The 'Trophy' Shot

[Tefal]

Donald Trump is a controversial figure in Scotland with his £1billion golf complex just outside of Aberdeen. I used to be in favour of it!

Press like this confirms that Trump is a ****

you're aware Donald trump disagrees with hunting himself right?




Also yeah damn that ******* investing money in Scotland

 

[weescott]

My point is it is embarrasing for Trump. I'm all for him investing money in Scotland. I used to be all for his resort. The resort would have protected the coastal errosion that was a real problem like on the Murcur course where they have had to relocate a hole.

His disconnected agressive aproach towards the experimental windfarm and the whole rant on Scotlands renewable energy strategy is embarrasing.

I have lost all respect for the man.

If the locals had their way they'd wipe out the elephants because they destroy their crops.

Well, it's a good job that they seldom get their own way then, no?

What's your point anyway?

I'm sure there're alternative measures that can be taken to prevent an elephant damaging some crops. In fact, (a fraction of) the money that they paid to kill a bunch of animals would no doubt cover it many times over.

canned farmed hunt so you pay for your wild catch so not interested or bothered.

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Legal hunt? Doesn't bother me.

As long as they aren't endangered and aren't just shooting them for the sake of it; ie are eating the animals, I don't see what the problem is.

Zimbabwe is about as corrupt as they come, so I wouldn't take it all as gospel.

One of Zimbabwe's most eminent conservationists told The Independent yesterday that he believed private hunting should be banned for two years until a genuine count of the country's animals could be completed.

"The government deliberately overestimates how many animals we have so they can grant more licences and make more money," Johnny Rodriquez, of the Zimbabwe Conservation Taskforce, said. "If things carry on the way they have recently there won't be any animals left in the next five or six years.

"You can't paint all the private hunters with the same brush but there are a lot of unethical guys out there."

I bet 99% of the outrage is because of the picture of the cuddly leopard.

What difference does eating them make?

Some how turning them in to a poo makes it ethical? Half of these hunters are morbidly obese already!

What difference does it make if it ends up as a poo in the toilet or hanging on someone's wall? None.

I hear that line all the time around here "I hunt for the meat". No you hunt because it's FUN. You have a $40,000 realtree™ camo F150 truck, $6,000 realtree™ ATV (coz you're too fat to walk), $4000/year hunting lease, $10,000 worth of rifles and scopes, $2000 worth of realtree™ goretex crap.

How much meat could you buy at the supermarket with all that?

"I hunt to put food on the table"... right

God I hate realtree.

I do love the daily mail, it's practically free soft pron and it's funny when they say we are over sexualising our children.

She wore a cropped white top that exposed her midriff and a see-through black skirt that could be described as both funky and sexy.

Only if you were over-sexualising children!

Easy to shoot something from a 100 yards, if he actually fought the animals with his bare hands then I would have a little more respect for him if he could pull it off.

Do you pay the same idea to fish men, or game keepers? Rabbits, deer?

More fluffy bunny syndrome. As long as the animals aren't boarding extinction and it's legal, then there's zero issue,

 

[SexyGreyFox]

I wish they would go and shoot those useless animals called Panda's.
What a complete waste of space those things are, nature is telling them they're useless and without man intervening you'd all be dead.

 

[Gerard]

Pair of *****.

 

[mrk]

The things I would do to that, cannot be explained in a mere forum post.

Yeah, I'd grab a kleenex and set to work at removing that clown makeup first off!

 

[Repta]

Provided the meat was actually used for as said in the article ive no problem with it. A lot of african game is actully very nice too eat!

 

[Energize]

As long as they aren't endangered and aren't just shooting them for the sake of it; ie are eating the animals, I don't see what the problem is.

They are. I thought this was common knowledge?

More fluffy bunny syndrome.

It is really necessary to spam every related thread with that macho rubbish? It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't completely irrelevant to the post you were responding to.

 

[Luckystrike123]

I'm not to bothered by the pictures tbh but I don't really understand the "skill" in hunting an animal using a high powered telescopic rifle.

If they want to be classed as real hunters then they should ditch the guns, vehicles etc and hunt on foot using spears. Would even the odds a bit.

 

[dekez]

I was initially outraged, but then started googling Ivanka Trump and feel much better now.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

It's a fluffy cute animal - I'm going to be outraged if I could give a damn.

 

[KatanaDV20]

Unfortunately they are not the only ones. This sort of shooter-vacation is rampant in that part of the world. You gots the $$$ you pick your animal. Any animal. A cursory search of YouTube brings up a TON of videos, a lot of them in HD. Full of goons gloating over their kills.

It is sickening, it is not hunting at all.

Now the Bushmen who go after LIONS with spears??? REAL MEN.
