Vegetarian=poor hunter...
Vegan=dumb hunter!
I can't imagine the thoughts a vegetarian might have about big game hunting. Although, I would imagine they would not be supportive. MTG

The part I like most about watching "Caught In The Act" on NGW, is when the photo safari tourists say things like, "I just could not look", "I had to close my eyes", "It was heartbreaking", " I can't believe how the (name your predator) ganged up on that poor (name your prey)"....then they all go back to lodge for Prime Rib....

How many hundreds of thousands (or maybe even millions) of dollars do you think the guy in photo #17 has spent to accumulate that collection?

Reading the article, it seems that the Photographer did acknowledge the economic benefit to the villages and conservation. There are some rather unflattering photos though....
