Just read this article online in the Republikein.... I know it brings foreign currency to the country...but look at the size of these beast..... what a majestic animal..what a waste....

  .....What an absolute disgrace..... 

[Bertie Horak]

Totally unnecessary, and he'll probably tell people he's a hunter?   Bull - he had a vehicle, gun, etc to mow down a defenseless animal.  Coward!  If he wanted to prove his manhood by killing the beast, we should put them together in a cage and see who survives!  I have absolutely no respect for trophy hunters, simply cowards hiding behind technology with no balls!  Makes me sick!

[Michael Alexander]

Why don't they just use a dart gun, what the beast, put it out.....take your massive photo... and then run!

Bertie, I could not have said it better!  I accept hunting ....  if it is for the right purpose  -  to use the meat to eat.  These dumb .. &%)@*)s  stuff that animal  -  what for.  The way I look at this lepoard is that he most likley was the prime male in the area  -  now they upset the whole nature thing by allowing a male with maybe not so good gene pool to mate with the females  ....  Ag, I could carry on for hours.....   Makes me want to puke to see things like this.

All true comments .. what these trophy hunter idiots trying to prove .. cull them  ......  as Daleen said by all means hunt for food , but thats where it should end ...

Lets shoot the hunter and stuff his head and put in on the wall at the back of a long drop. BASTARD hope he rots in hell!!!!!!!!!!

Better still I hope the rooikatte and jackals eat all of the f@#%^&*g farmers lambs, sheep and goats and his bloody wife.

Anyone remember Mike Wittett (GM) whose passion was shooting game?  I recently heard from someone that he went to the Arctic somewhere to shoot a polay bear - sigh!

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

He was in town not so long ago - on his way to Meob I think! Mike chatted to him, so he might know more!

[Michael Alexander]

The Polar bear story was back in the early 90's....

Mike came back to town last year...then awoke me from my slumber to open the shop at 10hoo cause he needed fresh cream for meob bay trip....in return he had to shower with me with free beer at the angling club that night.,.... little did he realize how much beer this Namibian can consume.....        

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

The free beer was because you're the son-in-law of his favourite secretary - that's why!

[Clive Symes]

I have no problem with anyone hunting for food and actually enjoy venison.

The indigenous people had a real relationship with the wild animals and only killed to eat or prove their manhood & courage.

I say if you want to hunt Lion & leopards etc, do so on foot, on your own and with only a bow or a spear and lets see how many of there "hunters" then have the balls to to take up the challenge

So Mike, this shower you took with the GM ("in return he had to shower with me with free beer at the angling club that night.,.... ")Who's idea was that?!?!

[Michael Alexander]

You're just jealous, coz no GM wanted tp shower with you!
