Louis Theroux's African Hunting Holiday

[Bazile]

Just watching the above

Animals bred on private game farms , for people to go out and shoot .

Something disturbing about it , in my view

Just doesn' t seem right .

What's your views ?

[Mozz71]

Didn't watch. Don't like killing animals for sport. To me, that's just plain wrong.

[wolf63]

I agree with Mozz, but I can also understand why people might be attracted to hunting wild animals in the wild.

Canned hunting is very wrong. It would be like hunting your cat or dog in the house. The animal is trapped and has no chance of escaping or evading the gunman. It is a sickening hobby.

[david small]

Bred to kill, somewhat like farming.

[Canary42]

Shooting fish in a barrel for "fun". Barbaric.

[emmie]

not right at all, a barbaric practice.

[rockyracoon]

It’s abhorrent

[burlyshirley1]

It isn't right, it's morally wrong. Just more proof for me what scumbags a lost of the human race are ...

[burlyshirley1]

^ 'lot'

[naomi24]

Killing for sport? Just no.

[emmie]

BS, perhaps a few who probably have them mounted as trophies. disgusting.

[Hazlinny]

It's so cruel.

[emmie]

yes it is cruel,

[tiggerblue10]

It's sick!

[KUSTARD]

Was a bit doubtful about even reading this post. I won't even watch any nature or vets programmes in case something happens to an animal!!!!!

[roopower]

I hate the idea. Ive seen photos of hunters with their trophy be it a lion, giraffe or zebra grinning all over their face, sometimes quite young children and a lot of them American. If the Americans want to shoot something perhaps they could shoot each other, oh hold on................. Perhaps in a wildlife setting and juat the onez who want to!

[MissTerious]

It's done here, rearing game birds just to have fun shooting them, which is appalling.

It's not like farming, David .Farming is breeding for food not sport and as long as farming is done responsibly and humanely then to me there is no problem. Humans are tailored to be omnivorous. Animals eat other animals and we are animals.

[windywillow]

I think it's disgusting, IMO a perverted pleasure.

[MissTerious]

I can't watch programs like that either.

I love Roo's answer.

[MissTerious]

And there is me ...... mortified if I step on a spider or a snail etc.

MissTerious, I don't shoot but I do eat game birds. I fill up my freezer with pheasant and partridge during the season. My butcher sells lots of them as do most butchers where I live. Very good eating.
