Quote HistoryQuoted: Good. It's not like the elephantine population in Africa has declined drastically over the last century or anything. Professional hunters are not the cause of a declining population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant Population estimates and poaching During the 20th century, poaching significantly reduced the population of Loxodonta in some regions. The World Wildlife Foundation believes there were between 3 and 5 million African elephants as recently as the 1930s and 1940s.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant#cite_note-41][41][/url] Between 1980 and 1990 the population of African elephants was more than halved, from 1.3 million to around 600,000.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant#cite_note-42][42][/url][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant#cite_note-43][43][/url] Between 1973 and 1989, the African elephant population of Kenya declined by 85%.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant#cite_note-Status-2002-10][10][/url] In Chad, the population declined from 400,000 in 1970 to about 10,000 in 2006. The population in the Tanzanian Selous Game Reserve, once the largest of any reserve in the world, dropped from 109,000 in 1976 to 13,000 in 2013.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephant#cite_note-IvoryCurse-44][44][/url] That's only a small excerpt, please read the whole thing. |

These threads call out all the folks who spend too much time watching Disney. Shoot a deer, shoot a hog, shoot an elephant...they're all animals. As long as it's humane and legal, then there's no difference.
For all the people crying about the hunter not eating the meat, then do you say it's wrong to hunt coyotes (because I don't know of anyone who eats coyote), As others have pointed out, the locals do eat animals taken on safari, so doesn't that make the elephant hunter more noble than the coyote hunter. Maybe it's just to be a noble hunter, a person must eat what they kill. So I guess when I take a deer and donate it to Hunter's for the Hungry I'm a scum of the earth hunter. |

Everybody is happy and gainfully employed (except the butthurt PETA types that can't understand how things beyond their neighborhood works) that's an extremely romanticized version. the opposing version, which is supported by empirical research, works more like this: >deer in idaho destroying crops because too many deer. >japanese tourists pay lots of money to the EPA for hunting privileges. >EPA prohibits idaho residents from killing deer. if an idahoan kills a deer that is destroying his crops, he goes to federal prison. >japanese dude hires a dozen or so local guides/porters, out of the thousands and thousands of idahoans. >guides have to give kickbacks to the EPA in exchange for this privilege. >rich japanese dude pays tons of money along the way, mostly to corrupt government officials. shoots deer. >guy kills deer. locals eat whatever he doesn't want. >EPA officials, police chief, and game warden are really happy because lots of baksheesh. a dozen locals make a little bit of money. >the rest of idaho gets fucked. now, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but your rose-colored glasses are showing. |

Facts are irrelevant. The people going on about "good stomping" aren't basing their opinion on facts but emotion. Funny how if someone makes a pure emotional call to ban guns they are a "stupid libtard", but make an emotional decision that one type of hunting is "bad" and it's okay.

Dear bleeding hearts in this thread:
Elephant hunting is one of the bigger incentives for the locals TO PROTECT THE ELEPHANTS RATHER THAN POACH THEM OR EAT THEM. African countries that do not hunt elephants have suffered steep declines in populations. The unintended consequenses of not hunting elephants is they die from out of control poaching. |

Wow. I had no idea arfcom had this many complete fucktards. No fucking idea of how big game hunting works. PETA Puffers without a clue.
OP sensationalized an event by making up a bullshit tag line. Not exactly what happened. Young Bull Elephants are not targeted by experienced PH's. There is a reason the Client was left with the trackers and not standing next to the PH when this happened. The PH was most likely trying to get closer to check both the size and age of the Elephant they were tracking and look for others that may be close by. A guy as experienced as that PH knew that particular Elephant was all wound up and did not want a bunch of inexperienced people getting to close until he sized up the situation, |

They are not reading your explanation, they don't get the concept of paid hunts in Africa. It was probably a real old or nuisance animal on top of it. Locals kill and eat fine Hunter kills village eats, he pays a ton of cash that goes to conservation and local economy, like trackers, lodge employees, etc. Stop thinking like PETA and start thinking logic. I don't even hunt and I get the concept, fucking guys...muh feels... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Good. I've killed more deer and squirrels than I can count and eat everything I kill. These people that go to Africa to kill animals just for the fuck of it can choke themselves. Nope They are not reading your explanation, they don't get the concept of paid hunts in Africa. It was probably a real old or nuisance animal on top of it. Locals kill and eat fine Hunter kills village eats, he pays a ton of cash that goes to conservation and local economy, like trackers, lodge employees, etc. Stop thinking like PETA and start thinking logic.

If I could buy an elephant a beer  Why does a person with your screen name want to celebrate the death of another hunter? I'm betting that he sees hogs as vermin and food and sees elephants as wise cartoon characters who need a hug. Good call! Typical moon bat liberal logic! Kill rats but save the deers! Deer lives matter. i wouldnt even try to figure him out. it seems like gd is full of morans these days. |

The only happy ending that's possible with an elephant hunt. Hope more scumbags like him get stomped. the only happy ending that more scumbags like you get banned. i can only hope you get stomped by the ban hammer. we dont need liberal trolls here in gd. guys like him are the only reason elephants are not extinct. if these hunts were not big money poachers and hungry africans would have killed every elephant by now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The hunter sometimes becomes the hunted. I thought this was somewhat of the thrill of hunting dangerous game. Yeah, it's a big part of the point, although the sympathies should always be with the person and not the animal when things go wrong (unless the hunter was just being a moron, which happens). I never understood the people who think a wild animal is more valuable than a person. It's a disgusting mentality, but it's always on display in these types of threads, despite the nature of this forum. |

Peter Capstick, professional hunter and author, described some of the inventive ways elephants kill people. Poke and knead was a very effective method. Do you recall the tale of the man eating Elephant |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Honestly, I can think of worse ways to die. Like in your own poop in a nursing home. Better to die doing something you love. No kidding. For that matter, if I was an elephant, I 'm thinking that a .375 through the skull as you are wandering the plains in your late prime is probably one of the better deaths Africa has to offer. |

I don't have anything against elephants; but one of these days I'm going to quad-.50 Dumbo in mid-air and video tape it just to see all the weenies in GD wail.

People who hunt dangerous game or drive 200 mph are looking for an adrenaline rush. Why is there an adrenaline rush? Because you might die at any time. So why should anyone be surprised when it happens, and why is it even news?

Yep Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Dear bleeding hearts in this thread: Elephant hunting is one of the bigger incentives for the locals TO PROTECT THE ELEPHANTS RATHER THAN POACH THEM OR EAT THEM. African countries that do not hunt elephants have suffered steep declines in populations. The unintended consequenses of not hunting elephants is they die from out of control poaching. Yep +87 This is the kind of thread where Arfcom really could use more 'Fudds'. The LACK of knowledge being so freely shared would be hilarious, if it weren't so pathetic. |
