Why???

[###w-m###]

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.

it's just another of minters made up stories crete, everyone knows he has no friends in the real world, and only a few (very few) misguided fools who defend him on answerbank. I've reported him for his comments on the previous about whiffey being a paedo.

crete, why don't you take your menopausal life somewhere else. That is about the seventh time you have mentioned "special brew" and yet I am the predictable one?

lambert, I hope you are keeping well. Take care mate. Did you report me being called a w4nker as well. You clearly are upset by such profanity. There again, I wouldn't put it past you to have "unnatural feelings" for your daughter. Perhaps you are in a ring eh? who knows.

Yes, you are all quite right. I am such a mean, bad person for respecting animals.

[ummmm1]

Wardy......it's the same people and the same argument. Can't you just ignore each other?

My answer was in response to the fact that I got banned again while you lot can have full on arguments and it's still here. I take it someone doesn't like me....
