Cnn trophy

[Sitting Bull]

Just a thumbs up . CNN will be showing a documentary on trophy hunting this coming Sunday night 9pm (assuming eastern time). I caught a quick clip today regarding some guy states side who has a variety of african animals on his land and you can pay to hunt. Obviously the reporting was not favourable.
I would imagine Sunday's show will be slanted in it's reporting.

Reading thru the article, it's easy to pick up on CNN's slant on trophy hunting. What ever happened to unbiased news reporting? I honestly feel we are in for an ugly battle on the horizon with these anti hunting groups. I still blame social media, most people were unaware this hunting was even going on, now its plastered all over the web. Not good!

Globalists views vs Nationalist views. Globalists believe government should be leading the country. Nationalists believe the people should be leading the country. This is the argument.

How is CNN still in business?

Social media is a cancer for many things .

Guys this actually may be worth watching. The Antis hate it as well.

This is the directors interview. http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018...-berman-nr.cnn

Watch it all.

From that interview it looks like it might be a decent, somewhat unbiased approach.
It's sensible to consider that managed trophy hunting will prevent some of these animals from being wiped out entirely.

I don't know if this topic will carry across to hunting in North America, because this approach, if implemented here, could likely wipe out hunting being accessible to the general population.

I'm not sure the average citizen in some of these countries, can just go buy a general tag, and access public (or private) lands like we enjoy here.

That having been said, if this show makes a few antis see the concept of hunting in a different light, I'm all for it.

That's the way we're headed anyways I think.

Saddest part of the Africa thing, which I suspect will be a big talking point in this documentary, is that without big money hunts and hunters, game ranches, etc, there likely would not be many animals left in large parts of Africa. Many exist because of these hunts. Not in spite of them. Monies generated from hunting have to replace that which is earned from poaching for the long term.

You do mean a heads up don't you? I sort of always thought thumbs up meant some sort of approval?

I will attempt to keep an open mind till I view the documentary.

Your right I meant heads up not thumbs up.
