Please stop saying that hunting is a solution to preserve animals. It's cruel and non-sensical. Hunters actually say that they help preserving animals. Bitch if you wanted to help you'd be donating, not bragging your vanity and your hollowness on some poor's animal corpse.

Saying hunting is a solution is like saying killing poor people is a solution to poverty...[..]

Hunting itself doesn't preserve animals, but the desire to hunt for sport over profit (i.e. poaching) allows for a system that preserves animals. Hunters want to keep hunting, so they have implemented a sort of market for tags that makes sure populations remain healthy.

Right now it seems like the majority of money coming into organizations tasked with preserving wildlife comes from hunters. After all, it is in their best interest that the wildlife sticks around for as long as possible. If we take away hunting, how many do you think would donate in lieu of buying a tag?

If you are interested at all in understanding the pov of hunters, I'd recommend the Radiolab episode "The Rhino Hunter". There's a bit more to it than "bragging your vanity and your hollowness on some poor's animal corpse." http://www.radiolab.org/story/rhino-hunter/

I understand but it is really messed up that people even consider that moral. I'm sorry but I can't get any "a bit more" out of killing indefense animals for pleasure. It's just irrational. I believe these thirsty people for blood are just one step away from killing people. There's definitely something wrong in their heads.And the vast majority are white middle-class gun lover (nationalist) people. There must be some correlation.

If you feel like killing something, play some cod, jeez.

You're confusing conservation with animal welfare. They're two different goals which are often contradictory. You may be right that killing poor people would be a solution to poverty. But we don't do that because we think saving human life is more important than solving poverty. We could also minimize elephant killing by exterminating the species. That would ensure nobody ever inhumanely kills an elephant again. But preventing elephants being killed isn't our most important goal that we're willing to sacrifice everything else for.

Is it not true that some wealthy hunters pay very big dollars to hunt one big game animal, and that money is then used to assist a large number of other animals?

[adamnemecek]

How do you know where the money is going? You can pick an example of what you consider a successful conservation program in an African country and we can speak about it in very concrete terms.

It might be true, but like I said, read the analogy.

Bitch if you wanted to help

Please don't do this here. Regardless of how strongly you disagree, please don't resort to name-calling.
