MBRF- Just for the record I would like to say that I didn't call you uneducated, I said your opinion was uneducated, and it was. You openly addmitted that you didn't know much about African hunting. Maybe you should have asked how the system works before looking down your nose at those who take part in it. It is obvious that at least a good portion of the meat from the animals shot over there is utilized, that is a good thing. I, like you, do not take any great pleasure in shooting game that I don't intend to eat, but that doesn't mean that legaly shooting game solely for sport is wrong. Thousands of hunters here in the US plink at prairie dogs and chase coyotes, but you would be hard pressed to find a good recipe for either critter. Just because you don't think it's right to hunt animals you don't intend to eat doesn't mean it's not ok to do so, as long as it's legal. Personally I could never go on a bear hunt with dogs. To me it just doesn't seem fair, but for some it's perfectly exceptable. I don't think these hunters are unethical, I just think they're different than me, and that's fine. As hunters, there are so many people and groups who are against us, the last thing we need is to have fighting among each other. Remember, you and I are on the same team!
