re: #97 Killgore Trout

That ranch only keeps them because people like uncle ted are willing to pay to kill them. Without the money from the canned hunts the ranch would have no reason to keep them at all.

Hey, let me just go ahead and repeat my last post:

I’m not sure you get that people are making fun of Nugent for a canned hunt, and not for being mean to the poor li’l Oryx.

If you’re saying that these canned hunters are actually doing the world good because more Oryx are bred because people want to shoot them, it’s pretty stupid. If the goal is “MAXIMIZE NUMBER OF ORYXes” then, sure, but the goal should be to stabilize their habitat and re-introduce them to the wild.

Even if this ranch is some ultracool place that uses the profits it makes from canned hunts to fund habitat restoration and re-introduction of the Oryx in Africa, that’d make the ranch cool, not the canned hunters.
