Lions Own Poachers

[lukin2006]

Agreed, and I think that they give us a chance to see animals that we otherwise wouldn't see. Plus, they're protected from predators, so there's that too.

Steve Irwin (crocodile hunter) had no problem with zoos. That is true...I have been fortunate to see the Giant Panda (Toronto and SanDiego Zoos)...never would have seen a panda otherwise.

Zoos are very important now for some species survival and conservation. Not so much in the past though, they did a 180 in most cases.

This is true.

Trophy Hunter Prayed to God Before Killing “Rare” Black Giraffe

This seems like a pointless kill...

That was actually a good kill. The meat went to the locals and that giraffe was to old to breed and was killing the younger males. He had to go.

Yup, and Steve Irwin was one of the coolest people ever lol.

OK...Thank you for clarifying. Just so you know I am not opposed to subsistence hunting, just trophy hunting. I realize the world is full of predators ... and we are one of them.

Very true. RIP Steve.

Yup, he opened my eyes to the importance of conservation and helped me to develop my love for animals.

I don't think anyone really cares about deer, rabbit, small game, fish, etc liscenced or not. It is the poachers cutting off a rhino horn leaving it to die or those who kill gorillas, elephants and lions to sell meat on the black market that are despicable. Those are unsustainable populations that will go extinct real soon. Some already have in the last few decades.....Northern White Rhino being one.

Again, I do not care if you go poach deer or whatever because they are in abundance. So, have at it and send me some venison!

I can't recall where I'd stumbled across a very intriguing article in cyberspace, but it was about an international culinary chef specializing in exotic & endangered game species, servicing some pretty high profile& well known Hollywood types, he'd went into details on where& how he'd obtain his ingredients, the authorities were hot after him& he'd managed to stay one step ahead of them,,,I think his last known A.O. was in New Mexico before he had to light-out and go underground,,, oh,ya!,,,dude was a Chinaman,TOO!

Oh you can't hide your lion eyes
Nothing's as tasty as poachers' thighs
I thought by now you'd realize,
Hongry, you can't hide your lion eyes.

I hope someone puts a bullet right between the eyes of that Jimmy John. Dead center, right over the bridge of his nose.

Are you referring to the person who shot the giraffe?

Perhaps. The pos who likes to shoot lions and other wild African fauna. I wish I could have caught him wondering around checkpoint 41 back in 2005.

I agree. I can't stand poachers. Good thing lions took care of 3 of them.

He said among the most disgusting.

Actually, he didn't, but still no reason to shred the guy for making a statement he probably didn't mean literally.

At first, I thought you were thinking of the movie, The Freshman.

I misread it, but I didn't think that he was singling out just poachers (but the poachers like the ones owned by the lions are absolutely disgusting).

They did it for Cecil!

That's karma.
