Is it ok to kill a female's children so we can breed with her and spread our genes instead of another male's? And PLENTY of ways to avoid breeding! Their guide, Larry Hromadka, told Daniel when he could and could not take a shot. That is the height of arrogance, ignorance, and evil. Feral is not a fun place to be.

Unfortunately their deadliest predator is man.

Because of our childish insistence that death can be defeated, most of us will die in pain, lingering in non-death long after our lives have ended.

This is what defines our humanity. Molitor said more government oversight was unnecessary and would drive ranchers out of the business. Animals often die lingering and painful deaths or they might break the snare and develop festering wounds that just don't heal, Arizona election center is forced to CLOSE as armed Trump supporters chanting 'count the vote' lay siege in protest at state being called for Biden - as President closes the gap there and counting continues in Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, 'Do you think we are fools?'

He added that a single giraffe could produce around 660lbs of meat. Amazing really.

'People like it because it's cheap,' he said. “And we love the meat and the sausage from the hogs we harvest.”. We are under constant barrage by animal rights groups who fail to understand that our goal is the same as the European zoo's. But ranchers and wildlife experts said that Texas has more exotics than any other state. We must teach the world to respect all forms of life, if an innocent human has a right to life, then so does an innocent animal.

Killing with kindness one would ask? That is farmers.

Can you really argue that there was no other solution around killing the young, healthy Marius? The problem is that family farms feed the feedlots. With them we have a covenant of stewardship, which for sheep, has been upheld for over 10,000 years. An Asiatic water buffalo blocked the road, unimpressed by the Jeep. A 2007 report from Texas A&M University called the exotic wildlife industry in America a billion-dollar industry. And why was the giraffe's death more tragic than that of the cows that are normally fed to those lions?

No matter where you are you can see life, death, beauty and ugliness. And not just food, but also water and land. "It's shocking that anyone would take joy or pleasure in killing a beautiful and graceful animal like a giraffe," said Iris Ho, who tracks trophy hunting  at Humane Society International. This bizarro stance on death is not an American trait. They are gentle and docile animals but if attacked they will defend themselves with their front feet. Then he is more than just lion food and that is a good thing.

I wouldn't mind MY own carcass being fed to carnivores actually, when I croak, but not before my time, and then I understand WHY it wouldn't be done, for all the same reasons mentioned above. Dogs want to BE people, and seem to feel utterly as the neglected child if they are not included as family. The cost to hunt giraffe in South Africa for the 2020 South African hunting season is $ 2 550. An Arabian oryx is $9,500; a sitatunga antelope, $12,000; and a black wildebeest, $15,000. The current dialogue appears to have created what I consider a terrible dichotomy on consumer's take on all food not just meat. The legal devices being used by Republican's to challenge election results, How tragedy shaped man poised to be America's new president: After a life dogged by family trauma and political failure, Joe Biden - a used car salesman's son from Pennsylvania - closes in on the White House, Alabama voters approve amendment to rid its 119-year-old Constitution of racist language that banned mixed-race marriage and mandated school segregation, Biden's odds to win the election hit all-time high of 87% after securing Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump leads Biden by 2.6 points in Pennsylvania with 89% of votes counted - and the final results may not come until Friday, Trump leads Biden in North Carolina by 1.2% with 94% of the votes counted - but election officials say the results will not be known for another WEEK. Not just for the life of animals (which is a good thing) but also for the environment, humanity, and our own health. Oh, and if any AR groups want to troll me (again)...we're spraying sheep for external parasites tomorrow.
