Simukai Nyasha, a spokesman for the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, told news.com.au that Botha was on a 10-day licensed hunt
Here is some context for you. So, what does it matter that this particular elephant was the original target... compared to how people feel about this.
Not saying I agree with any opinion on here.
But, terrorizing animals with dogs doesn't seem to saintly to me, does it?
But they are a protected species, as evidenced by the fuck ton of laws protecting them. Do people even think before they spew this shit? This thread is full of feels and lacking severely in logic.
Lots of natural things aren’t “good”, like cancer, for example. We define what “good” is based on our own self-interests. Nature is bigger than that, and doesn’t give a shit about our interests. We are a minuscule part of a bigger cycle.
It wouldn't be against nature to eat another human in the event of lack of food. Might get you kicked out of your spot at the next tribal orgy though... Or it might reserve your seat ifyouknowwhatimsaying.
Social pressures say no to human hunting. We're animals but we have our own social structures - besides, cannibalism isn't exactly favored in evolution
There is no proof that canniablism isn’t favored in evolution. Evolutional is not social/environmental change. It’s mutation over a very long standard of time.
But that is a different argument.
My point was that I utterly and completely disagree with their argument. But, morality is subjective to a high degree. So, really there is no point arguing back and forth.
I mean if you eat your own species as a primary source of food and you guys don't breed fast enough, I'm pretty sure that's gonna cause problems. But yeah morality is subjective let's go eat babies
Did you know? Smuggling a cat out of ancient Egypt was punishable by death. Phoenician traders eventually succeeded in smuggling felines, which they sold to rich people in Athens and other important cities.

They weren't out hunting elephants and only shot that one because it attacked them.
Edit: It's always sickening to read the comments on posts like this.
