This article is very clear that it is Hunters NOT Poachers that are doing the harm to africa's wildlife????
Here's a good excerpt:
"Hunting, especially in Central and West Africa, is much more serious than we imagined," says Russell Mittermeier, president of Conservation International. "It's huge," with the result that hunting now constitutes the pre-eminent threat to some species.But recent years have brought a more dangerous kind of hunter, and not only because they use AK-47s and even land mines to hunt.



I wonder how many people believe this crap?

What? You don't hunt with land mines? Didn't you get instruction in your NRA-approved Hunter Safety Course on safely deploying land mines (never point a loaded land mine at anything you do not intend to blow up). Here in Texas we're even considering a special anterless "land mine only" early deer season. Why, hunting with land mines is one of the oldest and noblest pursuits of dedicated hunters.

Arlid,

Soccer moms is term to describe upper middle class house wifes who have nothing better to do than drive their spoiled kids around to soccer practice and try and impress each other with feel good politics.

As a group they are ignorant, ditsy, shallow people who have spent time at the titty fairy and try and impress each other with new running suits and designer shoes.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Well said, sir! clap

I kept trying to add something to your post in explanation to our friend in Norway but can't think of anything that would add any value to it, so I'm just going to say again, "Well said"!

Quit "preaching to the choir" !!! I already e-mailed them, strongly noting that poachers, not hunters committed this atrocity........And I have Mittermeier's phone number, ready to call first thing Monday morning, and talk real loud to him................Get those e-mails and phone calls going!!!!!

Actually saw it first in the current issue of newsweek. I'd send you the copy but i puked all over it.

If you read the comments under the MSN/MSNBC story, verbatim by the way to newsweek, the scum outweigh the thoughtfuls by a wide margin.

Oh, and I kinda like the bouncing betty. It ruins more meat but it puts them down nicely, or at least leaves a better blood trail than those brutish anti-tank models so in vogue right now.

Those reports are always so inaccurate. I've actually been using Claymore Mines I brought back with me from Viet Nam. Ahhhh, there's nothing like the sound of 700 stainless steel balls whistling through the air, trees, flesh, bones, etc.! stir dancing
