THE hunting of lions and other big cats bred in captivity purely to be shot will be outlawed under legislation due to come into force in South Africa next year.
The law will also forbid the killing of tranquillised animals or in any environment that gives hunters an unfair advantage.

Plenty. In this country its a national pastime, expecially in Tasmania, where the amount of rednecks with guns is positively terrifying. These people have small brains, with a part of it missing, and they require the feeling of power they aquire when they kill a defenceless animal with a weapon. They are retards. The killing of any animal for fun, or "sport" is backward and should be outlawed.
