  Yeah I believe that

  That’s one major criticism of Steve Irwin, he used to wrestle and get in the face of dangerous animals.

  I’m not actually sure of how it happened but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was messing around with it.

  All this being said, I do believe he was a genuine, caring, lovely guy who was obsessed with conservation. Him dying was a real loss

  Yeah I totally agree with you. I’m just saying that problem is not specific to hunting animals. Wealth inequality finds its way into most parts of life. But yeah I’m with you

  I find this discussion really interesting.

  The other night i watched Loius Theroux’s African Hunting Party documentary where he goes to Africa and interviews Americans who pay big money to kill wild animals. Some of them endangered i believe. The money made from it goes into conservation to ensure these species are kept alive to keep the whole thing going.

  I remember years ago there was a guy who killed a rhino on one of these hunts. People went mental about it. Turns out that rhino was killing baby rhinos and was itself depopulating the already small population of rhino. He paid $350,000 to do it too. Radiolab did a great episode on it here

  I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 or so years. I doubt i will ever eat meat again and i most certainly will not eat factory farmed meat every again. In the film, the hunters ask the question “is this worst than buying meat from the supermarket?”. Honestly, i dont think it is, the virtually live in freedom untill they are killed. The conditions of factory farmed animals is much much worse. Im not likely to pick up a gun and start hunting myself anytime soon (unless its a pest) but i thought its an interesting conversation to have.

  I don’t think it’s a problem to be honest. The issue is the untreated anxiety. Are you able to get some support for that?

  I wouldn’t no. There’s only afew things he could ever do to justify those words, and even then, what purpose would it serve?
