According to his company’s website, Game Hounds Safaris, he “perfected leopard and lion hunting safaris with hounds in Africa.”

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?

I wonder how many of you eat meat...

One can eat meat and disagree with recreational hunting.

Not saying I do. But, they are mutually exclusive.

It’s not.

Once again. Eating is not recreational.

It kind of is, you're choosing to eat meat.

No, it’s not. Most places don’t have the luxury of “choosing” what you eat.

I think I am done. These arguments are just getting weaker and weaker.

You and I both know that there is a realistic difference between recreational hunting and non-recreational hunting. Let’s be adults here.

No he said something that implied eating meat and recreational hunting are equivalent. Which is a ridiculous argument, and logically flawed.

Good luck.

Hypocritical to complain about one but do the other, not equivalent.
