>>4925016How does this compare to blasting an aging lion before it fucks off and leaves the preserve to eat people, so younger lions can begin breeding sooner and keep the population healthy while preventing excessive dispersal?Humans are infinitely valuable and animals are merely part of a system.

>>4925045The one who compared blasting a dumb animal to fund and facilitate conservation in the form of bog standard game management to paying to rape HUMAN orphans is calling other people hysterical idiots?African trophy hunting is infinitely better managed than north american big game raffles which allow the hunter to shoot any adult animal anywhere in the state they please. Compared to hunting in most of the world, these trophy hunts are extremely well planned culls combined with a sizable charitable donation organized by local ecologists.Because they fucking ARE. If all hunts were as regulated as trophy hunts, game populations would be absurdly healthy, instead of as low quality as north american deer.

>>4925160>you arent a vegan? You dont value a lamb as much as a person? YOU HATE ANIMULS GO AWAAAAAYAnimals are part of a system called nature. Maintaining this system ourselves is key to keeping it running without essentially banning human life.And part of this maintenance is culling aging megafauna to allow younger ones to breed without forcing populations to disperse into human territory. Mind you africa is an agricultural paradise with the majority of earth’s arable land and EVERY megafauna species is a pest there. Animals have no rights. None. All animal rights is based around ecology management and regulating human behavior (ie: pre-arresting and cataloguing people who are at risk of moving to human victims). Thats why you can go to jail for torturing a dog to death or raping a horse, but not for slaughtering a deer or engaging in legitimate artificial insemination. That’s why you can own a budgie but not an at-risk or potentially invasive species. Animals have no rights. They are managed as humanity's property to ensure we don’t have to send them all the way of the wolf. All laws center solely around human well being and the safe and effective preservation of natural ecosystems to keep the planet running. Trophy hunting is a pure moral good. Animals scheduled to be culled are the ONLY ones being culled, in contrast to the western "shoot what you see" hunting tag system. Funds go to maintaining nature preserves. Killing animals that we NEED to kill is not evil. >wewwwweellllll MAYBE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SHOULD COME LAST KILL LE AFRICANSSee, THAT is evil. If you dont believe in managing animals to keep nature working and out of our way, what do you believe in without being an evil, antihuman pest who can not abide by developing countries, you know, developing, despite benefiting every waking moment from ACTUAL ecological destruction that was 10000x worse than africans doing shit like killing 80 elephants?

>>4925629Then get out lizardman
>le reddit trophy hunters are actualy based because conservation false argumentYou think these African countries aren't corrupt to the bone? The hunters are not shooting "non breeding" old males. They are shooting healthy animals in their prime. It perpetuates a cycle of evil, and farmers will still kill animals that bother them.

Bet he got endless pussy for that one and was probably regarded as a hero.Today he would be vilified for putting down the greatest enemy man had at the time.
>>4925790He killed overpopulated megafauna to help keep them out of humanity’s way. Based if you ask me.
if you had to live near lions youd want them all killed. your ancestors did this to wolves, lions, and hyenas already. africans are goddamn saints for not rounding up the ak47 gang and wiping them out. they set limits like 30 lions, 80 elephants, etc. and the west STILL complains. meanwhile the west is glad to support morocco in the wholesale poisoning of all the dogs pets or not for muh soccer and glad to support australia slaughtering peoples pet cats because muh rare parrots

>>4925016Yes.
>>4926688>human rights are contract basedno
>>4925248>us
>>4924752Culling predators is justified as long as it reduces violations. The predators he killed would have ended up killing thousands of other animals in their lifetime. The act of hunting can then be justified. However, this guy likely economically contributed to factory farming via his dietary choices which would have resulted in even more violations of smaller animals. Overall, I consider him less evil than the average normalfag KFC muncher. Atleast, he helped in reducing violations of hundreds of African prey. The average fag is too retarded and emotionally driven to reason these nuances.

>>4926867that's bullshit and you know it lol this has nothing to do with contracts and everything to do with inhibition and the ability to foresee consequences
>>4926875Mostly is the issue to kill for amusement and sport instead of consuming and using every part of the animal, plus while stock is numerous most of the big game animals that get hunted are at the brink of extinction due to habitat loss.
>>4926915Animals killed in trophy hunts are eaten by other animals or local africans, not thrown in landfills. >>4926876I prefer letting the males get a little bigger before decapitating them to get the free meat (imagine paying to feed chickens lmao) but a high speed grinder is probably slightly more humane than an axe
>>4926920The issue is that the egg laying breeds don’t efficiently turn feed into grain, they are bred to turn feed into eggs. So letting them mature is wasteful compared to growing meat birds instead, unless your inputs are free and you don’t give a shit about the output efficiency.
>feed into grainfeed into meat.
>>4926920>Animals killed in trophy hunts are eaten by other animals or local africans, not thrown in landfills.No, anon. No. Most trophies consist of only select parts of the animal, which are prepared for display by a taxidermist. >https://www.four-paws.be/our-stories/eu-blog-news/de-mystifying-the-role-of-trophy-hunting-in-conservation
>>4926951Yeah the head and the hide, the meat is usually eaten.
>>4926939Yeah but thats factory farming, it sucks. I dont pay to feed chickens. I just mow my lawn. Its enough nutrition to keep them alive until i’m hungry. But anyways, a high speed grinder thats 100000x your size is probably the least painful way to go. Your entire CNS would be paste in an instant.
>>4926951>whitey saves the least valuable parts of the animal>for a fee that goes to maintaining the preserve or helping people>rest returned to nature or used to save human beings from starvationIf trophy hunting were banned the africans would just exterminate the animals wholesale since they would no longer represent a resource, just like they already mass poison AWDs and Hyenas because trophy hunters don’t value them as much anyways. They are absolutely and purely pests that only hamper their efforts to develop a civilization. They dont have fuckin factory farms and vertical agriculture so all the megafauna wreck agricultural yields at will. Are you saying they should? Just wipe the fuckers out? Well. Sure! Go Africa!

>>4925243>I was thinking of replying, but realized I have no actual rebuttal so I will just call you a childish insult.
>>4927233>NaturalIn reality, most of these trophy hunters are basically just paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to private groups to shoot caged/ranch animals. Canned hunting happens quite a lot and these animals have no chance of escaping and are usually shot in large pens.Animals in canned hunts are all captive-bred, who can never be used for conservation (canned hunting is very common with lions). I have strong doubts that trophy hunting is as pure as you think since>a LOT of money involved>AfricaDoesn't take a genius to figure that out.Also, for the united states at least, the Humane Society found that about 94% of the funding for Conservation comes from activities completely unrelated from hunting of any kind, and trophy hunting for indigenous american carnivores (wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, etc.) goes to about 0.14% of the conservation here.Yeah it does bring in a lot of money, but keep in mind that most of it funnels back into regulating hunting to begin with since that is also highly expensive.https://www.humanesociety.org/sites/default/files/docs/HSUS_Trophy-Hunting-Economics-2020.pdf
>>4927281Canned hunting funds conservation in africa. Not here. Africa does not have rich white childless liberals to fund literally everything. They don’t have idiots that shill pitbulls and drive up fatal dog attacks either, and likely never will. Good. >oh no an animal in a pen was killed!Story of every sheep, goat, cow, pig, and chicken in the last 10,000 years. They are animals. Who cares?
>>4927281based trophypsycho destroyer>>4927286cringe animal hater
>>4927323I dont hate animals. I love them for what they are - part of nature. A natural resource. Canned hunting is an important source of funds and arguably better than any factory farmed meat. Whats the real problem, you want to fuck a lion?
>>4927258>can't answer the question>trannies out of nowhereit's hilarious when pedophiles out themselves without even realizing lmao
>>4927324>Canned hunting is an important source of funds[citation needed]But i know you don't have one because you're here to argue out your ass and farm (You)'s.
>>4927325The answer is its always wrong to rape a person no matter how many charities you donate to but animals are just a resource and dont have moral standing. We can mass produce lions and they dont even care. If people shooting lions are not highly prone to becoming serial killers then there is no issue.
>>4927328Trophy hunts are the only reason africans haven’t nuked and paved lion and elephant habitat yet. They are the only reason they can afford to maintain those habitats and prefer it to developing them. Vegans and ARAs are retards. Animals are resources, not people.
>trophy hunting generates almost 400 mil in revenue for all subsaharan countries>animal populations must be culled so africans can develop the land outside of preserves, or else they overpopulate or go off the reservation>the funds from hunts are the reason african countries can afford to make 27-38% of their land protected instead of 5-10%>pure tourism is not an option, managed populations require culls, might as well let someone pay to do the cull instead of paying someone to do the cull>noooo but yer killing animuls>lions: *kills animals*
>>4927332>an estimated 98% of people who argue against me make up statistics
>>4927335You can simply look them up. End trophy hunts and africa has zero reason not to exterminate hyenas, AWDs, elephants and lions. They could develop more by claiming the land for agriculture and factories. The west might complain but china has good relations with the whole continent and gives them equipment and jobs instead of bags of wheat.
>>4927286>Canned hunting funds conservation in Africa.It directly does the opposite. Since the money made by it encourages building farms and reserves solely for the slaughter of the captive animals. Taking away land that could have instead been put towards rewilding.Because these animals are captive bred and the VAST majority of these reserves are privately owned by random people, the funds very much do not go towards conservation or even to the local area. This is where a lot of the problems for trophy hunting comes in. Botswana, for example, has no such controls on where the funds end up.In truth, the actual reason why trophy hunting is beneficial is the fact that it creates a lot of jobs for the local area, which disincentivizes locals from just hunting them. Also you have to also consider that, after all the years of being funded by trophy hunting.>african elephants>giraffes>african lions>rhinocerosare all still threatened or endangered.Also on this topic, I am not sure if there is any particular example of a formerly endangered population of wild animals, and that species was saved specifically from the funding of hunting it. An example would be in good defense of trophy hunts.
I don't think I could ever approve or condone the hunting/killing of lions, *for fun*. It just doesn't make any sense. They're already associated with majesty and are considered endangered. Elephants meanwhile are some of the most intelligent animals on Earth, and have incredible memories. Why would I ever want to harm any of these creatures unless it was in self defense? I don't understand it.
>>4927286>>4927324I don’t think you know what canned hunting is. It has nothing to do with conservation

>>4927649Most of those lions were killed to clear the way for developing basic civilization and saving people from being eaten. You know, like europes lion population. No matter what a lot of lions need to go. Without trophy hunting it might as well be all of them. They attack people and livestock if their populations aren’t managed.
>>4927649wouldnt the correct course of action be addressing corruption instead of banning lion hunting and cutting off a non-donation revenue stream? its like you want africa to go all in with china and russiaif western countries criminalized traveling to africa to kill a lion they’d just kill them on their own and start putting EV factories on their territory.

>>4926787Predators are superior to herbivores and should kill as much of them as necessary to prevent them from uprooting the ecosystem
>>4932865>superiorcringe childish view
>>4932868grass munching faggot view
>>4932872case in point, stupid child
>>4932874You can only fag out over a word because you know I'm right. Herbivores depend on carnivores to keep their populations healthy and strong. Nature needs them to prevent herbivores from overunning the ecosystem and starving to death.
>>4932876Rabbit evolve large litters to compensate for predators. They don't need the flesh parasites, flesh parasites merely evolved to exploit them.
>>4932865What predators killing other predators or even members of their own species?https://youtu.be/RHaGvULKwTY?si=U-2lT7XHUuK_qLca
>>4932865How do you explain this then?https://youtu.be/wDhOcRa6BK0?si=IMVyM4DVn4uyT-Fp&t=1538
>>4933174Yeah rabbits are fit and highly adaptable to deal with predators. Otherwise they wouldn't have developed speed, flighty attitudes, burrowing habits, sharp senses, high population counts, etc.. none of these adaptations would be selected for without the threat of raptors, mustelids and whatever else preys on them. You're literally proving my point that being predated shaped them into better lifeforms. No rabbit would even come into existence without predators butchering their less succesful ancestors.
>>4933185Same effect. Interspecies competition means only the fittest of a species will survive and reproduce or even reach adulthood in the case of male lions that have a significant mortality rate. Herbivores do this too by either straight up killing their own kind if they are in competition or by abandoning their own offspring to die if they are deemed unfit.
>>4933459Cheetas are competition for food or food themselves. Why shouldn't it eat one if it's a bigger predator and benefit the Lions own chances of survival? Keep in mind animals have no sense of human morality.
>>4933500Ironically species that are more K-selected can more easily become endangered by sudden habitat loss or a spate of poaching (great apes, elephants) because they have fewer offspring and have to invest more time in rearing them while k-selected species like rabbits can more quickly propagate themselves
>>4935115>k-selected species like rabbitsthat should say r-selected species like rabbits*
>>4928138The work itself makes sense, but calling them trophies is weak as hell. It implies they have something to take pride in, something more than "I paid more money than you make in a year so I could shoot an animal that didn't even know I exist," it's like a douchier version of American Pickers. I like the conservation work that comes with it, so I'm not gonna cry for the abolition of trophy hunting, but there's no universe where I'll ever respect it.
>>4924752Colorado shitlibs want to ban mountain lion hunting as well:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5kp8lVp7R8
>>4935629Good. Apex predators should not be hunted at all. Fuck /pol/cucks.
>>4935630If you're White, you're a disgrace to your ancestors who removed these threats from Europe so that European civilization could thrive.
>>4935630Species which have been known to kill humans need to have their populations strictly managed and culled if they get too close to human residences. If you disagree, we'll send all the grizzly bears and mountain lions to your house so you can feed them yourself. Literally.
>>4935633>goes deep into the wild to kill a mt. lion>YOU DON'T LIKE IT? WHY DON'T I PUT ALL THESE PREDATORS IN YOUR BACKYARD???
>>4935657I was responding to this anon >>4935630 who clearly stated "apex predators should not be hunted at all."
>>4935629Supporting professional hunters is essential for both safety and conservation.

>>4925101wait when you guys say "tranny" do you ACTUALLY think that the person you're talking to is transI thought it was just a genericized insult like "faggot"
>>4935630apex predators are mainly hunted in carefully controlled numbers as part of conservation effortsNothing like sabotaging wildlife preserves to pwn the right!

>>4938449that's a cute croc
>>4935317a trophy doesnt necessarily mean you did something hard, its just the spoils of something you took.If you punch someone strapped to a chair, the tooth you punched out you took with you is still a trophy.The idea of trophies being GIVEN for something is a much latter idea then something being TAKEN. its from the idea of collecting spoils of war. even if its from some malnurished pesent with a half a leg and you gangraped him with 2 other oiled up hoplites.
>>4940007You are correct, but that doesn't make them any less of a bunch of queers.
>>4940493Im just saying the term is appropriate.More of a terminological niggle then anything else. I hate when people narrow the meaning of words thus killing the actual intents behind them with newspeak that only serves to foster indignation instead of the actual sentiment behind them.One of my hobbies is reading old books and there are a lot of words we've fucked over with over specific preconceptions since then that use to be used in a really raw dynamic and not at all unilateral way.
>>4924801>Body plan virtually unchanged 200 million years - still thriving.>In contrast most other species go extinct within 15 million years.Literally just built different.
>>4927335He's correct. Hunters give back to the economy.

>>4924752All animals fear the real superpredator: Man>Lions have long been perceived as Africa’s, if not the world’s, most fearsome terrestrial predator,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 the “king of beasts”. Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing1,10 as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators,10,11,12 due partly to technologies such as hunting with dogs or guns.11,13,14,15 >We comprehensively experimentally tested whether wildlife’s fear of humans exceeds even that of lions, by quantifying fear responses1 in the majority of carnivore and ungulate species (n = 19) inhabiting South Africa`s Greater Kruger National Park (GKNP),9,15,16,17 using automated camera-speaker systems9,18 at waterholes during the dry season that broadcast playbacks of humans, lions, hunting sounds (dogs, gunshots) or non-predator controls (birds).9,19,20,21,22 Fear of humans significantly exceeded that of lions throughout the savanna mammal community. >As a whole (n = 4,238 independent trials), wildlife were twice as likely to run (p < 0.001) and abandoned waterholes in 40% faster time (p < 0.001) in response to humans than to lions (or hunting sounds). Fully 95% of species ran more from humans than lions (significantly in giraffes, leopards, hyenas, zebras, kudu, warthog, and impala) or abandoned waterholes faster (significantly in rhinoceroses and elephants). Our results greatly strengthen the growing experimental evidence that wildlife worldwide fear the human “super predator” far more than other predators,1,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 and the very substantial fear of humans demonstrated can be expected to cause considerable ecological impacts,1,6,22,23,24,29,30,31,32,33,34,35 presenting challenges for tourism-dependent conservation,1,36,37 particularly in Africa.38,39
>>4924752TIME TO GO A-HUNTIN'>Since 1973, Wyoming has managed mountain lions in a way that promotes their existence, using regulations that have allowed the native felines to bounce back from extreme scarcity. Cougars were once wiped out of large areas of the state where they now thrive, like the Black Hills, during an earlier era of unrestricted killing.>But a proposal that will be considered by the Wyoming Legislature calls for returning to the time when the cats could be killed without limit. House Bill 286, “Mountain lion hunting season-changes,” would throw out the fundamental structure of current lion management regulations: Cougar killing would be fair game 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department would be prohibited from imposing any limits on cats killed at the local and statewide levels. >Additionally, wildlife managers would be forced to allow lion trapping, a now-prohibited pursuit that results in cats, and other animals, being killed indiscriminately, regardless of their age or sex. Furthermore, mountain lion hunters would no longer need a dedicated license — any person with a valid antelope, deer or elk tag could kill an unlimited number of the stealthy felines legally. >The sweeping overhaul to modern lion management is the idea of Rep. Mike Schmid, an oil and gas industry businessman, Wyoming State Trappers Association board member and Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned Republican who hails from La Barge.

>>4943477What?
>>4924752S
>>4943477Hunting is a very popular pastime and many people like and admire hunters
>>4943529Where did I imply anything to the contrary?
>>4943529Hunting is fine, you are a fag who has never been outdoors or held a gun
>>4924925basedliteral flesh automatons, they should be eradicated along with other pests
>>4943573I agree except we should start with you. I might forget about the rest desu
>>4943573American crocodiles live near Florida urban areas without any serious issues. They mostly leave humans alone.
>>4928115>crocodiles were around at the same as the dinosaurs>crocodiles are related to dinos and birds (archosaurs)>yet crocodiles don't have feathersHow come scutes aren't the default assumption for dinosaurs rather than feathers?
>>4944252Because big scutes and osteoderms preserve really well. There’s a reason we know ankylosaurus had them but not T. rex
>>4944252Don’t be ridiculous anon, they had scales not scutes. Has the schizo taught you nothing?
>>4924801Smarter than you
>>4944252>>4944598It would be funny if the real answer was a secret third thing that's neither scales nor feathers
>>4944252Archosaur is about as descriptive as 'mammaliaform' which could be anything from a platypus to a humpback whale.(it is specifically broken up into two separate branches, archosaurs closer to crocodiles, often called pseudosuchians, and then the other branch has avemetatarsalia which is dinosaurs and pterosaurs.)
>>4945175>a secret third thingNipples? What if dinosaurs were absolutely covered in nipples? What if nipples evolved before milk? How could milk be delivered without nipples? One had to come first. I don't see why dinos couldn't have been covered in fleshy little protrusions. Maybe female dinos found it hot.
>>4924816I would have loved to put a metal bar inside the hunter's anus infront of his wife and children

>>4924752This is why you need hunters.While leopards are sometimes killed for their valuable pelts, Waseem says the majority of recorded cases are acts of retaliation – triggered by attacks on people or, more frequently, their farm animals. Before the 1990s, human-leopard conflict was rare, but rapid deforestation (Pakistan’s forest now covers less than 5% of its land, compared with an international average of 31%) has pushed leopards closer to human settlements. In the Galiyat area, in the north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this conflict escalated dramatically in the 2000s, culminating in a rash of human fatalities. One leopard, nicknamed “the Ghost of the Galiyats” is reported to have killed six women before being trapped and killed by police in 2005.Women face a heightened risk of leopard attacks. In rural communities, they are typically responsible for collecting water and firewood, a task that can require walking several kilometres through forested areas and stopping at water sources. To a leopard, these movements may resemble those of prey.
>>4948228More like this is why you need forests

>>4948643>nooo you need to halt economic progress. think of the leopards. haha ak47 go brrrrrr night night kittycat
>>4948643>>turd wurlders cut down all their forests>>forest animals are forced to kill farm animals and people>>OMG BIG SCARY CATS KILL THEM ALL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThis is exactly what Europeans did over the centuries in Europe.

>>4927040>They are absolutely and purely pests that only hamper their efforts to develop a civilization.If they could develop a civilization they would have wiped out those "pests" thousands of years ago, especially considering they had a decent headstart on everyone else who has actually developed a civilization.
>>4949122based Africans remaining in mud huts so that elephants and rhinos wouldn't go extinct
>>4948279You need hunters as well
>>4951084>only 200-400 leopards left in PakistanHmmm yes we really need hunters to curb the numbers of those almost extinct animals
>>4924752Why do people get so upset by trophy hunters so much? Farmers kill millions of animals for food that we waste most of. The guy was an asshole sure, but the reaction from places like Reddit is so cringe imo
>>4924752Based
>>4952683agreed, hunters aren't the problem
>>4933459Damn that cheetah has seen some shit
>>4938449funny image. Thanks for making it.
>>4952683difference is, farmers do it for our own good, we do need to eat meatbut hunting is only for fun, its stupid
>>4952683Farmers also bred the animals they kill, I have yet to see a hunter doing animal husbandry of the things he kills.
