    While I seriously dislike trophy hunting, it's currently one of the few ways how wildlife conservation projects in Africa are funded. It sounds a bit fucked up, that the money to protect these animals comes from some rich assholes who want to hunt and kill said animals, but that's pretty much how it works when it's well managed.

    Either way. Nothing wrong with hunting.

    Eating the thing afterwards doesn't make it any better... (just more twisted in some cases).
    Those things are not mutually exclusive, in fact both individually and together, those elements provide you with enjoyment. You are not disproving the argument put forward because you aren't contesting the specific goal that is striven for in the pursuit of this sport.

    Makes me fucking sick. These people are the absolute scum of the Earth and I would not be sad if every single one of them was torn to shreds. It's a shame they weren't.

    Thats where you're wrong. Poaching for Chinese remedies and deforestation is driving these creatures to extinction.

    Big game hunters going to Africa to hunt is actually preserving these species. The money spent to kill a lion goes to stop poachers and preserve habitat. Also the meat is eaten just not by the hunter it goes to the local people.

    How about not being there in the first place? This just shows that people aint shit against those kind of animals even with rifles, and stand no chance in hell without weapons. Killing them from safe distance is all they can do witch is no sport.

    I'd like to see you dropped into wildlife with a gun and see how easy it is for you to avoid getting mauled to death. A gun is obviously far superior to claws but to act as if it's a walk in a park seems silly. You can easily be killed if you don't know what you're doing.

    That has nothing to do with the trying to escape though. They are shitbags, but to imply that a braver person would have stood their ground is nonsense.

    It's how the world works. Predator and prey. Just like you doing your daily job, and being helpless against your boss keeping all the profits.
    Humans don't really need to hunt with our food industry. Lion meat does not taste good to eat right? Lions are going extinct. The only reason to hunt a like is for its pelt right?

    I have no problems with deer hunters who are allowed to hunt to manage the species along with any other animals for the same reason.

    The title is stupid MMO-C clickbait bullshit.

    It's tragic that they'd kill such a majestic creature, but you're a complete moron if you think anyone isn't going to run away out of some type of honor.

    Most trophy hunters are white fucks who rely on everyone around them while they shoot stationary animals. It's a piece of piss.

    Every predator in the world would have done the same. There is no such thing as a fair fight in nature.

    Nothing is equal with humans. If you watched the video they used a truck to drive away the lions and the lions are playing with each other, and even the people are pushing each other around for fun. At some point the people decided not to fire at the lions and wanted to drive them away. They could have just continued to fire their weapons, but they didn't. Probably for hunting reasons.

    I value human life above all animals, and that includes lions. Remember at the end of the day those people have families who are waiting to see them. At the same time the Lions are predators and they too will kill. They will also kill their own kind. There is no justice here to have trophy hunters die.

    Humans have done worse to humans. Much much worse. Yet for some reason it's easier to empathize for animals. Of course it's popular to hate on white people now. Remember, most of this hunting takes place in countries where white people don't normally live. So lets say white people do the most Trophy Hunting, who's letting them?

    Be more angry at the wealthy, not the white man. Whoever has money will likely be doing the same shit.
