHOOTING ME prettythangHOLE!
