Why???
I have just had a huge row with what I thought was a friend. Basically he has booked a trip on an African safari whereby he will be hunting elephants, lions and other beautiful creatures. Obviously, it will not be on protected reserves and the company state they will only kill elderly animals or "the alpha male" so the herd/pack etc will thrive to populate. Also they are stating that hunting is good for the environment as it ironically assists the eco-system.
Now, as you may know I am an animal lover but I do hunt. However, I vehemently maintain that I have never killed anything I or a colleague would not eat. I have shot a few dears, and to be honest i was a little upset as they too are majestic animals. However, it was on land where they are bred for meat, and I am not a vegetarian. Likewise, venison is lovely and I am a crack shot so the animals did not suffer.
I will state, I am anti-snare traps and baiting. And fox-hunters can rot in hell as far as I am concerned.
So my long-winded point is, how can I convince my "friend" that this �7000 safari hunt is morally wrong. Also how can anybody enjoy shooting a giraffe or a lion for mere pleasure?
I shall not post a link but if you put in safari hunt in google images you will see beautiful animals slain being exhibited after.
let the animals roam free and wild.
Convince me otherwise.

If your parents brought you up to respect your education and do a bit better in life, perhaps you could live slightly above the poverty line you seem to adhere to?
Why don't you get a better job? Simple solution and one that does really require further insult.
There are chances out there, and perhaps one day you may earn a decent wage.
All becuase you are scotch scum (probably Catholic foulness as well) do not fret. Life chances are aplenty.
Now, if you can honestly say that the petty insults started on the innoculous thread by me, I shall hold my hands up and admit defeat.
Support?????? I have asked a question that only one person has answered. I am not after support. Unlike you however, who feels it his duty to be liked.
Whiffey, i may be a w4nker, but at least I think of adults when I do. You, well.................it's just not right.
How green is thou whiffster.
Fortunately, I have not "met" you. I have not knowingly "met" any kiddy fiddler. But it just goes to show, they lurk everywhere.
Get help pedo-man. Please.
Do you really think people believe all this lord of the manor tripe you spill out, grow up!!
And you really do need to brush up on your spelling.
My spelling is excusable, I am just a Peasant!!!
Will it get me a job? Don't want one
Anyway, very funny peasant. Nice to know even one of whiffeys log ins can have a sense of humour.
I just wish this rather creepy flattery of me was from somebody other than a bona fide kiddy rapist.
The thing is whiffey I have never mentioned your credentials, you seem to take such a jealous view of mine I dare not.
A Lotus????? I am sure Richard Branson is thinking "where did it all go wrong" eh?
I love the way you say "Now" have a comfortable lifestyle. You see, I always have had.
As I predicted, a peasant or a liar. Public schools cost money, more often taken from a wealthy parent or two. So why say "now"
Tut tut, whiffey. Your phoney intelligence with you 100% correct spelling will not fool me.
Truth always prevails.
