re: Outrage alert: White woman hunts a giraffe in Africa, so you know what happens next

She should have her gun owning privileges taken from her here in the U.S. She has shown she is not responsible with a firearm. Next thing you know she’ll be shooting up a school.

nope, close but wrong gender

I have no problem whatsoever with this. The giraffe was 18 years old, not a breeder and killed three other bulls that were breeders. But giraffes are pretty so we have to be enraged! The people that are outraged over this haven’t done their research.

If one giraffe that can’t breed kills three giraffes that can breed, how is that good for the species? This is what you would call a necessary kill.

Yea, no fricking point in that whatsoever. This is coming from someone who grew up hunting and hunts every season.

These are the shite heads that Joe Rogan talks about on his podcast.

Ya win some ya lose some.

Is there still time for me to post my thoughts purely based on hyperbole and emotion while I simultaneously ignore any contextual facts?

And this applies to so many other things including Rhinos and Lions


So many times, the outrage and sometimes the ensuing regulation is brought through feelings not facts


People hate to see "pretty" and "peaceful" things being hunted but couldn't care less if someone hits a mouse with their car

From what I read this particular giraffe was old and preventing younger bulls from breeding. Maybe that's true. Fine. Whatever.

That dentist lured a well known old lion off of a nature preserve to kill it. He deserves every bit of shite he got and more so.

These people really wanna hunt big game they should do it with a bow and arrow or a spear.

You need to have a little better listening comprehension... yeah he says it looks bad but also completely understands the necessity for it



And lets not put Joe "The Almighty Hunter" Rogan on a pedestal here like he's the voice of everything hunting.

Right, I just don't get why someone would want to pay top dollar to go over there and have a guide drive you out to the giraffe and say, "hey, shoot that one over there."

Boo, it ain't that simple. I don't know about that particular animal but with many exotic hunts, they could have been tracking that thing for days to killed that specific one.

Well known by who?

No one in Zimbabwe or the US had ever heard of this "Cecil" before the incident

It was known by the people that worked in the preserve. That's all
