I would like to shoot him for fun.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Agreed. Worse than scum.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Saw that on Yahoo news, I think, yesterday. Truly obscene. Trophy hunting should be outlawed worldwide.

Some of you on here don't believe in two wrongs making a right, or even violence as a form of retribution, but this man could only really learn from being smacked around the head with the rifle he used to 'dispatch the animal'. ******.

 

[Roxy]

Could'nt agree more with all the above.
How anyone could want to shoot such animals for 'fun' and on a so called 'holiday' is beyond my comprehension.
How this can be legal entertainment in 2011 is so very wrong.
Would like to meet Mr. Scholey and give him a taste of 'shooting for fun' to see how he enjoys it.

Having been to Kenya and been very close to these animals in the wild...they are such wonderful parents and truly remarkable creatures....I know who is the animal in this case.

this old **** needs his walking stick shoved right up his fat arse.

Louis theroux did a show about big game hunting parks in south Africa. You pay according to the game you shoot. Nice :(. However I love horse racing so perhaps I'm being a bit hypocritical.

I work in a bank and am horrified someone could shoot a lion for 'sport'.Shooting gorillas to make ashtrays from their paws is however a legitimate reason to pull the trigger in my opinion and dimping ones cigar in a gorilla hand ashtray is one of life's little luxuries I couldn't do without.

Couldn't agree more. If you want an element of sport about it, shoot the lion cubs instead: they are a much smaller and therefore more taxing target. What's sporting about shooting something that's 8 foot by 4 foot and spends most of it's time sleeping?

No need to bring Rusty into this debate.:smiles:

I'm intrigued, do people really get a buzz from it? I'd feel nothing but shame, guilt and embarrassment. If money were no object, I'd find something better to do with it.

They had a chap on radio 5 this morning trying to justify the hunting of wild animals. He claimed that man is a predator, so should be allowed to hunt animals, and that hunting is about conservation (not sure how that works?). Anyway, apparently there are around 20,000 lions in the wild, which seems a lot, but only 2,500 are males that are capable of mating.

According to the woman who wanted hunting banned, if it was made illegal to import trophies into Europe and America in particular, less people would want to do it because they'd have nothing to show for.

There is zero excuse for killing animals for fun....he is a millionaire..go and spunk some money in Monaco for kicks.

Fully agree, but let him do it without a gun, should even it up a bit.

As I'm sure you'll understand Cricko, I find this worse than most!

The useless coward would run a mile.

Truly awful specimen of a man

You are being generous there Phil.I would truly like to this man suffer for what he did.Hopefully his lifestyle and money now this is public will go down the toilet for one.

Ok to kill foxes though!
