Why is there such a backlash against big game hunting?

A lot of people care more about animals than other human beings. It's sad.

This has been going on for years

Another consequence of the gay agenda

Big game hunters are being attacked because they are easy scapegoats

well, it is certainly distasteful when you read about it. if this lion was

8/3/15 11:13am

My understanding that it was lured out, but it was still hunted on

oh i'm sure it was definitely on unprotected land. but i also bet the guides

If you pay that kind of money to a company that promises to pay all permits and

i just read from a scientist who studied cecil. he says they lured him out

8/3/15 11:49am

Its not fair sometimes the animals know where they are safe

8/3/15 11:35am

Do you have any idea how much the Elk tags go for around Yellowstone?

Eddie

8/3/15 11:37am

yep. people need to stop confusing what the dentist did that day with hunting

smokymountainrain

8/3/15 11:18am

I doubt the dentist even knew how the lion got there

You're really stretching

I'm not sure there is a backlash against big game hunting

There is a backlash against big game hunters.

8/3/15 11:26am

There are always going to be a few of everything. I hunt big game and

Still a 1st world problem

RedlandsCoug

8/3/15 11:43am

yes. no doubt about it.

smokymountainrain

8/3/15 11:46am

Because a lot of folks see hunting as unnecessary and cruel

8/3/15 11:22am

Lions are cute and cuddly (in photos) and dentists are... dentists

ColoSpgs

8/3/15 11:23am

penance should be throwing some dentists into a lions den

8/3/15 11:24am

If there's a backlash, it's about "sport" hunting which, really, is kind of

That's a 1st world problem

RedlandsCoug

8/3/15 11:30am

I guess I'm not sure why that matters. Westerners often object to conduct

What's the point of it? Killing for entertainment?

Ruby Soho

8/3/15 11:30am

There is probably a great deal of evolutionary value.

RedlandsCoug

8/3/15 11:31am

Killing for killing's own sake is kind of distasteful

spinner

It seems there is more of a "clever girl" aspect to big game hunting than

RedlandsCoug

8/3/15 11:47am

If they want to prove they're smart maybe they should take up scrabble

spinner

8/3/15 11:53am

That's not what I was referring to.

RedlandsCoug

8/3/15 12:31pm

You've got a few things wrong

shakarocks

8/3/15 11:56am

The details were all about this specific case

spinner

8/3/15 12:11pm

Lions have rebounded in many places

shakarocks

8/3/15 12:34pm

If that's all really the case

spinner

8/3/15 12:54pm

the fact that this guy is being prosecuted tells you it wasn't "game management"

8/3/15 1:36pm

You may not have noticed, that but this evolved into a discussion on hunting.

Eddie

8/3/15 1:48pm

ha. i have no idea what you just said. and i'm a hunter.

8/3/15 3:30pm

That's my point: in principal it might be OK, but I worry about abuses

spinner

8/3/15 2:36pm

There are some very smart people who run the conservation efforts

shakarocks

8/3/15 3:08pm

Which is why I worry, particularly in places like Zimbabwe

spinner

8/3/15 3:26pm

Most aren't corrupt

shakarocks

8/3/15 3:56pm

It's Zimbabwe

Of all the things going wrong in the world, I put these incidents in one big

Isn't big game hunting "killing because you like to kill" as you stated?

AFCougK9

8/3/15 1:43pm

declining species makes them probably something we shouldn't be hunting a lot
