Big Game Hunting

Whilst it doesn't surprise me, I still just cannot work out why people want to kill these animals.

Maybe this explains where some of the pets that get driven around JBR come from.

Back in the day, the phrase big game hunting used to imply stalking some moose in nightclubs :D

he explains it reasonably well. The proper conservation and hunting of game is vital to sustaining animals that would otherwise become extinct because of man, not to mention the communities that are supported by the responsible application of conservation techniques.

the example in Tanzania is not that and i suggest a quick google of the UAE and the Hadza to get you truly inflamed about how things should not be done.

Some big game hunting is necessary in certain situations. In much of the US if deer were not hunted extensively (lack of predators) the carnage on the roads would be greater than it is. A wounded deer by a car strike can take days to die. Wikipedia stated for year 2000.. 247,000 deer were hit by cars in the US alone.

Also the Trump "boys" are thrill seekers not hunters, no one eats wild cats.
Except of course (insert off color joke here)...
