It's not hunting. Its cold blooded murder. It's so disgusting. They kill some of the most beautiful animals on this planet to prove their false manhood. You don't eat lions, you don't eat elephants. Look at me, I am a great hunter. I am a great man. I have gone deer hunting like millions of americans. You stock your freezers with good meat for the winter. You help control the deer population. Trophy hunting is not hunting.
I would love to have 5 minutes alone with Trumps sons to "discuss" this problem. I would love to find out how tough they are if you know what I mean.

Can I join you in the "discussion."
These people are total cowards, they will fold like lawn chairs.

(2,955 posts)What happened to the cow or chicken your sandwich came from is FAR worse than anything the trophy hunters do to animals. If you have a problem with this you'd better consider going vegetarian. I mean at least the animals hunters kill lived and died with dignity. Life for farmed animals is about as close to hell as you can get.

(4,379 posts)I saw one where a male lion was killed. It gave me nightmares. The male lion they shot was a magnificent animal. The lion had no fear of humans. The lion may have come from a zoo or a circus. The lion was just lying there and the great white hunter shot it. The lion did not die right away. I will remember that video the rest of my life. It was murder.

(7,768 posts)Though it will never bring back the slaughtered animals, I admit I take pleasure when I hear of trophy hunting bastards meeting their demise.
If it happens because they're attacked by an animal, all the better. If these sick fucks suffered and were in pain at the end, better still.
Yes, I hope some day Jr. and Eric have such a fate.

(4,787 posts)I think that the 'review' is an evaluation of whether these beautiful animals need to be killed for over-population concerns. (Oddly enough, I don't recall any great outcry about there being too many elephants and lions when PBO announced his policy banning importation of trophies.)
I have little faith in reviews under this turd. Where they disagree with him, he tends to ignore them.

(20,202 posts)They don't have the balls to say what they really do. They don't say they shot their prey or killed it. They say they "took" it.
They also say they "took the trophy" instead of the more accurate "sawed their head off".
If you have to santize your actions with euphemisms, maybe you shouldn't do them in the first place.

(1,151 posts)am an omnivore* and understand that animals die for my sustenance. That is why I do not begrudge hunters who kill abundant and even over-populated species for food. Especially those who let nothing go to waste. I have relatives who cull wild boar and deer populations and are very generous with the meat they get from the hunts.
But trophy hunting? No, that's pointless, sickening murder. Killing a threatened or endangered species in order to cut off its head or tail or tusks and put it on your wall is vile and disgusting. It's the mark of a psychopath who would really rather be able to murder people and get away with it, but isn't smart enough to avoid getting caught and doesn't want to risk the consequences. It's proof of a character so lacking in any redeeming qualities and a life devoid of any lessons except the feeding of one's ever greedier id, that murdering the planet's most beautiful and majestic living beings is the only way to feel like a real man. Except it only makes them more vile and worthless than they were before.
I would love for you to have 5 minutes alone with those wastes of skin. I think you'd find they aren't tough at all.
*And should anyone chime in saying factory farming is just as bad, I'll add my personal disclaimer...I am an omnivore and I am an animal lover and I hate factory farming. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you do you. I don't think human omnivores are any better or worse than any bear or lion or dog that eats meat. But since our species has found a way to succeed at the expense of our planet and all of its inhabitants, it is our duty to be better stewards. I am careful to purchase my meat from a local farm that lets its animals graze and wander around completely organic pastures. I've visited the farm, and I'm grateful for the work they do and the way they treat their animals and the land.
