Elephant are very destructive to their environment. Cropping is essential for their well being as well as raising the necessary money through licenses to purchase additional land. [/quote] So people fly to Africa to kill elephants because they are concerned about the elephants destructiveness? [/quote] No. Hunters hunt. If you have the money, and there's a surplus, maintain the population. Hunters are some of the best resource managers. All part of being close to nature. [/quote] I guess I just don't understand why shooting a giraff is fun. [/quote] I don't see any fun in shooting a giraffe either, but they have been used to feed the locals, which believe it or not, in most districts, are protein starved. [/quote]
Original Message
I have nothing against hunting. I think it is a great outdoor activity. I think it is beyond stupid to shoot an elephant. Why do that?
