She harvested over 2000 lbs of meat from that giraffe.

So, she killed a nuisance animal, and fed a frickton of people with it. I fail to see the problem.

People are retarded. These hunts are huge business for the locals. Plus it really helps conservation efforts and gives a frick ton of meat. I hate idiots who freak out over things they have no idea what they are talking about

typically these types of hunts cost a pretty penny, and the money goes into conservation efforts. Otherwise they have very little money for such efforts.

There's a very good argument that it's kind of a necessary "evil" per se.

This will not resonate with those that have shown outrage because, believe it or not, the preservation of the species isn't really most important to them.

They attach human emotions to these animals...and thus, they are sad to see them killed.

You can easily see who thinks emotionally in this thread. You have half the group who can process the idea of conservation and the positive results of big game hunting. The others can't get past the sadness they experience when considering it. They reject the conservation aspect despite it achieving what should be the most important goal.

Listening to the Meateater Podcast from this week, and they presented a story about some cormorant hunting in the northwest that was going on to curb predation on salmon populations that were swimming out to sea. The antihunters got involved, and got the practice stopped because it was "cruel to the cormorants".

Your comment just made me think about that and laugh, because it's absolutely true. People that don't like the "unnecessary" death of an animal will never be swayed, no matter the amount of data that supports hunting as a viable management tool, and the amount of money that is funneled into management because of hunters.

It is fricking ridiculous.

You see these tards proud of their Giraffe(really tough kill there jackass), or a black Rhino(hunting from a truck)kills , animals that are going extinct. Let's hope a Pit bull finds her one day
