American hunter faces outrage after taking photo with killed giraffe

[Fargo]

No need to justify anything. It's perfectly legal as well as beneficial to the conservation of the species and the local economy and provides food for the locals.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it in spite of the recreational outrage.

Mmmmmmm recreational outrage. Getting the giraffe burger hunger again...

I have no issue with the legality of the practice. If people want to do it, I'm not suggesting that they shouldn't be able to do it. The justification for doing it, comes from the SA government, not the hunters themselves, who IMO don't really care about the reasonings, as long as it's legal, and they can shoot something very few other people have a chance to.

Did you ever get to try it? Curiously it is, as I’ve had about every game in America but never anything from the African continent.

Given the opportunity, I would harvest a giraffe!

Nope, they were out and IIRC the prices were pretty salty.

Yeah, it's all about the kill.

Be interesting to see how much money the bunny hugging hippies spend on conservation?

Ever watch meat eater? That dude makes some **** I’m not sure I would try, and I’d try almost anything once. Cooks a coyote in one, with the fur still on it.

Sounds like a future INGO pitch in/ cookout

Greenpeace's budget, by itself, is well north $200M.

So is the internetz going to hunt her down and fry her like the lion doctor?

Heck, given the opportunity I would be tempted to bag that hunter!

I could imagine that such an adventure would be a rewarding hunt if carried out properly!

Spent on?(ships that get sunk?) And let’s not forget the 11% excise tax Americans pay on firearms that goes directly to conservation efforts here at home too.

I assume conservation.

Gre3npeace is a for profit business masquerading as a non-profit. They spend very little on actually helping. Some countries revoked their non-profit status because it was a sham.

I wouldn't know, so you informed me... but nevertheless, the profit they're taking in does come from conservation minded people that don't know any better. And in all honesty, it would not surprise me (no should it, you) if these hunting safaris, were lining plenty of pockets as well.

No. It doesn't.
It is an "activist" group.

It spends it's money on salaries, political donations, staged animal slaughter, advertisement, and other activities.. such as harassing whalers, military units, or whoever they feel like.

The second mistake is giving a poo about what anyone on social media thinks. The first is letting anyone post with your actual name and address on the interwebs.

I with you on this one!
