          For a moment he felt good about this. A moment or two later he felt bad about feeling good about it. Then he felt good about feeling bad about feeling good about it and, satisfied, drove on into the night.

    The fact that this hunting tourism exists is more than infuriating. When people die it cannot be mildly infuriating; even when a-holes kick the bucket. So why is this story here? Which bit is only mildly infuriating?

    I hope the elephants are alright.

      Hunting tourism is conservation. This wasn’t a dude rolling with poachers, he paid conservationists to do something they would have done anyway.

      He also wasn’t hunting elephants

        Hunting is part of conservation efforts. Hunting tourism is not necessary. Rich assholes flying around the world in private jets just at that they can shoot at a different type of animal than at home is questionable.

        And I know they weren’t hunting elephants. It’s just if I were charged by a herd of elephants and I happened to hold a rifle in my hand, I’d probably be tempted to make use of it in self defense. And the animals could have hurt themselves while acting in self defense from their POV as well.

          Those rich assholes are funding conservation efforts.

            I get it, you’re okay with it. And I would allow then to continue funding it if their environmental conscience demanded it. And if they sailed there or even flew economy I’d still allow them to pull a trigger themselves. But I think overall this idea that rich and most likely Caucasian asshole money is required to keep conservation projects in Africa going smacks of a school of post colonial thinking that I don’t subscribe to. Africans are not solely motivated by asshole money to preserve their ecosystems.

      OMG Agreed!

      It blows my mind how much of it there is. Elk hunting in northern America, charter fishing all over the world, hunting cabin rentals are everywhere.

      This “friend” of mine got all indignant when he asked me to go fishing and i told him i don’t like to kill things for fun. His retort, you like to eat don’t you? Mutherfucker you don’t fish or hunt for food, you hunt for fun. That you might eat some of the catch aint got fuck all to do with it.

        Native Americans are the last ones on american soil who hunt to ear, respecting the animal enough to use all of it. Everyone after that consider it “sport”.

        Actually that’s a great way to call it. Did you get your gear from the sporting store? Then you consider it sport.

            That’s not at all want we’re talking about. We’re talking about going out as an individual if the claim that it’s to eat is valid or if they’re covering wanting to hunt for sport.

    It would only be mildly infuriating if he really was a “millionaire hunter.” We need more of those.
