On our national news at the moment: There is disgust from animal welfare groups as a New Zealand millionaire becomes the latest to pose beside slaughtered African animals. A US TV presenter was internationally criticised after posting a photo of herself with a shot and bloodied lion. Now photos have also surfaced of property developer Mark Gunton standing over the corpse of an elephant and a crocodile. Executive director of animal rights group SAFE Hans Kriek says African hunting trips have been available to rich tourists for several years now. "It's a power thing. It's the same sort of people that like to dominate in their business, they like to dominate the animals and show they can shoot and kill an elephant. "There's nothing in it. Anyone can shoot an elephant when you've got a gun and the elephant hasn't got a chance." Mr Gunton is chairman of the New Zealand Retail Property Group. | ||

They were previously only available to lower and middle class tourists. It's only in the last "several years" that the rich tourists were allowed to hunt in Africa.

Not so sure that you are entirely correct?  Ask anyone who has shot a baboon if he posed with the 'carcass', or with the 'body' or with the 'corpse'?

Sounds just as silly as those who "harvest" animals! | |||

These are the same informed folks who don't know the difference between an autopsy and a necropsy. Beware of anyone who attributes human behavioral traits to animals. Their relationship with reality is questionable.    Mike ______________ DSC DRSS (again) SCI Life NRA Life Sables Life Mzuri IPHA "To be a Marine is enough." | |||

Was the Neanderthal power hungry as well, when he chased the mammoth?

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

Carcass; the word corpse refers solely to humans, same as the word murder (and rape). | |||

The one thing the greenies are good at, besides making me laugh, is to create hunam-like animals with feelings, family ties and human-like behaviour. There are only 3 people in the world that think I am rich.......my 3 children.  Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips. Through Responsible Sustainable hunting we serve Conservation.
