Animals ARE part of our food change.......like it or, not.

I do not like hunting just for the trophy..........we (or, someone) eats what we hunt.

It isn't just about hunters vs. non hunters or about that particular episode … It is about abuse of Nature, which is ironically suicidal ...

Are you suggesting hunting is anti nature?

They are not particularly evolved there, apparently.

I don't imagine the good doctor actually ate the lion Cecil? That's the point. Hunting for fun or sport is repulsive.

Humans are superior to other animals. Most humans do protect animals. In fact, i recently went to a safari/zoo that were breeding animals that had gone extinct in the wild. They also saved premature and sick animals that would have never survived.

People do talk about overpopulation and china is doing something about it. But then people attack china for human rights violations.

Sure, that worked up until the time we realized we could keep animals for food instead of randomly hunting them.

No need for anyone to hunt these days, especially to hunt meat-eating predators, which humans have shunned eating for thousands of years.

I am not referring to those who hunt for food. For some, it may be necessary.

In most cases the meat from big game hunts are donated to local families.

We always donate what meat we will not eat.

Our bear meat goes to an Indian school.

Are you saying you are fine with eating animals as long as they are not hunted?
