Few things ive noticed....really how do we or can one really tell if they have a conscience or not? They certainly are a nusence in some areas, and I believe almost all of the meat is used by local villages who are rarely eating meat, so certainly a good source of nutrition to them.

I don't see any moral problem with taking an elephant vs a deer etc...because they may or may not have a conscience, isnt' thta what they claim seperates humans from anaimals, animals operate on purely instincts vs, thinking/rational? personally I think humans are just another animal on the face of the earth, most likely the most intelligent I would argue to say.

I do hear time and time again about hunters who are "less fortunate" than those "more fortunate". While some may be born with more to start etc...at some point there comes a time when you're responsible for yourself and youre own future and well being. If it was only money that one saught money is certainly possible to make. I think its much more easy to put down someone who's wealthier as being born with a silver spoon, than it is to admit that maybe they worked harder/smarter than the guy who simply takes his 9-5 job and makes his 50k/year.

If my goal in life was to hunt elephants in africa and I need to make 100k/year to do so, I would do so, not be miserable for not having the money to and put those who can down for being able to. Now I don't live in lala land either, and I know its possible, but never said easy, but with the drive and knowledge/plan to earn money, you certainly are able to make agreat living in this country. I really think most americans are content and happy just kinda living in life, not really striving for more, they're happy enough with the family and friends, and their salary, and have accepted the fact that they will never hunt elephants, because they simply are content with where they stand in society and where that place is, is one that doesnt allow them to hunt elephants.
