I have a friend that's been on safari, and to a few game reserves. On the reserves he wasn't allowed to use a gun because it would startle and upset the animals. He used a compound bow, but he said some of the other people there used crossbows. And absolutely none of the animal was wasted.

I won't say that it's a good thing, but when the alternative is destroying entire habitats to grow tobacco... having a few westerners show up and pay huge prices to shoot a few exotic animals isn't really that bad. If the social and political climate in a lot of African countires continues going the way it's going, it could very well end up that the only "wild" zebras are the ones being kept on private game reserves.

In Africa on Safari 100% of everything you kill is used. About 99% is eaten by the locals. As soon as you kill an animal and it's down a team of locals butcher it and it magically starts to be hauled off by dozens.

Let's not forget locals there are not allowed to own guns. They must get a permit and only certain ones are allowed to even be gun bearers. If you have to take a leak you can't just hand your gun to anyone on the safari (say a tracker), they must be allowed and licensed to hold your gun for 2 minutes.

Guns are for the military and guerilla fighters there. Same for camo clothes. You are not allowed to bring camo into most countries in Africa because it is reserved for the military are used illegally by the guerillas fighting the military. Even my bow I had to send off and be de-camo'd and powder coated flat black before I could take it into Africa.

The locals are very happy when a group of hunters roll in because they know it's feeding time.

Once, I was out deer hunting. I was using a 300mag, very powerful rifle, would have basically pulped wherever it hit.

I had a nice whitetail lined up perfectly about 100 yards out. Suddenly, I had a urge to resist and not kill this beautiful animal, so I waited. I put my gun down and looked through my spotting scope.

The deer seemed to turn and look at me, and thank me for not inflicting such a horrible gunshot wound and death. Really a 300mag is like a sniper rifle.

So as I stood watching it through the spotting scope, I realized I didn't need to hunt or kill animals anymore. I stood and watched the deer for a few more minutes, and saw a Mountain Lion pounce on it from above and bite it's throat, ripping the fresh and arteries, blood spurting at least 10 feet. The deer sort of flailed and made some weird noises, but the Mountain Lion just kept ripping and ripping at it's neck. Eventually, it stopped moving and the cat started eating it's abdomen.

I see now. You're one of those people that looks for reasons to be offended. It must be frustrating to go through life like that.

Once, my wife brought home our new born child.

Later that night as my wife slept the child began to cry. I went to the crib and noticed how delicious it looked. I figured the arm would have a good bit of meat, kind of like a chiken wing. As I reached for the arm the child grabbed my finger, stopped crying and smiled.

Suddenly I had an urge not to eat my child. It looked back at me and seemed to thank me for not eatting it.

Later that night our pet gerbil ate all of her young.

Mac guy. A good percentage of a successful working environment is being able to stand the person you work with.

PC man looks like a total gimp.

Full disclosure, I dress like a complete slob for work and I have an office job. Government one, at that. I've had a running bet about how long I could go without a haircut since January, and they haven't said a word. During grad school I showed up in my pajamas on thesis defense week. All they did was tell me that my bathrobe made me look like harry potter.

But I hate Macs.
