With respect that is an emotional response not a realistic one. Hunting is a legal sport. I am simply defending someone's legal rights, which quite frankly in the scheme of things is more important. I am not saying that I condone what the hunter did, I am saying he is legally entitled to do what he did. If that is to change, then campaign for it to be made illegal. Don't attack me for defending someone's legal rights

..just to add to what bitontheslide has said and also touching on what Niamh said about instilling huge fines to preserve species...the governments have already 'offered bids' to hunters for these killings because sadly they are legal and a large part of that is meant to go to the National Parks anyway to help with conversation...(ironic and I would doubt that it does go there with corruption etc..although it may do because National Park Rangers do guide the hunts)....so they can't really then instil huge fines for something that they're not only taken payment for but offered themselves ...the whole thing just sickens me, that someone would actually want to do these things to beautiful animals ...but then there are people enabling them as well....so as bitonthe slide said, the only way will ever be to campaign to make it illegal...
