…raises SO <\/span>many questions<\/strong>. <\/span><\/div>\n
T<\/span>his week there was a news story<\/a> about a woman who “hunted”, killed, and posed with a dead rare black giraffe. Obviously, people all over the world were quite shocked and upset about this report. This story raises so many questions.<\/p>\n
\n
The continuous never-ending controversy around Conservation and Rare animals with Legal Hunting came up. Again. How can hunting a rare black Giraffe even be legal?<\/li>\n
The correct spelling of the word G-I-R-A-F-F-E? I mean let’s be honest, it doesn’t really make its way into a person’s spellcheck engine very often.<\/li>\n
How difficult is it to actually HUNT a giraffe?<\/li>\n
Is there tracking involved? It seems like they might be somewhat easy to locate.<\/li>\n
How does one hunt a giraffe? Look up? You don’t have to search under things, or be in a tree stand do you? Yeah, I’m struggling to find the “sport” in this one. Now, if it was done using anything other than a high-powered rifle like say, a person’s hands or a club then maybe a sport, it could be called.<\/li>\n
Seems they would be fairly easy to find, follow, and shoot or am I missing something here?<\/li>\n
Do they crouch when they see a gun yards across the savannah?<\/li>\n
Do they duck?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Yeah, I don’t know man, maybe it’s just me but I am failing to see the “sport” or any real difficulty with this target.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t feel real proud about being in that pic, nor would I if I was the shooter either.<\/p>\n
