[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6223273, member: 6750039"] She's a guest and allowed to do what she was because of the laws that country has in place. As she was there legally and was legally allowed to do what she did, I can't really see a reason why she wouldn't be surprised by what some said about it. They live there - it's on them what goes down in their country, not her. All I'm saying is that a lot of people commenting on this don't have the first clue as to what really happened or what hunting is. I never said she should be given an award, what I'm saying is that if you want to criticize I think you'd better know all the angles before you open your mouth. It's not nearly as simple as 'some foreigner shot a lion'. I never said they couldn't decide. Hell, they [I]have [/I]decided and they still make decisions to this very moment. It's not on me or SCI - it's on the individual gov'ts. For example, a major safari destination was the Okavongo Delta for a long time. Recently the gov't decided to suspend hunting there. Looks to me like they're perfectly capable of making the decisions they deem best. I'm talking about what actually happens and why some do offer safaris. It's of major economic and environmental benefit. What's more dangerous to wildlife: A hunter's bullet or a developer's excavator? Well, if you allow hunting and you open it to anyone who wants to come and pay you make land valuable [I]as undeveloped land[/I]. The concessions safari companies own are measured in hundreds of [I]miles [/I]in size. That's a lot of habitat that's been protected, wouldn't you say? And you can thank safari dollars for that, too. Hunters are conservationists. And what do you mean 'uncaring'? Have you ever seen an animal that's starved to death? I hunt to help prevent that from happening. When deer, for example, run unchecked (cuz our forbears unrelentingly destroyed their natural predators aside from us) they don't just hurt themselves, they also eat all of the food that other animals eat. What, exactly, do you think hunting is? Uncaring. Yeah. All you're doing is demonstrating your ignorance. Hunters care. That's why they (for the most part - exceptions everywhere, yadda yadda) hunt. What do you do for wildlife, if I may ask? [/QUOTE]
