    Excellent!

    She eliminated a weak member and thereby allowed the herd to prosper.

    Way to go for conservationism!

    Giraffe is kosher according to the Bible. I'm not keen to trying some anytime soon, though.

    Actually, I read that this old goat was killing the younger males who could reproduce while he is too old to do so. He was hurting the whole tower. (I had to look up what a group of giraffe's is called.....tower, strange name)

    Oh really? Why is that Ron? She followed the law, unlike those you support who don't follow the law.

    Hitler also followed the law.

    Yeah, so herds can starve. It’s the liberal way.

    Not in game reserves where their numbers have to be controlled in order to ensure not only their survival but the survival of all the species there.

    former fairly avid duck, dove and deer hunter here (mid 70s to mid 80s) and I have a problem with trophy hunting and trophy hunters. always have, always will. I don't buy the self-serving 'conservation' argument....wild animals have managed just fine for millennia without dentists, hedge fund managers, and Tess here culling them 'for their own good'.

    Did you miss this part?

    "He was over 18 years old, 4000 lbs. and was blessed to be able to get 2000 lbs. of meat from him"

    Not aware of culling herds for the good of the herd? Happens all the time here and allows legal hunts for the good of the species.

    You should be more upset with poachers than legal hunters.

    Me? I am not a hunter and don’t like to kill anything but understand the reasons for legal hunting.

    You think she takes the head home and that's it? It's easy to criticize from thousands of miles away. You never have to worry about the reality of the situation. I guess you'd rather have this old timer keep killing young bulls until he gets hurt and hyenas chew him into pieces. If you don't know it, deer hunting in the US is no different, you have to keep their numbers down.

    Don't be so disingenuous. You know very well the local tribes get the meat.

    Well you can get about 900-1000 lbs of meat from a moose. And that will get a family through the winter up in Alaska..
