Ugly stuff in Namibia, the country with the seal hunting that no one talks about because so few know about it (I mean who thinks about seal hunting in Namibia?) The journalists, who were working on assignment with Dutch lobby group Bont voor Dieren were violently attacked by seal hunters before being detained by police.

I remember the guide on my first Kenyan birding safari remarking that “birding groups always see far more mammals than those who come just to see animals. I viewed them at dusk, through a telescope, from a ridge overlooking the area they were hunting. Only in Africa is it really easy to see a big variety.

The Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act , which went into effect seventy-nine years ago on July 1, 1934, authorized the annual issuance of what is popularly known as the Duck Stamp. In 1976, Congress changed the official name to the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp , presumably to broaden its appeal to non-hunters.

Lions hunt in prides. They can’t travel in groups. They’re solitary animals because you can’t travel in groups if you use ambush methods. So, if tigers really aren’t that much bigger, then it’s safe to say that they’re just as good at, if not better, than lions at hunting when it comes to a pound-per-pound ratio.

I am not anti-hunting. The “Crow Down” is a “hunting contest” where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days. Obviously killing contests have nothing to do with traditional hunting, and “animal abuse” is normally used when describing domestic animals. This is baloney.
