I have just had a huge row with what I thought was a friend. Basically he has booked a trip on an African safari whereby he will be hunting elephants, lions and other beautiful creatures. Obviously, it will not be on protected reserves and the company state they will only kill elderly animals or "the alpha male" so the herd/pack etc will thrive to populate. Also they are stating that hunting is good for the environment as it ironically assists the eco-system.

Now, as you may know I am an animal lover but I do hunt. However, I vehemently maintain that I have never killed anything I or a colleague would not eat. I have shot a few dears, and to be honest i was a little upset as they too are majestic animals. However, it was on land where they are bred for meat, and I am not a vegetarian. Likewise, venison is lovely and I am a crack shot so the animals did not suffer.

I will state, I am anti-snare traps and baiting. And fox-hunters can rot in hell as far as I am concerned.

So my long-winded point is, how can I convince my "friend" that this �7000 safari hunt is morally wrong. Also how can anybody enjoy shooting a giraffe or a lion for mere pleasure?

I shall not post a link but if you put in safari hunt in google images you will see beautiful animals slain being exhibited after.


let the animals roam free and wild.

Convince me otherwise.

old debate lucky8.

Pedo is quite correct (as is paedo)
You think I am whiffey lol

I think whiffey can stand on her own two feet!!

isn't strange how you can find something to hurl at anybody!! but it really does make you look so childish when you need to insult their church, their homeland, their sexuality, even their family just to try to justify the vileness you spill out, I'm sure these people you hurl abuse at would be really hurt if any of it was true!!

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me. remember that from your school days wardy!! It still applies today!! now grow up!!

Question Author
peasant, what are your aims at directing advice at me??

May I suggest you read my question. Read where the insult came from first and read it is chronological order. In other words just read the thread and stop jumping on what ever bandwagon you think it is.

I feel so popular with people like you on here. I thank you whiffey.


Question Author
PS you are quite right. It is vile to love and respect wild animals. So vile and so wrong.
You love and respect wildlife and shoot it to put food on you table!! How you must have suffered killing those poor deer against all your principles.

I didn't think that things were so tight that you needed to hunt to feed yourself!!

Hypocrite!!!

Fool!!!

i dont belive in hunting and cudnt eat anything if i killed it or watchd it die, it would put me of eating meat havin seen its face...

neway, abt ur question, as a last atempt to stop ur friend ..?.. u should send him a large basket ful of cute n cuddly toys of elefants, girafes, lions, hipos etc .... stick in a card sayin something like" do you really want to kill these?hope you can live with it " :((
i'm sure he'll hav second thouggts
Question Author
But it is OK to kill elephants for pleasure then is it?

If you have nothing better to say than insult that isn't insulting or argument that isn't argumentative, I fail to see your existence on here as anything other than superfluous, unfunny meaningless chat.

Remember the next time you eat meat, it suffered, because I doubt you will have the funds to buy organic, free range produce or kill yourself.


Question Author
well thank you namie for your advice. He has children so I envisgae he has plenty of cuddly toys. Nice idea though.
Minter, you are struggling, and with each successive post you look sillier and sillier. Maybe you should revert to wishing death to babies and cancer to the rest of us, just like old times. Your pseudo-gentility posts fool nobody.
Question Author
Struggling?? Sorry I did not realise it was a fight.

Whether struggling or not, I am so up myself I am sitting here in a rather nice pad thinking I am winning whatever you are trying to ignite.

So I guess it doesn't really matter does it.

Whiffey why do you come on here as a 13 year old girl who gets turned on when she is kissed by older men?

You see, that is what you said, just like I wish cancer on people.

bkjwnrv;o wn4gohk.unvo'iw4 wi4 g o4jg[o g a real sign of struggle eh, i write gobbledegook.
Yes Minter, which 13 year old girl is that ? Just how pi$$ed are you, you strange very nasty person ?

Question Author
and without trying to emulate you, where, preytell, have I wished cancer on people or death to babies without justification?

You see whiffey. Being a kiddy pervo has tainted your memory. You are so consumed with your evil and quite sick thoughts and actions, you have suffered.
And you man (or woman) are as pi$$ed as a fart, out of your tiny brain, methinks, preytell, you silly bag of pretentious wind. Go to bed and sleep it off.
Question Author
There is no pretence about my accumulated wealth Whiffey. Going to work tomorrow are you? Be safe in the knowledge that I will be sitting on my rather pert bottom and earning more than you whilst doing nothing.

I rarely resort to such infantile statements like the above, but with somebody so darn jealous of me, I deemed it necessary this time.

Whiffey, enjoy your Lotus. Perhaps one day, you too could afford a decent car. I am sure hairdressing is very lucrative.
wardy, we have all seen the inhuman things you write on here so don't try saying you have any feelings for any animal when you cant even show the slightest bit of humanity to another human, you are nothing short of an animal yourself.

and if whiffey has said all this stuff, why not post a link to it, I have never seen anything unpleasant from whiffey
Question Author
peasant that's because he posts as different names.

Anyway, you are quite boring really. Bring on some decent insult or just start another rather unfunny thread about me.

You seem to lack "thrustos" in your AB membership. try being a little more energetic in your writing stlye. The Ken Barlow of AB is not a cool thing.
Here Minter, here is a yet bigger spade for you. Methinks, preytell.

I just drive a Ford Anglia with wide wheels a go fast stripe on the roof and a fluffy dice hanging on the mirror not forgetting the screw on chrome tailpipe.
I missed that by a whisker.

Which other names do I post under Minter ? You'd better summon all your supreme gentlemanly intelligence before you answer. So, off you go, let's be having some actual names.



never in my life have i read such a load of $hite
where axactly can you hunt elephants????
what planet are you from?????

more like crackpot!!!
