I like to read all news good and bad. If only posting good news about Zim it would be a very few posts around here I would think.

Anton there are some good folks that are trying to hold it together in Zim and are battling with bad publicity. Not sure they need anymore?

Thanks Kathi and the lads in Zim could do with some words of encouragement.

Rather depends on whether or not the truth, good or bad, is being told. Attempting to censor the truth just because it doesn't suit an agenda is not only virtually impossible these days but is also a slippery slope.

I should say that I have not read the information which has been removed. If it is not factual, fair enough.

I didn't get to read it and I'm not happy that somebody decides that he doesn't like what is posted and his protests removes my right to decide for myself about the validity of the information.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

I hope, what ever it was, was worthy of being deleting, to protect me from having to read it and decide for my self!

I can for the life of me not see why a post that apparently was factual was deleted.

I learn so much from Kathi's posts I can't imagine anything she posted is worthy of a deletion. Since I never saw it, I'll never know.

Kathi's posts are always very constructive, informative and useful. I am dissapointed that it was deleted.

You are right about Kathi's posts.

I have no idea what it was, as it was deleted before I read this thread.

This thread popped up the same day. Perhaps it was the same message. Only Kathi or Andrew would know I guess. I never saw the deleted article.

Hi Jim,

That is in fact the article. I got in and read it before the lock.

I always thought this forum was intended to give international hunters, all and un-filtered information to allow for the best and most informed hunting decisions?

Steve:

Thank you for clearing the air. Fairgame must be awfully damn sensitive to think this article will further hurt the hunting industry in Zim. My general response is, "So tell me something we didn't know?" I think it's outrageous that anyone would try to censor news that might help hunters decide how and where to spend their money.

Hopefully Mugabe will be history soon and a less anti-white racist leader will succeed him, although that's likely too much to hope for.

Apologies to all and I simply indicated to kathi that cut and pasting articles that suggest doom and gloom stories did little for our chaps in the hunting industry.

Gatogordo indeed I am sensitive and some of these media snippets have proven to have little merit but will negatively impact on the Zim hunters some who are already in dire straits.

I have received enquiries from those who were destined to Zim and this in itself is a worrying trend.

Hi Kathi, living in Zim, just curious what this was? And whether I've seen it already here? Do you have a link please? Thanks

. . . so a "deleted" thread is allowed to remain in the African Big Game Hunting forum but a thread on Mugabe, ZANU PF and what that might mean to hunters in the near and long term is moved to the Political forum . . . go figure . . .
