Why Do People Do This?

[dynasaw]

Why are they smiling? This family shot and killed this elephant as he was eating (you can still see the food in his mouth).
Here is the link to the company that promotes this: http://www.africabig5.co.za/gallery/hunting-photo-gallery/

Is this their idea of fun?

1. I wish all these macho hunters would try hunting something that's aware of the chase

Try hunting people who are on the run (no not like Surviving The Game), like a fugitive. Become a bail enforcement agent, or a process server. I used to be a federal investigator and later a private investigator and worked personal protection details. Hunt someone who is running, has access to a vehicle, can shoot back....

Don't hunt an animal that was eating breakfast when ya got it.

2. There is no need to hunt elephants for any reason. nt

11. So you sign up to kill not one

but several animals as part of your "tour package." This is is unconscionable.

4. What a beautiful white lion

I could not imagine killing such a majestic creature unless it was a matter of life and death. Never for sport.

[dynasaw]

10. This one is particularly painful to look at . . .

a magnificent creature killed for the thoughtless pleasure of two goons.

[xfundy]

5. Painfully sick.

[Phillyindy]

6. Sick minds, soulless bodies

[narnian60]

7. No words.

Just hope their deaths were quick & painless.

[Nye Bevan]

8. Look at those stupid grins on their faces.

Yay, we killed an elephant! We're so special!

[Lizzie Poppet]

9. Trophy hunting disgusts me.

I grew up hunting, although I stopped when I was about 13 or so...but never for a trophy. We only hunted animals we intended to eat.

[lonestarnot]

12. What disgusting fucks.
