Trump's Sons Under Investigation for African Hunting Trip

I don't understand how that would be their fault.

Sorry, they are still a couple of bored rich brats to me. How someone gets a thrill out of gunning down an animal as a "trophy kill" is beyond me. If you need it to live, fine. For the fun of taking a beautiful animal and killing it simply because that kind of thing gets your rocks off, ew. Isn't there something worthwhile left to do in the world ? You have all that money at your disposal and you choose to go murder some animals. Wacked.

Are there still cannibal tribes out there somewhere? Would it be okay to go out to one of those tribes and eat people and shrink their heads because it's what the tribe has done all their lives and it's their culture?

Or would that be wrong, just because it's humans instead of animals?

So because they are rich and spolied, and you don't morally agree with hunting, that means it is okay to write misleading headlines about them?
I'm just trying to understand your POV. I get the fact that you don't agree with hunting but is your post in response to the fact that the Trump brothers don't really have anything to do with the registering of Hunting Legends or you just wanted to chime in on the fact that they did this hunt in the first place

What headline? All I needed to see were the photos of the two of them grinning like idiots as one held the dead leopard and the one where the other one is holding the elephant's severed, bloody tail in his hands. Those right there formed my opinon.

The one that was just posted to resurrect the thread. Obviously that isn't what you were talking about, so thanks for clarifying.

Some people go to Disney, some people go hunting. For me, hunting is a part of my heritage and culture. I will kill an animal IF I intend to consume that animal. That's why I don't duck hunt. I don't like duck meat.

For those that write hunters off a barbarians who "get their rocks off murdering animals", you need to educate yourself. Hunters and fishermen/women are the true conservationists. If you think the animals don't have a fair chance, then you don't understand fair chase.

So, when society breaksdown and there is nothing to eat in the stores, I WILL be able to provide for my family. I know how to track, pattern, and kill an animal. I know how to process the meat for the greatest yield.

I'm educated just fine, thanks. They hunted those animals for "sport" not food. Last time you ate leopard was when? As I stated before, hunting for food is one thing, hunting to get your rocks off is another.

I don't have a problem with what they did. I find neither immoral or unethical.

Not food for themselves, but the meat was eaten by local tribes. Many people eat large cats. In fact the president of California's Fish and Game Commission is under fire for hunting and consuming a mountain lion in another state.

So the nation of Zimbabwe got an influx of Trump money. The Trump's got to hunt. And the people of Zimbabwe were fed. I don't see the loser in this scenario. Before you say the animals are the losers consider this- what do you think is more humane for the elephant? A high power rifle used by a trained hunter or amateur weapons that locals might use to feed themselves? I'll take a bullet to the brain over a sharp pointy stick any day of the week!

I don't assume the elephant would lose. Elephants are large, smart and know how to step on people - you can view more than one video of captive elephants had enough of their circus environs and trainers on youtube.

So.. yeah, the animals were the losers. Maybe, potentially, at some point in the future, they could theoretically have been killed some other way. I don't think that means it's ok to shoot them now, personally.

So I guess that starving to death in a slow and agonizing manner is much better than a quick death from a .338 Win Mag? Without an ample amount of their natural predators in place, the one and only way to control the population is through hunting. Without controlling the population, the animals would consume the available forage in the area in a short time, exhausting their food supply. The species as a while would then be in danger of extinction, or at the minimum a massive population reduction in a horrible way.

Malnourished game animals yield less edible meat, are more succeptible to disease, and are less likely to produce healthy offspring, which further puts the species at risk.

I hunt and fish. I have no desire to hunt in Africa as I do not want to consume an elephant or a cape buffalo or an eland. I do not have any issue with those that do as long as the animal is consumed. Any ETHICAL hunter makes the meat the priority. In many western states, it is the law that all useable meat must be packed out before the cape and antlers.

There is no excess in the population of elephants on this planet. Quite the contrary. Guess why.

Really? The leopard he was hauling didn't look like it had missed any meals, and there truly isn't an overabundance of elephants there...try again.

I'll also agree with OP, in my honest opinion, they are a couple of morons pissing away good money to murder innocent animals for fun.

Ooopsie Trumpnuts, you maaaay be in trouble...and lying. BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

http://www.pilotafrica.com/2012/03/...-investigated-over-hunting-spree-in-zimbabwe/

Now, I have no idea how reliable the source is, but TMZ and several other places are reporting this. It seems like their paperwork may not have been in order, the green kind. Also, they are stating in this report that "conservation" and the "feeding of villagers" are two bogus claims.

It'll be interesting to see where this goes, I hope they get hung up by their ****s. Oh, and it doesn't seem like the Donald much likes their hobby either.

According to Zimbabwe's parks authority, their hunt was completely legal. There is also some info about where the meat went in the 2nd statement

I grew up in a family where hunting was part of or lives,and some years the only way we all stayed fed. We would have likely gone hungry if not for the deer in the freezer. I see nothing wrong with hunting for food. It is no different than gonig to the gorcery for ground beef, just a whole lot cheaper and less processed, plus it is vital in maintaining the health of our natural resources where humans and animals share space.

The land my family hunted was designated a s aland managment track. The fish and game service came in a tracked the deer population. They set the numbers that MUST be killed to maintian a healthy population. That is right, the scientists at land management told us how many deer HAD to be take n by hunters to keep the population healthy. If the hunters that managed the land didn't kill enough deer, they lost thier right to manage the land.

I don't think many people realize it, but land managment hunting is actually NECESSARY in populated areas to maintian a healthy population of animals. Natural predators have been all but eliminated in many areas becuase people have moved in and pocketed off sections of forseted land in between communities, even in ares that are still pretty rural. Human population disrupts natural patterns for wildlife. If the prey species are not thinned, disease and starvation will follow. You can thank deer hunters in the US for keeping lime disease under control for one. If big game hunters are truly land managment hunting, and what they kill is being consumed, I don't see a problem. Killing and animal just for a trophy, not so much.

I totally agree with you. There is a first time for everything, yes?
