    Louis Theroux's african hunting holiday

    Here's a short intro clip from YouTube, of the 7-year-old child of the game farm proprietor shooting a warthog. Is there something obviously wrong with this clip?

    A very interesting but painful documentary to watch. To see those American "hunters" talk about what a rush it was to "overcome" and "outsmart" those creatures was just sickening. Yeah..dude, we're on top of the food chain, were friggin' awesome. Right. You just paid tens of thousands of pounds so that the game farm proprietors could facilitate you putting a bullet through the animal. Little skill involved, no hunt. Exactly like how Louis described it: no more a game than is tennis without a net.

    It was so disheartening, to see them posing with their "trophies", taking photos, the heads being cut off to be hung on walls. So sick. I cannot comprehend how a bloody dead carcass of an Impala can be "beautiful". No I don't see Bambi when I see these animals, but just because they do not have "human" feelings does not mean they have none at all. Humans are so self-righteous!

    And yet it is paradoxical how the industry of killing these exotic animals actually keeps them from extinction and poaching. So who's to say what is right and what is wrong? Is the right end enough to justify the such means? All I know is it doesn't feel any where near right to me.
