Thread: Defending hunters

Nah his condemnation isn't justified on the basis of what we know that he did, nor is it ever justified to participate in trial by media ever.... leave that to the emotionally underdeveloped...

To scapegoat this guy, just to avoid association might be convenient ... but it just makes us exactly the same as the other people doing the same thing.

Personally I have no interest in any form of canned/guided hunting, nor predator hunting nor giraffe/elephant/rhino. But I'm not ignorant enough to insist that my personal values should apply across the board, unlike the numbies on the other side of this issue..

Trophy hunting might be harder to rationalise to the civilised uninformed, but it makes the most sense for african wildlife management. There is no place for meat hunting as a foreign exchange earner for those economies.

The dumb money in this debate is too dumb to understand the issues.
