Hunting is one thing, this ...Oh, this is revolting! Hunting is one thing, this is...well, as you said, execution! I worked with a lady who talked about going big game hunting in Africa. The group she wanted to go with worked with the local government/tribes so that when an animal was killed, the trophy "parts" were taken and then the rest of the animal was used by the people in the area for food, clothing, etc.<br /><br />As much as I hate the idea of an "organized, planned" hunt, at least in this case, the animal was used to feed and clothe people. Still...isn't hunting about the sport and the use of the animal for the hunter? Ugh...such an issue.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I haven't heard about this until now. Happy to see you at my blog, though :) Much better news!<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8633605624278222815.post-8703183059782997292014-01-16T22:24:42.801-05:002014-01-16T22:24:42.801-05:00Wow that's pathetic.

Hunting should be to feed a person or their family. It isn't a sport, imo, and shouldn't be labeled as one; we lose respect for the animal then, don't care that it gave its life to feed us. mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8633605624278222815.post-29265882459302085642014-01-13T13:18:44.543-05:002014-01-13T13:18:44.543-05:00If one has 350K extra to spend, it is sad they are...If one has 350K extra to spend, it is sad they are not doing it to save lives, not destroy a life.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8633605624278222815.post-42852104244231791882014-01-13T10:59:19.125-05:002014-01-13T10:59:19.125-05:00That is sad.

Wealth isn't an excuse for lack of values, of global conscience, of basic appreciation of life. I was revolted when I heard about it, desperate for a way to stop it, so your post makes me feel less alone. I'm sure there's petitions out there that we could sign, ways to make the outcry a public thing, and possibly shame the gloating winner into giving up the permit, "pardoning" the rhino--what better way, after all, to show off your wealth than by "throwing away" $350K?Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8633605624278222815.post-34758330148464555382014-01-13T04:40:14.590-05:002014-01-13T04:40:14.590-05:00Hi Kittie - I love Namibia ...
