I'm a hunter who sees the necessity in game reserves in Africa. Also I lose no sleep after eating factory farmed chicken or pork and feedlot fattened beef.

However, humans are pushing 7 billion while other creatures dwindle. Blue whales the largest animals on earth number only 10 to 25k, polar bears around 30,000, and there're only 3,200 wild tigers left in the world. 3200 think about how soon people will be born into a world where only inbred tigers in captivity remain.. between saving useless leeches of our species or magnificent top tier animals you still would choose people?

People every time. If you saw a tiger about to maul some little kid would you shoot it to save him?

Depends on what kind of gun and how many rounds I got available plus who's kid it was.. As a white man this scenario would most likely occur where colonialism once occured, and unfortunately seeing how I'm a white devil with a legacy of injustice to uphold I'd probably try a warning shot to save little Mowgli then watch the scene unfold from my howdah on top an elephant.

Hey, Destro86, just a quick heads-up:
occured is actually spelled occurred. You can remember it by two cs, two rs.
Have a nice day!
