when trophy hunting will be gone what do you think will happen to plain hunting ... i hunt predators even eat some but i wont judge someone not eating them. in the case of the bears well prepared and if not fed from bad places they re great and i do think it is a waste to not use that meat but i wont judge others. do not make any mystake as for gun owning they start somewhere but the goal of anti is no more hunt ...
one of our cat is bringing i front of the entry a lot of mouse and not eating them at all ... but you have to watch it to get it about nature being so nice for the weaks lol
Animals don't just kill to eat. I wouldn't call it pleasure either. Just plain instinct - they kill their competitors, they kill things that run from them. Do you think there is any instinct left in humans? The urge to provide? Hunter gatherer?

Personally, I do tend to think that Trophy pics are a catalyst to controversy. But that's just the pics on Social Media...someone wants to trophy hunt with a conscience, let them.
When all you eat is Farm raised animals...you can speak about nature.
But if you buy meat in a Grocery store ( which we all do)...then STFU about nature, eh?

Because a large number of them don't. I'm not saying they all don't, but let's not pretend like these people don't exist.
It's inflammatory to say that I'm not against something even though I don't particularly feel the same way about it? Good Lord, what planet are you living on? Come back to Earth, please.
This meme is just full of nonsense. Murder is a legal term that applies to humans only. Do you know how a lot of trophy hunting in Africa works? Because it's not just pay X amount of dollars and go kill whatever animal of the species you want. They are targeting specific animals for specific purposes (old, sick, too aggressive, overpopulated, etc). And guess where the tens of thousands dollars that dentist spends on his quest to "murder" animals worldwide goes? Into the coffers of conservation.
You wanna know the most comical thing about the whole Cecil the Lion thing to me? Not the fact that the folk who talk about all life being sacred were threatening the life of another human (actually wanting to legitimately murder him in the literal sense of the term) over something that has zero effect, directly or indirectly, on them. It was that a short time later another lion was hunted and was purported to be Cecil's brother or whatever. Of course this outraged those who are easily outraged. But then it came out that it was actually just a random lion not related to Cecil. Guess what happened to the outrage? Disappeared like tears in rain. Take the time and ask yourself why that is.

Don’t try to move the goalposts. You said animals don’t kill for fun. Some predators do. It’s in their nature. Full stop.
I’m proud to be a trophy hunter, I’m proud to be raising children that will carry on the tradition.
Over the years I’ve contributed more in licence fees in relation to the number of animals harvested than any meat hunter I know. The money I spend in the local economy on gas and gear far eclipses that of a meat hunter. I once went 6 years without harvesting a deer while waiting to cross paths with the right trophy. If trophy hunting is just about killing, then how was I able to contain my blood-lust for that long?
Like all trophy hunters, I use the meat and sell the furs from my kills. Nothing is wasted.
Read a little conservation history. The reason African big game animals are doing so well is due to the $billions brought in from foreign hunters over the years. If not for big game hunter tourism money the locals would’ve wiped out all the African big cats years ago to make way for livestock.
Hunting is fun. Unfortunately the Disneyfied urban population have lost touch with reality when it comes to nature and death. It starts with banning trophy hunting, a term for which they can’t even provide a clear and consistent definition, and it soon moves on to banning all hunting and fishing. Trophy hunting in no way, shape, or form has any effect on your life. You should really try to find a better outlet for your manufactured outrage than fellow firearms enthusiasts. Just move on. You’ll be much happier for it.

Would love to help but I'm Albertan. But I think people miss the point when you right letters. It's mainly to make the constituents heard.
Whether or not you MLA is who you voted for, letting them know what the people think is what is supposed to sway there decision making. If all they get is letters saying "stop trophy hunting" that's what they will fight/vote for

Pretty much the whole point as to why I posted this.
Not so much for the dogfight that ensued, but rather a hope that some might actually get the message, write a letter or three, and try to make a difference for our side...

I literally quoted your post verbatim. If you don't want to be misinterpreted, then write adequately scripted post that are to the point.
Did you not read your own post? How is my reply about pushing a "narrative"? It's true, not stupid, hunters who are against other form of hunting that they personally don't like, are hypocrites and are the reason we keep losing opportunities. Who cares if someone doesn't eat what they shoot if it's 100% legal?
Who hurt you?

I predator hunt aswell but dont agree with trophy wolf hunts. I've shot 2 timber wolves but only because they were coming day after day for my dog. I dont think people should make trips just Tobag a wolf for pleasure

I think there should be balance. Theres people that shoot them just simply so they say they did and pleasure.

Why? If their legal why shouldn't someone who wants to go bag one? I wish more people out here would do that, we have way too many.

Yeah I agree with that. To keep balance.
I know an area that used to he full of wolves there hasn't been a single track in over 7 years.
Same with groundhogs, for control it's fun. But just shooting animals for pleasure with no bigger picture is disrespect and abuse of our wildlife.
I'd never be the one to put someone down or shame them based on my beliefs. I'm just sharing my thoughts
