I missed the original news flash, and Huffpost is so full of Bullshit content I can't load the original story, but I think that cat went off the Talmadge. Lucky thing to have survived; probably used 8 of his 9 lives!

Some people are able to understand the difference between legal hunting and illegal animal abuse.

Sadly, far too many cannot...

Makes total sense. You would have beat the hell out of Utah's grandfather Something about a box of kittens and a shovel. It's an old post I'll never forget.

It's only legal because some poor government in Africa needs the money.

Taking the life of another animal you are not going to eat simply for "fun" is sadistic, and a sin against nature.

Sadly far too many can't understand that.

"A sin against nature." WTF is that anyway? The only definition I find is homosexuality and related sexual acts such as anal intercourse. Most definitions are merely a characterization as a "sin against nature" by the reader to lend credence to a personal belief, not an actual sin.

Anyway, the extinction of a species is caused almost entrirely by human encroachment on the species' habitats, not by hunting. Poaching of rhinos and elephants for their tusks to obtain a supposed aphrodisical ingredient is leading to the extinction of certain species of rhinos and to an unecessary loss of epephants, but legal hunting is not.

I totally support conservation of all species, but you, JoeToooool, are again off-base with your analyses. [Plural] Just because you don't like something does not mean it's either sinful nor supported by facts.

Council, in this reference Nature = God; Pantheism. You guys are on the same page but arguing because it's the internet. A life is taken period. That fact has karmic weight for the hunter(might be positive,might be bad) but for those who don't believe in spiritual accountability it is fine to just follow the "laws" Joe is speaking about Sport hunting and its increasing revenue base especially for the poor countries of Africa.

I know what JoeToool is referencing, but those "laws of nature" just don't exist in fact. They are made up by the poster. That's fine to prove an artificial point, but not an actual point. And as for the "increasing revenue" from sport hunting, do you have an facts for that? I would guess that it would be down.

Black market facts? Hmm lets get the data base search on that And the "laws of nature" cannot be comprehended by any of us.

There are "facts" to support just about any position. Their reliability is always the issue. By that, I don't mean to imply that your "facts" are wrong.

Seems that the people that actually did get the food would be appreciative.

And there are people that actually manage the balance of animal populations that are separate from the governments that need money.

Got some data that shows that this money just went to the government that needed money?

If Coool were to leave this place a good half dozen of you would watch your post count stall out.
