What is your opinion on trophy hunting as a whole? The sporting concept of going out and hunting animals and sporting their carcasses as trophies?
Have you ever done it? Do you think it's deplorable or do you not care at all? Might put a poll up after the forum closes for maintenance ![]() |

to hunt an animal for sport is disgusting apart from fishing, in which you put the fish back.

Hunting animals for sport is obscene but hunting animals for food is OK.
But we don't need to hunt animals for food as we factory farm them and then slaughter them and them eat them and wear their dead skin. But as long as we don't hunt them for sport it's OK No hypocrisy there.....

Fox hunting, Badger baiting, dog fighting, hunting wild animals as trophies, no idea how anyone gets any enjoyment out of any of it.

I think I am unable to get truly angry with people who hunt the odd animal for sport whilst we slaughter millions upon millions of animals everyday under the moral legitimacy of needing meat for food to survive.

Listen before people think I'm one of the rainbow children or something I didn't make this topic because I am totally against killing and eating of animal flesh cos I'm not.
This is more about taking a rifle and popping out to the desert or jungle or whatever to pop off whatever giant menacing looking animal you can find from a safe distance then take it's head like your the creature from predator or something and pose for a picture with a great big beaming smile on your face. Like that South African tv presenter woman who was in the news a few months back. |

Tbh I would be less against it if the people insisted on fighting the beasts more fairly. At least I can understand them to a degree, the sense of danger, achievement in tackling one of natures big beasts with nothing but a letter opener and a bottle of febreeze but seriously where's the sport in taking a rifle and popping them off from the top of a tree. |

Now that's an idea. Way better than my 'put snakes in the big brother house when everyone's asleep' idea.

I think you have to be really strange to get a kick out of killing something for "sport". I am totally against blood sports of any kind.

Hunting just for a trophy is wrong.
The same as killing elephants/ rhino for their tusks. When it comes to little cute furry animals like rabbits then I have a different outlook. Hunting rabbit for the pot is fine, it is food. Farm animals are bred purely for food, leather, wool etc. if they had no use they would probably not still exist. |

Where's the sport in shooting something from hundreds of metres away with a high-powered rifle and massive scope? I think the worst thing for me are the places in Africa where they tether an animal to a tree and let some dickless, gutless excuse for a human being shoot it at close range. I don't want to go into details... but I watched a programme about it on telly and the sound the animal made as it was wounded a couple of times before it was killed haunts me still.

I'd argue it's almost cowardly. Your relying on a weapon that puts you at such a significant advantage you might as well be shooting tins of beans off a wall. it's no more dangerous.
If you seriously want to have any sort of legitimacy as a 'hunter' go out and fashion a spear out of whatever materials you can find out in the wild and take them on like the earlier hominids had to. |
