Trophy hunting in Namibia

Glowing

I was watching that docu on the t.v today with Jack Osborne travelling in Namibia, so I decided to read more about the country on the internet.

I then came across this: http://www.trophyhuntafrica.com/namibia.html

Is this the most disgusting thing you have ever seen? People paying dirty money to go a shoot some of the most beautiful animals in Africa, and endangered ones at that. The thought of it is making my blood boil. Then they have the nerve to have their picture taken with their 'trophy' - disgusting.

That's pretty sad alright.

I've got a great idea for a safari hunt, set the owners of this company (and their idiot clients) loose and hunt them down

It is not just Namibia that they do it its also closer to home in Russia and more countries as well.

They have found that the tourist who watch animals (without killing them) can bring money into the country and also the ecosystem is not destroyed by killing the natural predator ie lion.

It happens the world over - there is big money in illegial hunting
