Does this screenshot give you any insight to the complete lack of credibility of the media's smear campaign on hunting lately? The Big 5  | ||

Todd - my first reaction was to burst out laughing, but this is very sad indeed! I keep thinking ignorance is curable, but our main line media may be terminal. | |||

Sad that they are this stupid, made even worse because they surely don't give a rip they got it wrong. | |||

Some time ago, I think it was CNN who had a panel discussion on hunting. One of the panel said she grew up around hunting and remembered her father going out with his RIFLE to shoot ducks. Only a slight violation of federal law. | |||

The problem is that most African countries governments don't give a shit about there animals outside of the parks. If one leader, who truly gave a crap, in just one country was to tell the Airline in question, you don't transport trophies, then you are not allowed to land in our airports until you do transport said trophies, that would be refreshing. Cant see someone like fucking Mugabe doing that though. | |||

Not the point of this thread. Take a look at that CNN graphic they had on screen. Anything strange about that "Buffalo" on the far right? | |||

The complete lack of credibility is of their own making. In this particular example it is due to laziness. There is no excuse. These folks have research departments at their disposal. Expect more of the same as long as desk editors on down the line to the reporter on the ground are not held accountable by their boss or the consumer. | |||

Just for that I'm moving up a trophy bison hunt on my bucket list. Maybe next year. And by the way, I'll drive and bring all kinds of disgusting animal parts back with me. | |||

TORONTO — Air Canada says it will no longer transport big-game hunting trophies after the killing of Cecil the lion drew international attention. A company spokesman says the airline will no longer carry trophies from lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and water buffaloes .

I laughed for a couple of moments too. Then I felt deflated. That was done by an intern. All of the network's interns are Millennials. It's very sad. Almost as bad as the map of SA in another thread. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

That CNN pic pretty much defines our dilemma as hunters because the anti's don't give a shit about science and facts and base all their arguments on emotion. I bet not 5% of them will pick up on that being a bison or give a rat's ass any way. | |||

Look, I refuse to even watch CNN because they are all, without exception, either retarded or in need of mental help, but are you sure this wasn't shopped? Even CNN can't possibly be this stupid. Let me know if it's true before I pass it on. I got a good laugh in any event. | |||

Hey Frostbit, You can assure Air Canada I won't try to import a "water buffalo" from Africa. But do ask them if they will import "water buffalos" from Australia, New Guinea or Argentina? That should keep them busy for a while. We should also, in light of these seeming misidentifications, ask that they put the scientific name in their regulations. Then I can send them my "scientific name" and why I will never fly them -- anywhere. | |||

If that kind buffalo is what I am hunting in Zambia in October, I could have saved a bunch of money by going down to Ted Turners ranch in southern New Mexico! | |||
