I hate people that hunt for sport. hunt for your food? thats fine.
I dunno man. I'll call the guy alot, but pussy aint one of them.
You have to admit, it takes balls to stand your ground while something the size of a Wolkswagen bus is charging you, hell bent on turning you into a door mat and not shooting until its literally at your feet.
He may be an assclown, but he sure isnt a pussy. That guy needs casters to wheel his testicles around.

dude, you're crazy... these animals are ENDANGERED! the only population control needed with these animals is controlled breeding and proliferation.
Ok. Post stats giving big game populations. Back up your statements.
I said quite clearly why hunting is allowed. I ALSO clarified that by stating I dont know the populations in Africa, not what the hunting laws are.
Apparently you do. Please provide them.
I could also tell you penguins are near extinct in Arizona except for those in zoos.. Well no kidding. So give us big game numbers proving your point. Elephants may very well be extinct in....say...South Africa. But maybe in Zimbabwe they have population problems. Who knows?
Apparently you do. Again, please provide the info as I'm curious.
More info here.
Thanks.
The mammals of the genus Loxodonta, often known collectively as African elephants, are found in several regions throughout the continent, after which they are named. In recent years, Loxodonta has received the attention of the world because of its dwindling numbers. Today there are approximately 600,000 African elephants in the world [4]. Some believe this represents a stable population and that measures to protect them are unnecessary. Others argue that while elephants are locally overabundant in certain areas, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the overall population has dropped by a staggering amount. As recently as 1979 there were an estimated 1.3 million African elephants. Now less than one half of that population exists. This decline is attributed primarily to poaching and habitat loss.
But the overall concentration appears to have dwindled over the past few decades per my italicized segment.
it's futile, dude. anything you say to this guy might as well be moot.
I agree. Blaming trophy hunters for population depletion is like blaming the gas in the car for the car wreck.

Wait, I thought hunting elephants was illigal?
yeah me too!
Rules and regulations on anti-poaching is something UN created, it's up to the countries to enforce them. Some countries simply don't give a flying fvck about what animals are on the endanger species list.

I didn't say the guy's right. I'm just saying the rules and regulations are useless if people who came up w/ them don't enforce them.
