    BTW-anyone see they latest shit on Cecil-some wanky journo quoting an anonymous source(not allowed to speak to journos but conveniently forgot or is $10.00 too much)says the bastards brother got bowled too.bugger me - in the next breath some rather big conservation official in charge where the bro is supposed to live says "dead -is he..news to me,..was very much alive and breathing when I saw him" ,obviously very recently!zimbabwe though -corrupt as fuck so who knows what the truth is.
    those PETA c...nts wanted to hunt the yank down and exterminate him-arseholes showing their real colours eh.
    sheila at work is always putting that SAFE shit up.
    "Specific Animals For Eating propaganda again eh what"earned me an earful,not that i give a flying fuck!

    If you post photos of your game then also post photos of it on the plate or just out of the oven. Stops the "oh what do you do with them" brigade and also shows that you hunt for food and not for killing or live target practice as some idiots believe. Be aware that you will never appease radical eco nazi vegans. A friend of mine who is a vegan is getting shit from ultra vegans because she rides horses, has a cat and wears wool. Apparently this is taboo to ultra radical vegans. If wearing wool is a burning at the stake offence then I guess you will never convince these people that hunting is OK.

    Reminds me of a Simpsons episode where they took the piss....
    Lisa had a crush on a guy who was a 4th level vegan who "wouldnt eat anything that could cast a shadow"

    @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 -

    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.

    I think it was Einstein that once said "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."

    Nice. Here's another couple of goodies I've found myself putting to use lately -

    * It's hard to win an argument with an intelligent person, it's impossible to win one with an idiot.

    * Arguing with a vegan about hunting is like playing chess with a Pigeon, it knocks over all the pieces and craps on the board, then struts around as if it's won the game

    Hunting is relaxing just like Yoga except I get to kill something.
