What do you think about...

“Hunting for sport?
Any time I can.”

That makes you a POS.
But we already know that about you.

“Look at me I killed a moose and left it to rot.”

Vile, cosplay craptwat.

Projection.

I’ve never left game to rot, as you suppose.

Then it wasn’t for sport dumbass. Learn English sometime before you die please.

It is quite possible to do it for sport and for the food.

No one buys a 50k dollar boat because he can’t afford to buy fish at the store.

So, the primary purpose, for most of us in the first world anyway is that they enjoy the sport of it.

Shooting and animal is the same as hooking a fish.

It is in a way. Fishing is hunting for fish. The difference is you use a different tool.

I suppose you could argue that some fishing is purely for sport in that the fisherman has every intention of returning the fish, relatively unharmed.

It is possible to hunt and fish with the same tool.

Yes you could argue that, and you would win. That’s why I used it as an argument and Billy Batshitcrazy dropped the subject.

Who stole your nic? That was two coherent posts in a row.

Hunting implies ethics.

Go ahead & try to spin what ethics were involved here...

I’d need to know a lot more about this than just that pic, DiS. This may not be hunting at all. Could be poaching. Who knows. Tell me more about the situation.

It was a trophy hunt.

[Bill in Houston]

Yeah, still not enough details.
When?
Where?
How?

Trophy hunts can be entirely ethical, in fact quite beneficial. Herd management environmental protection, disease control, etc.

Google “Jewell Crossberg” for details. He was fired from his job as a conservationist in Western Australia after that pic and others from South Africa hit the net, and it sounds like HE didn’t think it was ethical because he deleted the Facebook page as soon as they were discovered. If discovering a public FB page is a thing.

He may or may not be the same Jewell Crossberg that killed some one in SA in ‘07 because he thought a black man was a baboon, but it also may be a coincidence that there are two Jewell Crossberg’s with guns that have been to SA.

True.

If your intention is to eat what you hunt, you can still consider the hunting activity to be a sport.



What do you think about hunting for sport?

I think most people would read my question and take it to mean hunting for sheer sake of killing the animal(s) -- without the intention of eating it/them.

That's why I said... "for sport," and not just, "What do you think about hunting?"
