NO


THEY ARE NOT

Why would you want to hunt a giraffe?

I'm sort of outraged lol

Question:


Would this woman still have paid to do this hunt if the rule was she couldnt take a picture or share it on her social media accounts?



Id say no

I can hunt for a trophy and also put the fines piece of venison backstrap on the table and chow down while looking at the shoulder mount on the wall

I'm not saying you don't keep the meat. But the primary goal is not to put meat in the freezer if you are targeting a specific deer, typically for the antlers. Trophy hunting implies selectivity for a particular reason.

Because there is no reason to hunt one.

THEN she would be confirmed douchey, although taking a picture of you looking down the scope pointing at the camera is pretty bad itself.

People have been doing these type of hunts long before social media

Theres no reason to do thousands of things we do, but we do.

Put yourself in the shoes of the South African group that arranged this:

Do you:

A. Shoot the giraffe yourself because he's sterile and keeping the younger bulls from breeding, thereby negatively affecting the herd.

B. Let some dumb American pay you $50k to do what you were going to have to do anyway.


Think real hard and I'm sure you can come up with the smart answer.

Why not relocate?
