Answer: Well, nothing really, yet. They just happen to be three of the more popular
keywords, and I hoped that if I used them in a title I’d tempt more of you to read some of the recent posts that have been overlooked according to this blog’s stats.
Why, for instance, did an article about Kendall Jones’ trophy hunting pictures receive over 22,000 reads here, whereas posts about climate change, elk or mute swans have only been looked at by a few dozen?
I’m trying to figure out what makes people tick.
Maybe there just aren’t enough hunting accidents involving trophy hunters to keep people reading, so here’s one that someone made up:
Exposing the Big Game 
That is what is called KARMA !
And to answer the question above – is perhaps we have seen the posts elsewhere and responded to them earlier than this posting. These stories go around and around and many I have seen, responded to and shared earlier.
Karma! Lol!
Trophy hunting is more directly repulsive to people I think and so you get very visceral comments. It is easier to do something about than turning around the runaway train that is climate change. It’s too bad that a small minority is able to control and ensure continuation of trophy hunting, because the majority of people around the world don’t support it, IMO – especially the countries that have such amazing wildlife. The US isn’t going to be one of those countries, unfortunately, at the rate we’re going.
Climate change really should include it’s full title – anthropocentric climate change, removing all doubt as to how this mess came about. But how can anyone take any mention of climate change seriously when the world governments do nothing about it? President Obama spouts lots of nothing, and then quietly opens more offshore area to drilling. There’s really no plan by this Administration except to make the Conservatives look bad so that they won’t lose votes. The Democrats have shifted right, and the Republicans have gone even more right – so there’s not a lot of difference between political parties these days. It’s glaring.
It’s too late to do anything about climate change – our world population is too large and we can’t stop breeding, we are too lazy and selfish to cut back on any of our creature comforts, and we are never going to give up the fossil fuels until every last drop is gone.
Deer, elk, ducks and geese, etc. are amazing animals too, but as long as people are too lazy and selfish to address anthropogenic climate change, I guess there’s no point stressing over a few trophy hunters having their fun on our way out.
Well, yes – but again, our Interior Department approves of blasting away water fowl and creating elk and deer farms to improve the economy, but it is only a last grasping attempt – so instead of stubbornly contributing to our own demise on the planet, and taking everything else with us on the way out – we could work to prevent what is preventable. Climate change, unfortunately, has progressed to far. We’re doing a fine job of harming ourselves, so nobody really needs hunting accidents.
Earlier you mentioned human overpopulation–that’s one major problem that’s preventable.
Jim,
It seems to me, all people care about is money. Those of us who care about the climate and animals are on this blog, reading other blogs or blogging. We are putting for the effort to change. I don’t have Cable. I compost. I garden. I am a vegan. I buy my clothes 2nd hand. I’m doing what I can and yet I look at my friends and family, watching them while they narcotize themselves with reality TV, eating out, Etc… It seems to me, people would rather bury their head in the sand than face what is happening. The reality is just too much for most to grasp. Unfortunately. Of course these same people (who bury their heads) will be the first ones to stand up and say (when shit hits the fan), why didn’t anyone do something to prevent/stop this. 😐
