Culling and animal control aren't what we're talking about.
I watched a great TV programme about hunting in Africa. Filmed secretly, obviously. It showed one male (I ucan't use the word 'man' for these people)who tied a cheetah to a tree with a very short harness. Then, from about thirty feet away, another male - a fat, useless, dickless rich one, shot at it. He clipped her back leg with the first shot and she leapt up in the air trying desperately to get out of the harness. The second shot caught her in the face, taking off part of her nose. Now I'm thinking about this, I can remember the terrible noise the animal made when part of its face was shot off. The third shot caught her in the body and it took her around thirty seconds of desperately fighting to breathe through shot-peppered lungs before she finally died. The fat, useless, dickless male was well pleased with his disgusting self, although he probably changed a few of the details of the story when he recounted it to his fat, useless, dickless friends.
Yes... it's a noble sport all right.
