anyone who thought that the hunting going on was wrong is a muppet.
It's no different to breeding animals for food.
at the end of the day, through those means they were preserving the life of species of animals by doing it in a controlled and regulated way.

I agree.
Anyone who eats meat can't complain.

well no, what a silly statement to make.
i watched the program and understood the message at the end and learnt from it etc.
but i no way can you compare this to people eat meat. For 1 they dont eat the meat, there hunting for FUN and THRILLS and trophys.

Did you not watch the fucking program? They give the meat from the animals to local poor villages. They're feeding african people for FREE, paid for by the sport of the american's hunting.
As the bloke said, it was all done in a far far more humane way than any slaughter house that breeds, packages and sells food for supermarkets.
Louis Theroux is just a soft twat at the end of the day.

you're probably one of those people that'd prefere things to be tested on humans than animals 
People like you are off your trolley you need a reality check.

I don't get a 'boner from hunting animals either'
My dad has a range of guns, and shoots animals, but i choose not to. I just feel 'if it's not doing anything bad to me, I don't think i should kill it'
but at the end of the day, I can see why he does it, why it isn't wrong to be doing it.
He gets paid by the land owners to kill off the wildly over populated areas of some animals. At the same time he does a sport he enjoys. The things he kills either he eats or he sells to someone who sells the meat / eats it.
I don't see what the problem in that is? nothing is being wasted, the land owners land is getting trashed by the animals, my dad gets enjoyment for the challenge.

yeh i understand what your saying, I think the red neck american's who just want to pay to have a animal placed infront of them so they can shoot it and take the head home as a trophey are twats. I do agree
I was just defending the people who actually run the thing, as most were farmers but made no money from it, essentially this business is no different to farming for them - but gets them a lot more money.
Personally these people going there to shoot a animal that is literally placed infront of them to shoot - is the equiv of people doing a 'driving experience' day in a lot of ways. They get home with their certifcate and photo and tell all their mates they 'raced a ferrari 355 or single seater and that they were the quickest all day etc'.
The reality is, it's a business, it's designed to make the person paying feel like a driving god, despite the car's being limited, them not allowed to truely push it and probably be able to be overtaken by a standard car being driven properly.
Similar market. (ok in the latter animals aren't dying for it) but I get the impression those red necks would go home mount those 'trophies' on their wall and show all their hunting buddies, I killed a x,y,z despite there being no challenge or hunting involved.
I was more defending the companies that provide the activity, because it's their livelyhood and I feel they were doing it in the most respectful way possible (i.e. animals aren't mis treated and get to live a life in a large free area (unlike battery farming being stuck in cages). ok so they will die one day, but so will everything and one, and in the wild they'd possibly be eaten by a lion, so it's no different being shot by a human, providing the levels of population of the animal are regulated and endangered species aren't being killed.
