Anti-gun greenies really make me mad!!!

Here's an example of the most mind-numbingly blatant tree-huggin', hippy, rope sandal-wearing, peace-love-and-mung-beans clap trap it has ever been my misfortune to read.

Arrgggghhhh!!!! As a (not wealthy enough) wanna be ego-driven, one man killing machine, big shot I really take exception to that particular article. And to think that its been published in association with the Lonely Planet series of travel guides it makes me even more annoyed. I am afraid I'll be boycotting the Lonely Planet guides on the basis (among others) that if they show that much bias on this issue, what else are they biased about?

I don't know sounds just like some of the crude I've read on THR lately.

Makes you wonder how he breathes with his head that far up his keaster. Where are the Big Game "parks" in the States?

Remember that an armed man will always beat an unarmed animal - not very sporting.
umm. . . yeah. Does that mean my 10/22 is good enough for DG hunting? :rolleyes:
they forgot to mention that some people like the taste of zebra.

btw, does big game hunting in Africa have any significant effect on animal populations? The way most African animals are portrayed by the media makes it seem like just about everything over there is endangered. But, hunting endangered animals isn't legal anywhere is it?

Nico,

It sure does..... If it wasn't for big game hunting in Africa there would be very few animals left at all. the revenue from hunting is then only reason millions of animals aren't killed off every year. They are to valuble a resource.

Without value assigned to these animals there would be none left. Period.

That's what I was thinking. The tens of thousands of dollars that people spend to go big game hunting in africa don't just disappear.

Wow. Just, wow. That is messed up. One can only hope he pulls a Treadwell.
