Killing a giraffe or elephant is no different than killing a mouse...except in your mind. Some are regulated as per population and the laws put in place, but there is no difference except in the thought process.


Just like Jesus, sometimes you gotta kill some hogs.

I’d hunt them all- but I have no desire to shoot an elephant, rhino, hippo, zebra, giraffe, or big cat.

I’m like “ hey lady you are in a HUNTING store!”


Maybe she should shop at REI with the rest of the nature park people


I don’t understand why people recoil over killing a big cat. Yes they are pretty and a predator. They are also not immortal and will die one day if left to their own devices


For me, many of the big cat species got on the endagered list, and are now slowly rebounding. Guess I've seen enough nature shows that have shown how hard their life is as a predator. Just getting a kill, then keeping that kill from other predators. I guess I've got a certain respect for them.

But hey, if someone hunts, kills, and harvests one legally, that's none of my business.

Of course.

I’d shoot the hell out of one. Anyone thinking about jumpin’ around the woods in a monkey suit, keep that in mind. I’m not even gonna feel bad about it.

A fur seal walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "What'll you have?"

The fur seal says,"Anything but Canadian Club on the rocks"... laugh

Interesting comments thus far......haven't really noticed anyone chastising others decisions.....only expressing their own desires as requested by the OP.....

There are lots of things I have no interest in hunting.....but don't disparage others choices.....if it's legal and you want to do....by all means knock yourself out.....
