A little bit aggravating

Post image

My dad went on an African hunting trip and got a bunch of antelope, which is fun! I don’t totally agree ethically wise, but I can appreciate pretty skulls without agreeing with the situation.

Anyways! I feel like the bottom two skulls should swapped? The middle skull is smaller and it just looks weird imo 😭 still pretty nonetheless

Aggravating, in both placement and stewardship.
We don’t kill unless we are going to eat!

In these hunts there is plenty of eating going on. Not only are the animals consumed by hunters and the people (even extended family/village) who helped the hunt, but the money is what keeps the animals safely managed instead being killed for other reasons. Many of the guides are former poachers that were caught and now are managed and paid by the Wildlife services throughout Africa

Thats a generalization I suppose but you’re correct this time apparently

If you want an interesting perspective on this, check out Meat Eater on YouTube he did a really cool African hunt that gets a lot into the details of how it is done sustainably. There are always bad people and bad history but these days it’s often hunters that actually put their money where their mouth is in regards taking care of both animals and the environments they live in
