LOL, hunters

[bitspike]

I thought I'd share two hunting related articles I came across today.

The first is from the Sydney Morning Herald (referred to by liadlaith): Hunter buys zoo's endangered antelope

For the linkphobic, or those who just don't want the SMH to earn the advertising revenue [I just edited the link so it now directs to the same article on the Animals Australia

WTF is wrong with Dubbo Zoo??? Are you serious? How could they sell an animal to a hunter??

[mindfulness]

I sure hope they didn't know the 'reserve' was a hunting reserve.

[alyssa22]

You'd think they'd look into the background of the person they were selling the animals to. That's just crazy. The animals should be confiscated. Actually, this idiot should be deported to one of those countries that thinks this sort of reserve is normal, because you can bet most Australians would be disgusted with his ideas.

Taronga Zoo I would understand, but I assumed Dubbo had a little more class than that.

[vegetus]

Aren't Dubbo and Taronga controlled by the same group?

[bitspike]

Quite possibly.

I guess what I meant was that I know Taronga has a history of unethical practices and I just wanted to give Dubbo the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps I'm overly optimistic?
