That's it, I started this thread cuz I was bored......and I have nothing to do....now, back to what the thread was really posted for. I posted in hopes of learning why someone would shoot a giraffe, and i found out that people do it for a number of reasons. 1. out the compassion of their heart to help feed a village..2. trophy hunt 3. population control. 4. help the African economy. 5. to combat poaching.. that's it, that's what i came up with, and that's fine, I got my answers, now I have a better outlook on it. Fine, shoot a giraffe, never said you shouldn't, just asked why.
