    Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn’t. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn’t ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they’re are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.

      Hunting isn’t always a bad thing, in fact it can be a huge part of keeping healthy populations of animals, just read an article in the Audabon magazine last night that talked about snow geese and how their numbers have increased to the point they are destroying their environment and that even increasing hunting numbers at this point hasn’t made a dent. Many big game animal hunting can be great for the area they are in, so long as it’s done responsibly and reasonably. And most hunters know the risks, it’s part of the hunt. There are few that don’t, and most are in favor of wildlife management so they can continue this in the future.

          Another one here. I’ve never gone out in the field unless I plan on cooking what I bring back. If I fight nature and nature wins…so it is.

              I vote for nature to take care of city dwellers who buy their food instead of gather and grow it themselves like we do. Those who pave over nature for a new strip mall or condos. They’re a huge strain on the earth with their plastic shit and need for new all the time. Not to mention the masses of viable farmland that are consumed for building.

              Yet we are the ones who are hated on and reviled. People are fucked.

                Oh, you think all the millions of people in cities would be able to do what you think they should do? Millions of people just disperse through the wilds and hunt and forage and grow a little plot of food?

                    It was a question, seeking clarification, as you seem to think, based on what you wrote, that “city dwellers” should just up and die because they don’t do what you do? So, I was wondering how you think that would work exactly.

      I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I fear know something glorious has happened

          You’re just salty that Dumbledore got to help rid the world of that evil ring while others flew around in their Iron Man suits!

            I never saw Harry Potter but I know that’s where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.

      As long as they don’t go ill the animal later anyway. Big cats that kill peoples seem to get table down and killed in most stories I hear.
