Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn't. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn't ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they're are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I ~~fear~~ know something glorious has happened
... this is Trekkie bait, don't take it....
You're just salty that Dumbledore got to help rid the world of that evil ring while others flew around in their Iron Man suits!
I never saw Harry Potter but I know that's where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.
As long as they don’t go ill the animal later anyway. Big cats that kill peoples seem to get table down and killed in most stories I hear.
Hunting isn't always a bad thing, in fact it can be a huge part of keeping healthy populations of animals, just read an article in the Audabon magazine last night that talked about snow geese and how their numbers have increased to the point they are destroying their environment and that even increasing hunting numbers at this point hasn't made a dent. Many big game animal hunting can be great for the area they are in, so long as it's done responsibly and reasonably. And most hunters know the risks, it's part of the hunt. There are few that don't, and most are in favor of wildlife management so they can continue this in the future.
