  • None, not one of them. We hold the monopoly on that barbarism.

    Almost all carnivorous animals kill for sport....we just call it something else. We call it surplus killing.

    Are you sure about that m2c? I thought humans were the only ones that did that. Killed for sport not need. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thee! :)

    I wonder why folks think doing that is a "sport" NHP? I understand killing for food. I suppose humans did that from the very beginning of time. Survival is important. But killing for sport? Just for he** of it to prove how macho we are? I dunno, It takes a particular kind of convoluted "thinking" to make that be okay. In my opinion. Thank you for your reply m'dear and Happy Tuesday! :)

    Google "surplus killing" you will find all sorts of articles on it.

    It is a myth that groups like PETA  and anti-hunting groups like to spread.  Humans are not by any means the only living thing that kills for sport.  In fact most hunters kill for sport and for food.  If they don't eat it themselves, they donate the meat to others who can use it.

    I have seen videos of dolphins and killer whales "playing" with seals before finally killing it.

    Thank you for the info m2c. Do you condone/approve of mounting stuffed heads of animals stalked by and murdered white hunter kills on walls to brag about the prowess they enjoy? Is that something that other species do too? Brag/boast/celebrate/show trophies? Just wonderin'.

  • you say convoluted thinking, i would use a different word. It takes a special kind of backward thinking to put a bullet into any animal just for shits and gigles. i dont understand it.

    I have no problem with big game hunting...the meat is given to near by villages. I have no problem with regular hunting either as long as it is in season and they don't waste the meat. No problem with having it stuffed and mounted either.

    Is turnabout fair  play? Would you have a problem with a stuffed human head mounted on an elephan';s wall or a Tiger's wall or the wall of a Deer? Thank you for your reply m2c. We disagree. No surprise.

    I dunno. Did  apes murder humans, stuff their heads and mount them on the wall of their home? Thank you for your reply BSurf.
