    Yeah sure I get the thrill of the hunt. What I don’t get is the incredible asymtery we developed in it. Shooting a lion with a sniperrifle makes no sense to me. The lion wouldn’t even know from where it hit him. Of course I exaggerated with the grizzly and the knife, but isn’t the thrill of any sport a fair (in theory) competition? These animals have not the slightest chance. And this slight chance is also just getting away if the hunter missed.

    Shooting an animal would feel to me like fighting a toddler that is also nailed to a chair.

      Effeciency. I know a lot of hunters that also eat what they kill, and adhear to limits. It’s a lot of work dressing and animal post kill. Also, its just stupid to hunt without a ranged weapon. Especially against larger animals.

      Now, to the guys that just hunt for sport and not eat the kill…their heads belong on a wall too.

        I get that too. If I do that just for food, efficiency is key. But topic was more in line of “sports” where you just kill for no utilistic reason.

      TBF, if it’s a humane kill, it’s a single shot, and said lion won’t even realize it’s dead before the sound of the rifle reaches its neurons, rapidly flickering out.

        Everything else than that would just give me the sadism-warning-signals. Also knowing that if they’d get away with murder, they’d love to.

          Wouldn’t it be great if canned/tour hunts like this shit suddenly somehow ended with the Great Divine Whitey sighting down his scope and feeling a deep spiritual connection with all his days having been lined up perfectly to produce that singular, defining moment (and that’s when the expert local guide swiftly, silently puts two through his brain pan.)

          Next.

            Would be. I’m not great fan of keeping people alive that hurt humanity. Sadists, racists, sexists, whateverists…they all hinder us from evolving further not backwards. Especially considering it’s mostly the worst exemplars of homo “sapiens” that actually procreate.

            Besides,it’s not just “whitey”. Being pathetic isn’t bound to race.

                Couldn’t say. But I also know that the majority of rich fucks also isn’t black. And that maybe news wouldn’t dare to show a the same news with a black hunter. For fear of being called racists.

                But what I surely know is, that this species is rotten to the core. The skin color or pant’s content doesn’t really matter. Garbage is garbage 😁
