It's not the killing it's the chase and being self sustaining and using what I harvest.Those still have to be killed... Like I said I would rather do that myself, than pay someone else to do by buying it in a store.No really don't... Store bought meat is too full of steroids and hormones for my liking. The feed lots use these put weight on the stock.you don't get your food in the supermarket?
why don't you become a semi-vegetarian like me?
I only eat fish and seafood and chicken
why do you like killing so much Rustic?
Like said it is one of the great joys in my life.
My culture has been doing it for centuries and it's still the same, plus you can't beat fresh venison.
I love animals, but this is insanity! Cull the herd of lions, they are NOT endangered! Beside SAVE the lives of other LESS HOSTILE animals!
You pitiful fool, you obviously didn't read any of the OP. These lions are explicitly raised for "canned" hunts. You've heard of puppy mills - well, these are lion mills.
Lots of animals are bred for food for your table. You against that also?
Is a lion's life more valuable than that of a cow or a chicken?
Killing lions = bad
Killing unborn children = ok
Liberal logic on full display!!
Said the baby butchers... You can do better than that.It's animal cruelty - which is a predictor of human cruelty.

You really are a heartless little person, aren't you!
Your fake ancestors drove whole herds of buffalo off of cliffs,took what they wanted and left the rest to rot.
I think you should be paying reparations.
They had primitive weapons and were just trying to survive. They used meat and hides. White hide hunters just slaughtered them with buffalo rifles and let the meat rot in the sun. Stone age people used torches to drive animals over cliffs.
I think they shoulders allow hunting but only when the pack or herd or gaggle or pod population are healthy. For example we are overfishing our oceans. There should be so many deer elephants lions wolves tigers mountain lions pigs or bear that we need to kill a few. And you always eat the meat.The death of a beloved lion named Cecil, at the hands of an American hunter in Zimbabwe, struck a nerve around the globe. The debate about the ethics of that hunt still provokes strong emotions. On Wednesday, October 7th, MSNBC will focus on another side of the industry, the legal side. Blood Lions, a one hour documentary, takes viewers inside the seldom seen world of the “canned hunting” industry in South Africa.
With the help of Ian Michler, safari operator and environmental journalist and Rick Swazey, an American hunter, viewers will see inside the breeding farms where lions are bred for a variety of exploitative revenue streams.
“Our film is an exposé,” says Blood Lions director Bruce Young, “most of the lions exist in appalling conditions, exploited at every stage of their lives. Even the people in South Africa do not know that lions are being bred for the bullet – and that it is totally legal. We want to show the world what is going on, who is involved, the impact on the animals and how much money is being generated by this industry.”
Also known as captive bred lion hunting, canned hunts allow hunters to select their lion ahead of time and complete a hunt in a matter of just three days. Canned hunts provide a cheaper, faster, and a surefire way of hunting predatory animals, compared to wild lion hunts which may last weeks with a much lower probability of success. Americans are largely fueling the industry, with 62% of the trophies being imported into the United States, according to Humane Society International.
The documentary includes the perspective of both proponents of this practice who say that hunting helps preserve Africa’s lion population and conservationists who are quick to dispute that claim.
Catch the premiere of Blood Lions, Wednesday October 7th at 10pm ET on MSNBC.

Blood Lions™ - A Call to Stop Canned Lion Hunting
Canned hunting is very dishonorable to the hunter and to the prey. Actually, canned hunting is not hunting - it's just killing, much like in a slaughterhouse.
Time to outlaw killing all big cats and rare animals.
Look up how trophy hunting helps any given game species. Safari club international is a good start.I am not a leftward or a bleeding heart progressive
That doesn't mean that I don't love and care for all animal life!
Shame on all of you!
The animals have to be culled in order to maintain a healthy population,and the money goes to further that cause.
Nope. Not even close. Read my posts earlier in the thread.
This is one of the lies told by pro-killing groups and hunters to make it seem like they're doing something good and worthwhile. Hunters kill the strongest and healthiest which weakens the gene pool and it contributes very little money to the overall economy.
Have you ever heard of a Boone and Crockett contest to kill the oldest and sickest? Have you looked at Rustic's trophy avi and his pictures? Even if he or others were willing to kill the weakest, do you really think they ask the animal for identification that proves his age?
As I said earlier, back in the Vietnam era we had a saying - Killing for peace [or conservation] is like fucking for chastity. Same with killing wild animals.
You really have to lighten up Francis, your emotions are getting the best of you...
Let's not let the foolishness of a bleeding hearts emotions replace facts...
Killing lions = bad
Killing unborn children = ok
Liberal logic on full display!!
Ever get sick of your bleeding heart??In your brain dead personal opinion, jack ass. And that is nada to any rational person.
Go fuck yourself.
humans dont need meat asshole. Have you ever watched what these animals go through to end up on your table? I think not because you only give a shit about yourself.
We evolved eating meat, stupid twit. Ever notice the canines in your mouth, dullard?
This always cracks me up.
Humans do not have long sharp carnivores' canines that are used to pierce and hold on to a prey animal. They have the grinding teeth, used to chew vegetable matter.
Strong saliva that starts the digestion while we chew. Carnivores tear off chunks and chew very little.
Long intestines to get the nutrition out of grasses and seeds as opposed to the short carnivore's in order to pass rotting meat quickly through the system. Eating meat and the long time it takes to process is why we have colon cancer.
Nuddly has a bleeding heart and a dysfunctional cerebral cortex.
. If there was no hunting, there would be no conservation of our wildlife. Trust me, the animals don't mind; they don't have the intelligence to mind.
Your bleeding heart is getting me all tear--eeee--eyed... It's legal.They breed and raise those lions in captivity, and they could never survive in the wild.
Among other things, they take the babies from their mothers when a few days old which causes the mother to go into estrus soon after. It wears out the females.
Deal with it... There are much greater tragedies in this world.
Who believes a bias edited, scripted reality Show anyway!!! ON MSNBC OF ALL THINGS??
The deaf dumb and blind "informing" the too stupid too breath.
Embrace the suck
Another con who thinks this has anything to do with conservation.I am not a leftward or a bleeding heart progressive
That doesn't mean that I don't love and care for all animal life!
Shame on all of you!
The animals have to be culled in order to maintain a healthy population,and the money goes to further that cause.
Another moron liberal who doesnt understand that animals need to be culled from time to time to prevent starvation and over predation of local wildlife.
500 canned hunting ranches in TX | Big Cat RescueI I hunt but I think canned hunting is a disgrace. Africans make a show of caring for wildlife but it seems that they are in it for the money. I think we should rethink capturing animals for display in zoos also.
Its a lie that canned hunts feed people, either directly or as a boost to their economy. As has been repeatedly pointed out, you can make a lot more money selling the opportunity to photograph the same animals thousands of time than you will make by putting him a small enclosure and killing him once.
Be aware that the US is as bad. Animals kept in the worst conditions, waiting for some bozo who has more cash than balls to want to prove what a big brave he-man his he is for shooting a tame animal.
In the US, the worst is in Texasss. There are now more tigers in cages in Texasss than free in their own habitat.
You got a link?
Keeping tigers in Texas is illegal.
Funny,I see no mention of lion hunts?
I used to have a couple of places right down the road from the YO.
I loved having them as a neighbor!!! Their stock would get loose occasionally and it's free game once it's outside their fence.
I shot some sweet animals thanks to them.
