really is, my daughter went on a photo safari to Kenya last year, and they basically just come right up to the vehicle, not much "hunting"
Obviously a zebra poses no threat, but the lions and cheetahs are quite different. As can be seen on hunting videos on YouTube.

reminds me of the bear hunting joke, "you're not doing this for the sport, are you?"

I don't know if I'd shoot a zebra
i wouldnt
The zebra was the one I most understood.
I thought they were really prolific, and generally just pains in the arse.
I don't know for sure, though.
The big male full maned lion seems a lot more fricked up.

or we could start using our brains. How about that instead. If you don't allow hunting there is essentially no financial incentive to protect the endangered animals, and the poachers win. I know some of you idiots think we live in a world where dirt poor Namibians give a frick about protecting animals for the greater good, but until there's a good reason (aka money) for the locals to care, the poachers and slash & burn farmers are going to continue to have their way with the endangered species of the world.

No, watch a lot of Animal Planet. Pisses me off when a cheetah works his arse off to kill a gazelle and those parasites show up to steal it from 'em.

look, i grew up hunting and still do
i guess I don't put animals on the same level as humans like some people on this board
in my view, i see hunting as victimless, but i'm sure that's not a popular opinion

Damn, she shot horse.

Exactly my take. The photo of her mugging over the lion was kind of sickening. The zebra was like a striped pigeon.

there are a shite ton of humans worse than animals. you're definitely right.

from the pics/videos that I saw from the daughters trip to Kenya, they looked like the way it was with buffalo here in the 1800's, just miles and miles of them

Why? She's partly right. If a rare or endangered species is being decimated by disease (like TB), then hunting that animal before it infects the others can be a way to ensure survival for the species.
Yes there's just so many excess elephants and lions and rhinos in the wild that the animal population sorely needs a teenager from Texas to save it from itself.
Anyone who hunts big game like that is an a-hole. At least to after it with a dagger or spear and make it a fair fight.

I saw a news program similar to this a while back about some kind of african antelope or something similar that was being kept on a Texas (I think) conservation, and the man who owned it was charging people to hunt there. The hunting kept the population in control and funded the conservation. By making a market for the exotic animals, it was making it economically feasible to save them.
The argument against it was that it is intrinsically wrong to kill and hunt. The person the interviewed that was arguing against it claimed that he/she (I don't remember) would rather see the animals go extinct than be hunted for sport. It really makes you think about what might motivate some of these conservationists. Is it to save the species and protect biodiversity or some lofty, unrealistic (imo) sort of morality?

I'm not anti-hunting though I'm not a hunter myself. I just don;t see shooting all animals as somehow the same. In other words duck hunting does not in any fricking way equal lion hunting.

Again, it would depend on the animal.

Thankfully we knew when to stop hunting all the buffalo.

they get a lot of their funding from the hunts

Why do you have to equate an animal with a human to understand the shittiness of shooting the animal?
I don't think animals are equal to people but I do think a lion's life > a little girl's fleeting entertainment

i'm not sure why it matters??
if all of these animals were killed for sport, then what difference does it make if one was a zebra and one was a lion?
does the fact that one is prettier or more harmless means its less significant?
