Kill to Save?

[Henry]

I do not agree with the hypocrisy of killing and endangered animal under the guise of conservation.

If these animals are indeed endangered, then no amount of money is justified in killing it to raise money to protect them from what your doing in the first place.

Need to do a little bit of research on the subject on here via the search function, been several long and informative threads on here already. Oh I will for warn you also big can of worms about to get opened up.

I think what you meant to say is "I do not understand"

What if the animal is past its prime and is more of a danger to the species than helpful?

Yeah, and sterile but still runs the young fellas off the females.

There are economic forces that provide for endangered species to continue to perpetuate while being subjected to hunting. For instance Oryx and Pere David.... both non-existent in their native lands, but have sustainable populations here because its profitable to raise them for hunting purposes.

And eats too much so it cuts down on the food for the younger animals that their whole existence depends on!

These are all good points, but for me, I just love the way an animal sounds when they hit the ground. That's why I do it.

I got some started.

Dude, please educate yourself about these subjects and take your source for what it is, liberal propaganda spreading bleeding hearts that only make decisions based on emotion. Use time proven facts and make educated decisions not just stuff from people who say they are experts.

Rant over.
