Corporate CEO takes part in regulated hunting project to cull non-endangered elephants that threaten native African villages. Poor people's crops are saved, and they eat free-range organic meat for weeks.
Confused liberal angst ensues: poor people didn't starve, but charismatic megafauna were killed for sport by a person with a socially unacceptable combination of external genitalia and inadequate skin pigmentation. Chanting of of the sacred words "privilege" and "imperialism" relieves social anxiety, and life goes on as usual.
Not news. Not worthy of comment.
Unignorable, however, was this comment at Consumerist:
Well maybe people shouldn't be living in areas where their only food is endangered elephants. There are some parts of this world that were just not designed for humans to live, and for him to go and provide this "service" is appalling.
Some parts of the world. Not "designed" for humans to live. Speaking about Africa.
For the love of God and all that is holy, please tell me this dude's just trolling.

ReplyDeleteReally, I wish I could.
My response would be something along the lines of "Hey Mr. TenderHeart, just exactly how many people in Africa have you invited over to live with YOU?"
Lord give me strength. I'd be half-tempted to switch my registrar to GoDaddy just to annoy the hypocrites.

ReplyDeleteIf Mr. Attenborough has expressed a similar sentiment, it's been a case of parallel inspiration.
ReplyDeleteTook a look at the comments, and it diddn't seem to me tha tthe bleeding hearts were having it their own way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice change from the past, and gives me some hope for the future. More people seem to be rolling their eyes at this crap these days.
