WARNING: THIS POST HAS DISTRESSING DETAILS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY BY LOWLIFE SCUMBAGS
This is Millionaire Banker, Tory Advisor and member and supporter of Countryside Alliance Sir David Scholey.
He is one of many wealthy individuals who are willing to
spend in excess of £60,000 for the privilege of shooting a lion in South
Africa.
These lions are bred to be shot in so called canned hunting
operations which have grown significantly in South Africa over the last decade.
They breed the lions from cubs often bringing in tourist to play and walk with
them boasting on their conservation work. The young animals are then prepared
to be released into shooting areas where they will be brought out via meat
baits in front of the guns of so called trophy hunters. In many cases the
shooters will have been drinking and will blast wounding the animal many times
before it’s killed.
Some operations even allow the use of high powered bow and
arrows to kill lions. To make matters worse the hunt operations will provide
the head and skin of the lion for use as a rug and a wall trophy and keep the
bones which they will then sell into the Asian medicine trade at great profit.
This trade is leading to a huge increase in the poaching of wild lions across
Africa (little over 200,000 left).
None of this seems to worry Mr Scholey who seems very proud
of his kill. The Countryside Alliance and US National Rifle Associations are very
happy for their members to participate in these trophy hunts despite the
obvious cruelty and its impact on the future of a threatened species.
Here's what the creep told The Sun:
"I have been hunting all over the world for many, many
years and I have always hunted within the legal arrangements of the country
concerned. I regard that as an entirely personal matter.
 |
| The good guy lost this particular battle; the savage won. Pity. |
"The lion I killed certainly wasn't an endangered
species where I was hunting it."
Next time the Countryside Alliance start attacking the RSPCA
don't forget to ask them when will they throw out African trophy hunters from
their membership like David Scholey.
