Yes but those that climbed Everest risked their own lives they didn't target endangered species for sick fun.
If money talks they can give to conservationist charities. If they are really concerned with conservation then become game keepers or veterinarians working in situ. Its the killing they really want
I am sure there are considerably greater millions that do
You call it sick fun, others call it sport.
Rhinos are dangerous in case you haven't heard.
I'm assuming it was a legal hunt, with the proper licenses and permissions... if the animal is really endangered why were they issued?
And to a 13 year old too. Which perhaps says a lot more about the government that clearly issued them for profit :shock:
Killing endangered African animals for trophies isn't a 'sport' that many would recognise as morally legitimate
Then leave them alone
And to a 13 year old too. Which perhaps says a lot more about the government that clearly issued them for profit :shock:
Your version of what is right is worthless to me. I have no use for the Bambists mentality. I say more power to hunters who engage in hunting legally. And if it upsets lefties-so much better. The constantly offended crowd makes me laugh
It turns out that I made the mistake in posting my first Rhino picture. My bad
This is in fact the one she shot dead and was her first kill .... at the age of 13 !!!

If anything this makes it even worse. Why would any child want to do this ?
Again.. please provide a link to the story behind this.
I don't get why you're hung up on the girl being 13.
So I'm a Lefty now too :lol: Have you any other smears or labels in your arsenal ?
If something is wrong I will call it out as such even if it offends your morally ambiguous sensibilities on this issue.
Because it goes against the anti hunting view that the only people that would hunt are " Neanderthal, "Marlboro Men"....
It all boils down to the fact that you think killing for fun is right and I think that is wrong on the most basic and fundamental of levels. Clearly we are never going to bridge that morality gap
... and you still haven't explained why the fact of it being a 13yo girl seems to bother you more than anything.
And the fact that a child killing such animals for fun doesn't bother you at all speaks volumes.
So they are out there killing elephants to boost their egos and now they are upset when an elephant killed one of them?
I hope other barbarians like that will think twice before trying to kill an innocent animal.
You hunt and kill for food it you have to, not because you think you want to have some fun.
Actually it is a known and accepted risk that when you hunt dangerous animals, there's a chance they might kill or injure you. It is news, but it's not like hunters are going "OMG, that is outrageous, how dare that elephant do that..." Heh, no. The risk is actually part of the draw.
Animals kill animals all the time. It is part of nature, So are we.
If you ever NEED to hunt for food, and have never hunted before, you're probably going to go hungry. It is a skillset. Therefore practice is advisable. As for my family, we eat what we kill.
I don't understand why anyone wants to kill an elephant or other non food animals, just for sport.
As I've been trying to explain to someone else, it isn't about the killing... it is about the experience and the challenge.
You've already been linked it and her quoted admission that it was her first kill
So go do all that and then shoot it ..... with a camera.
Some people just don't get it, apparently.
For probably the same reasons they wouldn't "get" why....
I taught every female in my extended family how to fight dirty and shoot guns, typically when they were around 12-14yo...
I taught my son how to hunt, fish, survive in the woods, and how to fight, shoot and otherwise defend himself from early childhood...
Why I have a collection of various weapons, from swords and tomahawks to pistols and military rifles and know how to use them all...
and couldn't possibly understand how all that relates to why I keep fire extinguishers and stored food on hand, have a secondary water supply other than city water, or why I keep heirloom seeds for produce...
It's mainly about self-reliance and not being dependent on others for the basics of life.
