WHat about poachers who are destroying engangered animals world-wide?

Do you support them?

They use the horns of elephants, for example to make some silly hocus pokus aphosidisiacs...that's cool...right?


Nope, don't support doing anything illegal, like poaching.

In Arizona you can go kill mountain lions, coyotes and even gophers.......yet nobody eats them. I guess it's for fun.

In many countries in Africa all you need to do is pay enough money to the gaming authorities and you can get a license to shoot pretty much whatever you like.

Had a client pass around pictures of his , and his son's "kills" on one such African excursion around the table after dinner once.  I looked at the first two, I think, and then just passed them on.

He justified all of it because tribes from hundreds of miles around carried away the carcasses and it fed them all for months, probably.  These same tribes however would not have starved without the hunt.  To them it was a treat.

Fact is, he did it for the sheer joy of killing those beautiful creatures.

When the bottom fell out of the market his business was in and he had to sell the house in Beverly Hills and his 100 foot yacht I smiled at my inner buddha.

I highly doubt that. The joy for him was probably the adventure, the hunt and his trophies.

Heya Curv,

Actually the poachers take the tusks of the elephant for ivory. That ivory is used to make decorative items. Fortunately there is a man made substitute that has cut down on the poaching a bit. It hasn't eradicated it as there isn't much of a way for these twits to make a living but it's still a waste.

As far as the gopher situation is concerned. They are pests, varmints, whatever you want to call them. They need to be thinned as they harm agriculture. If the ones who do the thinning have a good time while helping solve a problem is that necessarily a bad thing? I've hunted coyotes on my Uncle's ranch as he was losing calves and chickens. One enterprising coyote ran within 5 feet past my Uncle and snatched a chicken as he opened the night security chicken coop. That REALLY pissed him off!

The rabbit population was down as a part of their 7 year cycle and the coyotes were destroying my Uncles chance to make a living. Nope I didn't eat them (unlike the deer I harvested) but my Uncle got the chance to keep his family ranch. Yes again I had a good time doing it and enjoyed the misses (majority) as well as the hits. Am I then a "bad person"?

Curval, your posts are so retarded sometimes.  Trying to equate varmint hunting with poaching endangered species or torturing pets.  Your gun posts are amazing too but this takes the cake.  You're lucky you wear those cute pink shorts or I'd disown you. Love, Funkypants

The varmints live to dig another day. Completely overcast here. We waited a bit to see if it would blow over... but just now decided to call it.

I think what you're hung up on is that some people (myself included) enjoy the challenge of killing em.  More fun than a can or paper target.

If they were edible I would either eat em or not hunt em and let people who ate em hunt em.   If they were allmost extinct or of any value I wouldn't kill em,

They are vermin tho and it is win win... I like shooting em and everyone (including dude)benifiets from me doing so.

You are just really really wrong on this one dude.   you have no point whatsoever unless it is that my aura will be damaged or something.

lazs


Ya, I got it lazs..  Some folk really have it out for those lil'demons...  In some places the desire could be warrented..

But do I think I'm foolish or a hypocrite for my beliefs in killing for fun as you posted in this thread? no..

relax man and try to be less hypocritical.  I am sure that some slaughter house employees enjoy their job or exterminators... you enjoy the fruits of their labor.   Be glad someone does the dirty work so that you can enjoy the benifiet...  

If you want to dig into it any deeper than that then i would suggest that you examine your own part in all the killing first and make some sort of commitment other than criticizing the people that are doing the work.  

Your premise is... it's allright to get the job done unless you find some fun in it...  A lot f bosses I have had in the past felt as you do.

As you wrote it.. That premise belongs to you.. Has nothing to do with me..  And I have not criticized anyone for doing 'their work'...  Please lazs.. stop writing false bs about me..  This is how we got here in the first place..

So you have no problem with anyone enjoying killing so long as it is useful to you?
