In reply to the discussion: Rhino Hunting Permit up for Grabs at Auction [View all]hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)36. If they are "hunting" an old male
If they've already chosen the one or ones to be killed, it's not going to be much of a "hunt" in my opinion. The government will take the winner out on safari to ambush an old and no longer useful animal. My, that takes a lot of skill, right???!!!
Why not just follow the old guy until he dies naturally, and then cut his head off, mount it on the fireplace, and tell vivid stories about the dangerous trek that was the hunt?
That's all these stupid hunts are good for anyway. Some rich asshole telling tales to his rich buddies to make himself (or herself) feel big.
