I really find it quite discouraging to have you guys ganging up one me! Just like you would like for people to be open to your ideas, I would appreciate the same in return. First of all, in my first posting, I did say that I was not familiar with African hunting and that my perspective was based only on what I have seen in magazines, none of which described the things that you have. I am glad to hear that the meat is used for food security in the country. This means that the animal is being used not only for its beauy-hides, tusks, etc, but also benefitting the people that live in the area. I am open to new perspectives and appreciated learning about the use of the animals meat. However, I find it very unfortunate that people like the both of you, are so stuck in your mindsets that you cannot see anything from others perspectives. You have judged and slandered(Wacko)just because I was open enough to voice my thoughts, in hopes that I might learn more about African hunting. Well I have learned more alright! Some people are narrow minded and can't see past themselves!!!!!
