Putting them "to use" is the subjective issue. Putting a head on a wall is not putting it to use IMO. Harvesting an animal and processing the meat to feed your family is definitely putting it to good use. Making a rug, not so much. Trophy hunting is not putting an animal to good use, whether its here, Africa or the north pole. Its vanity. You can justify it however you want but at its root its an evil act.

I put its head on the wall and use the rest for food. I don’t eat skulls or horns.

And of course that’s not evil .

How much money do you donate to their conservation?

There is a fine line between harvesting wild game for food while showing respect for the animal, versus killing animals as a means to feed one’s own ego (antler’s on the wall, etc.). More often than not, hunting/fishing is as much about pride for the poacher as it is about passion for the sport.
Paying thousands of dollars for an executive to sit in a recliner (with little to no hunting experience) to kill a farm-raised animal reflects no respect for the animal & is usually done to pad one’s own ego. In this instance, hunting is a means to that end.. Insert golf, fishing, women… etc.

So you’d rather people kill something, eat it, and throw away the rest? Vs using everything possible on it.

You realize people in other cultures that eat what they kill also use other, non edible parts? I’ve been there and I’ve seen it so I’d love to hear you rebuke that. I guess you think they should just throw away the rest?

I missed it, why is @drvenner ’s family jewels at stake here?

 

[Hardy]

i just spent $1100 on two tickets for the entire weekend and now this comes out. christ

It will be worth it. You are going to get to experience giving a gift that will not be forgotten.

 

[drvenner]

Nuts!!!!

 

[drvenner]

Apparently because @Weezer and @VolsDoc81TX are very interested in testicles, for whatever reason.

I am talking about the people that pay to travel to exotic locations for the express purpose of shooting an animal for THE TROPHY. That is all. Keep spinning those plates though.

 

[drvenner]

Yeah, most kids only get 25% scholarships. I don’t know the limit, though.

The limit is 11.7. Vandy gets around it because of their endowments for students who cannot otherwise afford to attend the school. They use these endowments instead of baseball scholarships for many of their players.

 

[bignewt]

How much money do you donate to their conservation?

Relevance? My charitable donations go strictly to no kill animal shelters. Because of that I cannot speak against trophy hunting?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

What a world

Low bond? Are you kidding me? That’s attempted murder of a small child

I’m trying to get you to understand those same people that do that are the same people that are supporting conservation. I’d love to know what you have done to support conservation.

You are literally bashing and arguing with the people that support the thing you think you are protecting and it’s absolutely nuts.

Because hunters support so many public lands and conservation efforts we do have the right to tell you that your are wildly incorrect.

No way this weekends worth that.

I was just making the point that where do you think money for conservation is going to come from?

 

[Hardy]

Worth is completely subjective. It’s not worth that to you. Others would pay even more for different seats.

Glad something like this is happening.

So all the money to protect animals comes from those who pay to kill them? Humans are the worst.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Had to do something with that stimulus money

Why don’t you step up and start donating to save the wildlife then, oh wait. Humans are the worst. Most have so many great ideas until they have to actually do it.

 

[Volbucky]

Lol, go to Walmart. Let someone else do your killing for you so you can feel better, Mr. conservation.

we dont have Tigers, Lions, Elephants, Hippos or Cheetahs here in the US.

See a mule deer? Blast it. Send backstraps to Johnson City TN.
