    @Krameranzac veganism core principles aren't about what's right for you, like vegetarianism, its about avoiding the exploitation of animals. When people are avoiding leather or wool to wear synthetics which pollute this planet in it's manufacture then there is no arguing with people like that. They can't see the forest for the trees

    This is somewhat related to the topic, so bare with me....

    I decided to post a piece to Stuff.co.nz earlier this week in the hope of shedding a little light on the Cecil situation, touching on some relevant facts which weren't being widely reported at the time - Cecil the lion's death not 'black and white' | Stuff.co.nz

    Of the 125 comments, 3/4 of them are absolutely ludicrous, taking quotes out of context and drawing illogical conclusions. It's been quite disheartening to discover the level of stupidity that is rife here in our 'enlightened' country.

    In terms of explaining hunting to Vegetarians and animal lovers, in case it's of any help, the guys at NZ Hunter Adventures posted a nice clip about their motivations for hunting, along the same lines as the amazing Donnie Vincent piece. We've also recently posted a clip which may go some way in helping you demonstrate to a non hunter why you choose to hunt -

    Stupid walks amongst us and is thriving unfortunately

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    You'll find that with comments on any news website (or public FB pages), on any topic at all! There really is a scary amount of stupid out there.
