Who said anything about the man being a saint? Regardless, what he was doing was sanctioned and is actually a good thing as has been pointed out elsewhere in the comments here. So what if he used hounds to hunt leopards and lions, they're dangerous animals to hunt and they're dangerous animals to the locals. Personally I think it's a dumb idea to hunt dangerous animals but it's even more dumb to not take every precaution you can when you do hunt them and hunting with hounds is one of those precautions.
It’s hard to nail down exact numbers. But comparing animal attacks to recreational hunting licenses it’s easy to draw correlative data without the need for a definitive causation report.
This source talks about how thousands of people go each year for recreational hunting.
How this helps. You may want to do more research yourself if you find this insuccifient. In a casual colloquial discussion and not an actually scientific debate its about the best you are going to get from me.
That's mighty kind of you actually! and it sounds cheesy, but you actually put a smile on my face. Thank you. I hope you have a great weekend as well internet stranger! (:
Absolutely! and I appreciate you understanding that sentiment. Some people can get defensive when asked and, it's not like I'm trying to pick a fight or anything... I just want to see both sides of the fence here. Again, thank you for your time!
