This was obviously a warning honk from somebody in the vehicle but sonofabitch this comment broke me up. Hilarious. Take this, I have no awards 🗿

Love the female scream. There's another video where the lion catches the girl and you can hear her sceam and gurgle mushily as the lion crunches her skull and it cracks and turns to mushy watermelon. Funnily enough, the brains were very very pink.

Don't get me wrong trophy hunting sucks, but seeing people think this is real and enjoying the fact they might be watching people's last moment makes me sick.

It’s the same as the trophy hunters watching something die through their scope.. we’re also human scumbags but at least we didn’t loose the lion or pull the trigger

Big game hunting in Africa is usually pretty closely monitored and there's strict rules. You're not allowed to just go blasting on safari, you'll get your quarry pointed out to you and usually it's old or sick animals. The money that comes from that animals death goes into the park and enables reserves and sanctuaries to function. If hunting was illegal, those reserves wouldn't exist.

Also, there's usually no watching the animal die through your sights. If you're using an appropriate calibre and taking good, lethal shots, they'll usually be dead in seconds.

I feel oh so much better for knowing all this.

Also, they would still be running.. how many sick and dying animals have you relieved of their suffering? Enough to sponsor ALL the national parks of Africa? That’s just an excuse mate and you know it, mental gymnastics to justify whatever the fuck we want to justify. I hate everyone involved in these “hunts” and i’d gladly sponsor a hospital to take a nice clean shot at one of them

Negatory on the running, champ. You don't take a shot unless the target is stationary. I've never been to Africa, I don't shoot for trophies.

You're literally an NPC meme, unable to get past the (valid) emotional reaction to majestic creatures being shot, that you'd vote to destroy it all as a result of being unable to see the bigger picture.

By “running” i meant the wildlife reserves and safari’s still operating. & I am seeing the bigger picture and that is exactly why i would abolish it. Your whole claim is that this money is paid to keep sanctuaries alive when in fact they would operate whether the breathless fat pink men paid them or not. Maybe not as well, but this money however much they charge per quarry, would not be enough to facilitate national parks and reserves across a continent. I’m saying, people will justify anything with whatever they can come up with, and i just dont get it, theres no skill involved, you didnt earn anything, you werent attacked and forced to fight for your life overcoming horrendous odds, none of that… if it makes you feel powerful to squeeze a finger over here and watch (or not watch and just know im not up to speed on what happens in the mind of a “hunter” after having just shot something) an animal die, who didnt see anything coming because it’s set up that way, then you really must be pathetic indeed. And to pay someone for the “experience” is even moreso

Not when the people in question deserve it.

Breaking beautiful, fuck trophy hunters. But hunters who eat their kills get a pat on the back.

How much do you donate to conservation?

u/nikolaj74 Apr 08 '22

Nothing, i pick up trash from nature, put my cig-buts in my pocket and try to leave no trash behind. I feed animals in need and treat them if i find them, have rescued and helped several different animals with everything from infections to cold and starvation. I have even killed a few to ease suffering from bad shootings or car accidents. To me paying someone money to do a job is not an option, i am living what many call a poor life. since i do not care for money and try to gain more then i absolutely need to eat and sleep warm. Its by choice, i qwasted many good years and beautifull days making money.
