I dont really see what all the fuss about mark Sullivan is about. I agree with him fully, although I do think some of the dialogue is a bit over dramatic. As for as ethics go, arnt we as responsible hunters supposed to end the suffering as soon as possable? So in that case wouldnt it be more ethical to immediately follow up a wounded animal instead of leaving him be for an extended period of time so he can "stiffen up"? The practice of leaving them alone for a while came around as a safety percaution, IMHO. So to put him down because he gets a kick out of humanely killing the animal and at the same time gives these noble creatures the chance to fight back is silly to me. And I have never seen or heard anything that would lead me to believe that he intentionally gut shoots anything. And it cant be argued that he can find good trophies. As for shooting the animal himself, people book with him because they want an experience like that and if they cant handle it (which im sure most cant) its his job as a PH to prevent them from harm. Most of the people grumbling about him are jelous I think. |
