Trump son on safari kills variety of wildlife...

[VinceFox]

Has anyone else seen this? Just read an article showing one of Donald Trumps sons holding a variety of wlidlife he butchered in africa.

[BruceV8]

And?

[Rollin]

The horror...

[carmonk]

Pity he didn't start with that furry abortion on his dad's head.

[Pesty]

point?

[swiftpete]

Did he butcher it or shoot it?

[eharding]

Hmmmm.....OP is "VinceFox"

Have you been out mugging civil servants for garlic bread recently?

Somebody fetch a pack of beagles. I fear we may have a ringer in our midst.

Your Donald Trump's son. You're worth a fortune. You could do any number of amazing things and you choose to stand there holding up the carcasses of a variety of wildlife that you then use the thinnest of excuses (we gave the meat to the locals) to justify it.

'Scuse me, i'm just off to watch President Obama's whitehouse correspondants speech again.

And? I'm still not getting your point.

[Pesty]

Are you suggesting he did something illegal?

Still not sure what your problem is. If you are against hunting just say so.

are you sure whatever he shot would not have been shot anyway in order to keep the population down?

Just what is it that you object to so much.

Then with respect, i doubt you ever will. Looks like this is one of those agree to disagree threads.

[Pesty]

We never will unless you tell us or are we just supposed to guess?

[BruceV8]

What Pesty said.

I guess you don't like hunting. Thats fine by me. I wouldn't want to force you to go hunting.

I object massively to an animal being killed for sport. Simple enough for you?

I've heard all the arguments, many, many times but fundamentally i find the idea repulsive. I appreciate there is now going to be a massive clamour for man points at my expense, but that's my view. Enjoy.

He hasn't got one...he only has a position. Namely, prancing up and down on what he perceives to be the moral high ground, although his location is what I perceive to be smack bang in the middle of Right-On-2@ Boulevard.

All down to perception.

You know less than fk all about me mate. Perceive away, that's your position, after all.

Not my thing either. I wouldnt want to do it myself but I am not going to berate somebody who does.


For a start I am not a vegitarian so to do so would make me a hypocritt and for another thing you have not posted any information about it.

Some wildlife has to be culled when the herds get too big. Whatever he shot may have been shot anyway by somebody else.

[carmonk]

What did he shoot?

Thats lovely. No manpoint scoring here. If you've heard all of the logical arguments but still feel the way you do there's clearly nothing I can say here that will change your mind.

Doesn't make for much of a discussion on a discussion forum, though, does it?

Population control is an unfortunate necessity. I've lived in the countryside for forty years and work closely with wildlife trusts and even i accept that. Perhaps go and look at the pics of the hunt in question and make your own mind up, but it seemed in pretty poor taste to me, especially when he then attempted to justify his position as being driven purely from a desire to help the local economy.

Like you say, just not my thing.
