These people are evil if the word means anything at all. What makes someone so broken inside? I wish I knew. The comparison to serial killers is frightening, 'cause it's <i>accurate,</i> the mindset is the same, and yet these people walk free among us. I mean, you might not exactly <i>approve</i> of the likes of Hemingway and T Roosevelt, but at least they had a cultural excuse.

You want to hunt these things? Get within claw and tooth range. Don't pretend you're tough because you did something you could have done from another fucking country with an adequate remote control setup. For all the risk you assholes take and involvement you have in the hunt, you might as well have stayed home and let the guides pull the trigger and send you the fucking trophy.<br /><br />We'd all have been better off, I think, if we hadn't invented guns. We'd have a lot more wildlife and a lot fewer dead kids.D.

I saw your interchange with the guy who writes the Consider the Source blog, both of you trying to stay fact-based and cool of mind, and coming at the subject of hunting from almost diametrically opposite directions - or so it seemed to me. Very frustrating.<br /><br />Scott, that nurse hunting scene is creepily brill and reminds me oddly of old MAD Magazine parodying "Field and Stream" in the dim past (with cover showing square jawed sportsman facing the onslaught of an enraged gopher, IIRC).

It's exactly the same: Ayla dug a hole, chased her prey into the hole and then killed the prey (horse) with a bone-club! Ms. Quatermain used a high powered rifle with telescopic sight on a tripod, after (probably) having her trophy-prey lured into her sights by her lion-killing boyfriend'd paid minions.

Giraff...<i>they could hurt you seriously very quickly</i><br /><br />Giraffes have long had a reputation as relentless killing machines -- which is no doubt why they're known in some quarters as the "Jaws of the veldt". What with their height, plus those keen ears and eyes and sense of smell, there's no way to hide from them. Once they've marked you for their prey, it's either you or them. <br /><br />Good thing she had that spiffy rifle with the telescopic sight that's hanging on a tripod next to her trophy. In fact, the tripod itself -- which has a cradle mounted on it -- is a giveaway that she made that shot from a very safe, very long distance.<br /><br />A genuine profile in courage is our Ms. Quatermain. <br /><br />Maybe it's just the light, the way it makes her look like she's got empty eye-sockets, or the way she's got her right arm resting possessively on her kill, but there is something distinctly totenkopf-ish about this lady.<br /><br />grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-16980795584305094502015-08-04T10:57:51.796-07:002015-08-04T10:57:51.796-07:00I suppose they believe it gives them very high sta...I suppose they believe it gives them very high status amongst their killer-pals, many of who belong to the 1% or even .01%.

I read these photos as being statements of superiority. "Look what I can totally control. Behold this great beast dead at my hands, and gasp in wonder at the total hot-shitness of me."<br /><br />I don't get how killing an animal with modern weaponry and/or with the kind of cheating methods used by our Minnesota dentist friend makes you superior. I don't get how they can be unaware of how they look in their photos, grinning and glorying over a dead body.<br /><br />Also, what can be understood about these people from their use of expressions like "getting" or "taking" the animals? Those are possessive verbs on the one hand, on the other they're euphemistic substitutes for "kill". It sounds as if the animals have something that the hunters want for themselves - some power, some quality - and they think they can get it by killing them, although apparently they aren't comfortable coming right out and using that word.<br /><br />Scott, you mentioned serial killers - I think you're right. On a more commonplace level, I think these trophy hunters, male and female, are similar to the kind of man who pursues women in the Casanova/Don Juan style. As long as the woman remains an independent actor, undominated, he'll track her obsessively. It's her separateness, her difference from him, that he wants to "take". If he has sex with her, the moment of entering her is the moment of vanquishing her, the equivalent of the happiness you see on the funters' faces in their trophy photos. "I couldn’t be any happier!! My emotion after getting him was a feeling I will never forget!!!”<br /><br />As soon as the Don Juan type finishes that one encounter, that hunt is over along with his interest in that particular woman. He can brag to his buds that he screwed her, which I guess is the equivalent of the head mounted on the wall. But this kind of theft from another being is notorious for being unsatisfying. The funter will be on the prowl again.<br /><br />Sad and bad.Li'l Innocenthttps://ladysmantle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-88963280720884750912015-08-03T19:59:56.356-07:002015-08-03T19:59:56.356-07:00"Respect"
