They're so beautiful. It's like hunting a giant horse.
I can somewhat understand why people would want to hunt a lion or something like that, but this was completely unnecessary
Actually this isn't necessarily poaching, people pay to legally hunt game that's either over-populated or are extremely aggressive and in return that money, huge amounts, goes toward stopping actual poachers and saves a lot more animals than it kills.
Could very well be. Considering it's Africa and that gun may have been supplied by the guide it could be a Weatherby or even Mauser. But Winchesters are also popular on the Dark Continent.
Wonder what the fact we're more interested in the gun than the giraffe says about us?
Zoos kill them to feed predator cats when they have too many. One felled Zebra feeds some of those tribes for a week and a giraffe for a fortnight. I kill chickens, turkeys, squirrels, feral pigs and deer to feed my family. I buy half pigs and quarter cows that go from farm to butcher to my freezer. I am tired of the righteous indignation over where some people get their food. These citiots need to realize that cute and cuddly does not save you from your righteous spot next to the noodles and carrots on my dinner plate. Your savage pun made me chuckle though.
Og- have you ever hunted Africa? There are areas where sporthunters leave with their trophy and a small amount of meat and the rest of the meat goes to the guides. Who fucking cares what the original intent was as long as the animal is consumed or utilized. Hunting happens whether or not it offends your sensibilities.
Bull shit savages are savages in America they use guns in Africa they use machetes you can make all the excuses you want but its pretty simple you either kill each other or you don't as for 100 years of turmoil what they were nice and peaceful before then? No they were savages killing each other before the white man came there. Remember when Scotland got free of England and then the Scots started killing each other? No because there not savages grow a brain before you start spewing such ignorance king_me as for this pic being pre-colonial if he was pre-colonial he would eat the giraffe Sorry forgot to spellchecker and I know it confuses all the small brained people they just can't figure out what it all means with bad spelling so I fixed it
You guys are dumb giraffes have lead to incredible amounts of lions dying and are becoming to populated for the area. These people pay money that goes to stopping real poacher to be able to hunt.
ya the top one killed a giraffe the bottom one will rob your house rape your wife and kill you with a machete look up farmers killed in south Africa so don't be bringing this bull shit how there civilized the bunch of savages they try to pull this crap with the native americans to what a load of shit.
South Africa has undergone immense political and social turmoil in the past 100 years spurning from racism and the rejection of colonization of the lands ny foreigners. You don't understand the situation there because you've never experienced it. Yes, the country has its problems but every country has problems. So before you begin spouting such vile comments please think about what you're saying.
Also, this pic refers to pre-colonial era natives. Those who lived solely off nature and not those who became victims of colonial and racial oppression that led to their dependence on a modern lifestyle. Ideally if they were never colonialised then there would be no victims of these crimes nor any perpetrators, however the past is set.
