The fee he paid to shoot it will do more for conservation than any of the blowhards who complain about it.

Sorry but the only way to preserve wildlife is to monitise it

Its hell unpleasant but Gordon probably got it right.

I am thinking,, hoping it was an old one that was knackered and needed shooting.

The taking of photographs is the real bent and twisted part,,, even if it was a humane necessary cull.

It's a funny thing, the people who shoot them are arseholes but we should be glad they're doing it.

Remember the guy who paid about $350k US to shoot a Rhino a year or two ago, that old rhino was past breeding age and had killed a Rhino calf anda breeding age female.

Gordon is right and Mike is right as well they usually select which ones these wealthy people will shoot.

It's dangerous work for the guides with some species, this wasn't in the brochure on big cat hunting.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Aren't they superb Hunters?
Or do Abo's only set fire to vast tracks of land to 'kill-off' the food?
Do white Aussies only succeed cheaply when they're drunk and on utes?

I think you'll find it's more to do with our laws than hunters being lazy. I've shot pig in the NT and I was on foot. I've been out pig-sticking with just dogs and a big long Aussie bayonet in Qld. That was last century though, we have too much anti-hunting emotionals in Au these days to let it happen without jumping through hoops like a trained poodle.

Ah.

“Sabrina Corgatelli – hunter whore” from Idaho.

She's "special", that one.

I love what Ricky Gervais said about her:

"What's really sad nowadays is that these big game trophy hunters see fame as an added bonus to their perversion. Just like serial killers."

Reply #28 - Mar 17^th, 2018 at 10:47am The money spent by these wealthy foreign hunters helps to fund wildlife preservation programs outside of the more popular national parks. Without them, a lot of these animals would get killed by locals for food and to make way for farming.
