One thing for food or a neccesery cull like deer in the UK we wiped out anything that could eat deer a long time ago and they ain't coming back . The rewilding bollocks is rich people trying to seal off large parts of scotland or deep green bollocks:mad:

its not a crossbow its a compound bow basically a bow for the unfit lazy see those big wheels they make it easier to pull the bow back and keep it steady. So extra cunt points for using a sissy weapon and making a pigs ear of the job. A Decent hunter would be ashamed they let an animal suffer for two days
a gun smith who built the hilariously expensive double rifles think house prices, reckoned all trophy hunters were cunts but this one will probably black balled by even that group of cunts:D

Apprantly he's ashamed he shot cecil.

He didn't even kill it. He wounded it and it was killed with a rifle forty hours later.
 
I'm not defending him, or the practise of trophy hunting but ... the park release permits, the permits get bought by people who facilitate other (richer) people coming along and actually doing the hunting. All Dentist man is going to do is say 'I paid these people to take me to a lion I could shoot, the fact that it was illegal/outside the park limits/a celebrity lion are nothing to do with me, I just paid to shoot it'.

The 'guides' and the landowner will (hopefully) face charges but I suspect the dentist will get off scot free :(


until he suffers financial ruin. his family leave him and he ends up killing himself (botching the job so it becomes a drawn out painful week of hell) ... good
 
its the sense of entitlement that does it for me. What right has he? and not even in a fair fight. Brings out my inner stalin. Lets see you hunt guano in the guano mines
This. Entitled, shows complete contempt for nature and the law, blames the locals and guides then says he's sorry he didn't know the lion was famous, so if it was a less famous lion it would be OK?

The blinkered, selfish, murderous attitude of this cunt beggars belief, and he still doesn't realise why everyone hates him now. His PR dude has a job on his hands

Fuck him

Innit. The sheer contempt of the guy to think he'd hand over 50k and not check he's got the proper licenses (I know it's a moot point but still) - blatantly trying to blame Africa.

These people really live in a different world though. Hunting is fair game to them. I was reading a "Hunting Cunts Weekly" or somesuch magazine out there - it really makes you dispair with humanity the combination of people wanting to hunt beautiful animals matched with the entitlement of the moneyed psychopaths that think it's 'normal'.

(There's actually an even more awful consideration that it's (the business of) hunting that's preserved a number of endangered species - in the 80's (IIRC) there was a 'big bang' event where it was decided that people could actually 'own' the (wild) animals within their reserve/land. It was only then that people then had an interest in keeping them alive (for viewing or hunting))
 
Actually getting people to.value wildlife is important what's in it for me is a powerful motivator.
Fish torturers have done a lot to clear up waterways and foxy woxy has not been exterminated in part because people like hunting it.
If people value wildlife more than for food cash for its skin etc stands more chance of exsisting.
If your dirt poor and can get a years pay for making something more endangered your taking the cash :(

Sure, wildlife can create a tourist industry, but often the money available for poaching, ivory for example is still much higher and still tempting.

Sometimes wildlife tourism can get a bit silly though, for example:

Canned Lion Hunting

Sign our petition against canned hunting in South Africa!

The most extreme variety of trophy hunting is “Canned Hunting”. Most of the victims are lions, which are served to their hunters on a silver platter: The animals which are born in captivity are taken away from their mothers within hours of being born so they can be used in petting zoos. When they become of age they then spend the rest of their life in caged compounds waiting to be released in a larger compound for the so called ‘canned’ hunt.

This barbaric practice guarantees a kill as the habituated lion has no where to go inside the ‘can’ or enclosure where it is shot. The animals can’t escape from the cages. Occasionally they are attracted with bait, sometimes they are even sedated with medicine.

Anyone can go and hunt lions in South Africa – a hunting licence or proven hunting experience isn’t usually necessary. This means that many lions aren’t killed by the first shot which results in them experiencing an agonising death, this is often the case when hunters choose to kill the lion using a bow and arrow.

For trophy hunting in South Africa, lions are bred in 200 farms, usually raised by hand and accustomed to humans. Today, around 6000 captive animals are threatened with the same gruesome fate – more than ever before. South Africa has an estimated wild lion population of approximately 1200 lions.

First pet …

Unwitting tourists visit these farms and pay money to look at or touch young lion cubs. That they are thereby supporting a horrific industry, an industry that even many hunting associations reject as being unethical, is something that most of the tourists don’t know. The farms often advertise as wildlife sanctuaries to lure in foreign volunteers under the pretence of helping save the species.

… then shoot

When the lions reach the trophy age of four to seven years they are then deemed appropriate to be sold for a trophy canned hunt. In many cases the ‘hunting’ isn’t carried out on the same farm that the animal was bred at. Instead the lions are transported to other areas and shot there. Most of the breeding and hunting stations in South Africa are located in the provinces Free State, North West and the Limpopo.

Canned Hunting is a hobby for a well-off minority from rich industrial nations. The larger the wallet, the larger the trophy. A male lion with its magnificent mane can cost as much as £25,000, while animals with particularly dark, thick manes go for up to £45,000. On some farms, even the cubs are offered for shooting.

To create the ultimate lion trophy, farmers have to maintain a diverse gene pool when breeding. Due to whistle-blowers in both South Africa and Botswana we now know that wild lions are being smuggled and sold to these farms to ensure this genetic diversity is reached.

Complete hunting packages, which include the “support” of professional hunters as well as room and board, are offered on the internet, at hunting trade fairs or in specialist travel agencies. The transport costs and expenses for the animal preparer are also paid.

But not only lions fall victim to the trigger happy hunting tourists. In order to offer hunters special trophies some farms even breed and offer tigers for hunting, even though the animal isn’t indigenous to South Africa. Leopards and cheetahs are also common big cat species on these farms.

He's also got a felony conviction in the US:

An avid Minnesota hunter accused of illegally killing a protected lion in Zimbabwe has a federal felony on his record related to shooting a black bear in Wisconsin, according to federal court records.

Walter Palmer, 55, of the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie, pleaded guilty in 2008 to making false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about a black bear he fatally shot in western Wisconsin. Palmer had a permit to hunt but shot the animal outside the authorized zone, then tried to pass it off as being killed elsewhere, according to court documents.

He was given one year probation and fined nearly $3,000.
