Is there anyone more cowardly than a hunter of trapped animals ? Spain has become a favorite destination for wealthy hunters worldwide who spend up to $ 30,000.00 per day for a canned hunt. The big price is paid because the game is illegal . The animals include tigers, lions, antelope, elephants and other endangered species. The game is transported illegally into Spain from different parts of the world. Some come from zoos. These types of animals are not native to Spain. So the animals can't familiarize themselves with survival knowledge on the fast timetable that is dictated by the commerce of canned hunts. Hunters have high-tech scopes that provide amazing distance kills. Some hunters have silencers on the rifle. With a muffled sound the hunted animal doesn't know it's in someones crosshairs sights if the first shot misses. Consequently it doesn't flee.
Wouldn't it be a better world if the depraved hunter could be exposed to his/her own slaughter and butchery? How about having an equally armed animal rights activist being in the same compound as a wild card possibility? Let's take it a step further. Since the human is not endangered over 6.5 billion at last count, leave the wildlife out of it altogether. Why not have a corporate and/or animal rights sponser post a large purse for a winner-take-all hunting duel ? There could be only two adversaries or teams or hell why not a small army of contestants? A few years ago , a member of the prestigious Royal Society in England suggested that by his calculations there should only be about 600,000,000 million humans that the earth could sustain comfortably. If I fought, I would fight with the animal activists. Who would you fight for? What do you think?
