Fantastic news. Maybe shame the sick bastards into stopping.
Illegal hunting, hell yeah throw the book at them.
Those that are paying tens of thousands to go and pull the trigger on older animals that are to be culled anyway, and thus paying for better conservation and rangers etc, I have 0 issue with.
If it’s illegal, sure.
But the reality is legal trophy hunting is what keeps the reserves open. If you want these animals to continue to exist, trophy hunting is a neccesary evil. This fact is almost universally accepted across conservation experts.
Sounds reasonable, if they don’t think there’s anything wrong with what they’re doing then they won’t mind being named for all the public to see.
The most shocking name on the list is apparently David Attenborough. It turns out he absolutely hates animals.
I don’t like upvoting the daily mail but I’ll make an exception in this case
Its an awful paradoxical fact that big game lodges in SA are doing more to preserve wildlife and habitat than anyone. Sadly they fund it this way but at least they fund it. They’re not bastards they’re realists. The hunters i have no idea of their motivations
Trophy hunting is a vital form of conservation, despite what western helicopter activists like to preach. This sort of anti-hunting drivel is based on emotion rather than reason. What animal in Africa or the wider world is under threat from modern legal hunting? As far as I am aware it is none. What animals are under threat from is illegal poaching, habitat loss and general local conflict with humans. Trophy hunting is a land use that sustains the animals habitat and is a counter balance against both poaching and human conflict.
If Trophy hunting a perfect conservation model? No. But neither are fenced national parks or photographic safaris. However one would not argue with doing away with the later two. If you want to end trophy hunting, it would be irresponsible not to have a replacement land use that works to conserve natural habitat set up ready to take its place, which currently there is not.
Not to mention the fact there is a glaring colonial overtone of white western nations telling developing counties how to manage there wildlife reserves, particularly when countries like Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana have legal Trophy hunting and the largest amount of game destiny and diversity. This is not a coincidence and Trophy hunting has played a key role in the animal and habitat management success.
I want it to be called mega twats of kent and the Savannah,
Or
Fantastic cunts and where to find them
Hunting for food I have no problem with. But hunting for fun is straight up psychopath behavior
Either they will be killed illegally or they will be killed by human settlement i mean what do you guys want that’s the way it goes at least the money is put back in to conservation.
Big game hunting is something you oppose when you’re a child and don’t know any better.
The irony is that big game hunting does more to help endangered animals than just about anything else.
Think from the perspective of a town dealing with a herd of wild elephants, do they kill them? or do they let the elephants exist, spend hundreds on elephant defences, and occasionally have a hunter come and pay £35,000 to kill one?
If you feel strongly about stopping big game hunting then donate to conservation charities of if you can afford it, go and visit these game reserves.
Sad reality is that the funds from this hunting does a huge amount to benefit conservation in Africa. Since covid in particular, funds have dried up and these places are really struggling. This allows hunting (both legal hunting and illegal poaching) to flourish
Edit: just read all the other comments on this thread and it’s so refreshing to see. Five/ten years ago this sort of nuance just didn’t exist in the U.K. People are now much more aware of the reality of life on the front line of conservation
I despise trophy hunting and those that do it. How callus can a person be to take a life just for a trophy. Hunting to feed yourself and your family I can accept though as long as it is done as humanely as possible.
I wish nothing but bad things on those who take pleasure in killing things for fun
This assumes those named are capable of feeling shame
Now this is something I’d back with protesters at their houses
I doubt they have any shame, for starters, they already know what they are doing and the public sentiment towards it.
I bet Prince Andrew is sweating about this book coming out…
Developing a lucrative market for certain animals leads inevitably to their extinction, which is why the cow died out years ago…
They should all be taken to a remote island with their gear for a real hunt. Last man standing gets to keep trophies from the other 99.
I say, we aught to place them in some kind of battle royale. Bare fists and rusty Phillips screwdrivers only. The sole survivor wins the privilege of fighting a pack of hungry lions with a blunt butter knife.
I don’t see what’s wrong with big game hunting, as long as it’s done sustainably.
It’ll be interesting to see if any have links to significant British parties or institutions.
Good. Hope the bastards like dog shit through their letterboxes.
Why? A lot of the times these people are paying loads of money to do this which helps local economies. Also, alot of these animals are raised on conservation specifically for this purpose. Its a business.
It’s difficult to find any meaningful information around this that isn’t emotionally charged.
I had a quick scan through the born free report which has a lot of figures in it and has listed 75 references where they have gained their information. But many of them aren’t actually credited studies but publications from other websites (I haven’t checked any references however).
I also can’t find any quick credible sources around the benefits of trophy hunting that aren’t pro big game hunting publications. Listed in the anti trophy hunting report was how that they money doesn’t go back into the local economy but in my scan all I could see was 3 quotes from figures within the local communities (that could be from those people I can’t verify that) but only one source around the advantages/disadvantages of trophy hunting.
Personally I find the idea of trophy hunting abhorrent but it seems very uncomfortable that a lot of the charities against are UK/US based and not really based in the countries where trophy hunting is most common.
Oh no.
Whether the names of the big game hunters are all accurate or not, making them public risks public safety and could easily result in British lives being put at grave risk.
From both thuggish militants based in the uk who won’t hesitate to hunt the hunters and international animal rights terror groups who will gladly give those that they view as the terrorist murderers of innocent creatures a taste of what being subjected to lifethreatening attacks feels like.
Didn’t realize cancel culture was thing over seas too.
What’s the betting the majority of them are tories or tory donors?
I’d rather they were rounded up and had thier balls cut off in public.
