agreed

OR completely MENTAL

I suppose only according to those that disagree with it. I'll revert back to AC's post.

I'm saying nothing.

Indeed, we must be tolerant of Giraffe Slayers.

Moo, even your goodself, as a hunter can't agree with giraffe killing just for fun?

Refer to my post!

I see. I just can't get how the pic doesn't disgust you or anyone for that matter.

To me it's no different than seeing a hunter next to a dead deer / bear / elk / moose.

A dead hunted animal is a dead hunted animal (that sounds very harsh but it's true).

And as I said above it totally makes me a hypocrite to say i'd shoot one thing and not another (based on the "a dead hunted animal is a dead hunted animal" statement. But I have no rhyme or reason as to why I think that way.

And don't get me wrong - I am NOT trying to make anyone see my point of view - i'm just giving it as an equal and opposite reaction to the op.

I think it's weird not to feel weird about it too. A Giraffe isn't an ordinary or traditional kind of kill, that just feels wrong and one has to go out of their way (and pay $10K) to even kill it. Like harpooning a dolphin and grinning over its lifeless body for a family portrait. Sick.

How is it different to a Polar Bear? (other than being cheaper!)

We get it, you and Dollface dont approve... Most (all?) of us think it weird, but its a free country I guess. Saying the same thing over and over doesnt change that.

In that one sentence you have just obliterated and made defunct internet forums as an 'art-form'.

Maybe they are trying to prove Einsteins theory was wrong but insted of doing it they are saying it

I think killing polar bears is horrendous, they're endangered!

What's a free country? There's no such thing. In Britain they banned fox hunting. Why? Because most people (the ones who have no idea what its like to live in the country and haven't been brought up with that pastime) thought it was barbaric even though it had been a tradition for some others for generations.

If it's ok to hunt Giraffes why not fox hunting? Where's the freedom for "each to their own" in that case?
