Can we hunt him using an Apache?
Discussion
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Crocodiles are thought to have eaten a South African hunter after human remains were found inside two animals. Scott van Zyl disappeared last week after he went on a hunting safari in Zimbabwe.

The SS Pro Safaris website, owned by Mr van Zyl, states the company "has conducted numerous safaris" throughout Southern Africa. These include "elephants in Botswana to the smallest blue duiker in KwaZulu Natal".
It goes on to list buffalo, rhino, lions, leopards and antelopes as targets for hunts.

Very good post.
I just don't get the mindset of somebody who wants to put an arrow into an iconic wild beast. If the ends justify the means as you've eloquently described that's great, but it doesn't change my mindset concerning the American dentist and his ilk.
Look at the picture of our dentist friend holding up a dead leopard in the OP's article. It is just ego. I just don't get the mindset of somebody who wants to put an arrow into an iconic wild beast. If the ends justify the means as you've eloquently described that's great, but it doesn't change my mindset concerning the American dentist and his ilk.
The comedy aspect of course is that pitted 1v1 against that leopard in an open space, it would be feasting on his micropenis.

Journalist desperately trying to spin this into a story. When you read past the story's hype to the facts it's reporting, what's actually left? A lion that fit the profile to be culled has been culled. Someone paid a lot of money to pull the trigger. The money has gone to the nature reserve. So what's the problem? Where's the story?Hey, kids. Let's see if we can identify the hunter and victimise him?! Because we're f

I'd say anyone who supports someone who kills animals just for fun is pea brained.
It's the classic scenario repeated...We in the west demand that these countries maintain their wild areas with deadly creatures et al.
Wild creatures don't actually pay anyone to buy food, clothes, education.
Locals organise a business, brutal in nature, to fund this preservation.
We in the west are outraged at the brutality that takes place in the true wilds.
For me, it's the lesser of two evils. The other evil being the replacement of these wild areas with profitable adventures...
Another similar case, poor giraffe.
Tess Thompson Talley, a 37-year-old woman from Kentucky, is facing backlash after shooting and killing an elderly male giraffe on a hunting trip in South Africa. The trip took place last summer, but a photo of Talley posing with the animal’s body has recently gone viral on social media, sourced from a Facebook post she made last year that has since been deleted. It read: “Prayers for my once in a lifetime dream hunt came true today! Spotted this rare black giraffe bull and stalked him
Her response.....
An American hunter is pushing back against her critics, after photos of her next to a giraffe she killed in South Africa triggered outrage. Tess Thompson Talley told CBS News in a statement she killed the old bull giraffe to prevent it from attacking younger giraffes. She said, "This is called conservation through game management."

Oh, there's a beautiful, rare animal.

EDIT: where's that Apache?
In fairness they’re really not rare, in fact they are farmed in some parts. I have no issue so long as the animal doesn’t go to waste, if the meat is consumed I see it as no different from hunting deer and selling the venison. Giraffe are one of my favourite animals and I’d really rather they weren’t shot for fun by dim witted yanks but the money that the governments of countries which allow hunting get from these dim wits fund their conservation efforts and as such it’s a bit of a necessary evil. I know, let's kill it.

It would be hypocritical of me to slate this woman for the actual act of killing the giraffe when in May I was sat in Namibia eating Gemsbok and Ostrich and probably a load of other things in Biltong form. The only vile thing about all this is that she really enjoys killing things, that’s not something that should be celebrated.

Giraffes are classed as "Vulnerable", which is one step away from "Endangered".
Where are they being farmed? I've never heard of farmed Giraffe.
Namibia. Farmed is probably the wrong word but it’s the one chosen by my tour guide when I was there. Big tracts of land owned by private individuals where animals are allowed to breed and then be sold to reserves or for hunting, I guess that could be described as a farm.Where are they being farmed? I've never heard of farmed Giraffe.
Giraffe as a whole yes. In Southern Africa their populations are growing.
In Southern Africa, G. c. angolensis has increased from an historic estimate of 5,000 individuals to the current estimate of 13,031 individuals (+161%, Marais et al. 2016). Giraffa c. giraffa has increased from an historic estimate of 8,000 individuals to the current estimate of over 21,387 individuals (+167%, Deacon et al. 2016). The population resident in the north eastern Namibia, northern Botswana, northwestern Zambia and northwestern and central Zimbabwe are of uncertain taxonomic status and are considered as Giraffa c. angolensis for this report, and are estimated to have increased from approximately 10,000 historically to the current estimate of 17,551 (J. Fennessy, unpubl. d)
