Piers Clashes With Big Game Hunter as Northern White Rhino Nears Extinction | Good Morning Britain
Diggory Hadoke does a good job fronting up for a TV interview with serial bully Piers Morgan and co. A guy that loves his own voice and many questions with the usual reversal to allow answers.

I don't know who that Morgan guy is but he's clearly an ignorant, ill informed ass. The hunter did a good job unfortunately it's nearly impossible to change people's minds when they're so convinced in their own righteousness.

Morgan is a low life piece of excrement in my book. I recon you could hold up a piece of white paper, tell him it is white and he would argue that it is black.

A good example of why Jeremy Clarkson punched Piers Morgan. He is an absolute idiot.

I am no fan of Diggory Hadoke and some of his onlin views and comments. But credit to him fronting up to a TV interview and doing in the circumstances a reasonable job defending and explaining sporting hunting.
Hard to do in the "UK environment" of extreme anti views, where even a lot of "class conscious" hunters/shooters are anti to trophy hunting, sport hunting, hunting in Africa, etc etc etc. Even some big name 'hunters' who should know a lot better deride it, and convenintly and hypocritically forget their own actions, hunts, photos and online stories ... I could name names and have in the past. 
Hadoke does have some nerves and trouble in his comments, but again credit due, TV interviews with arsehole anti TV "personalities" is not easy for untrained people. Does explain sustainable, managed conservation hunting, difference between hunting and poaching etc.
Hard to do an interview with an narcissitic arsehole who loves his own voice and questions but doesn't care to allow the guest to actually answer. I know when I have dealth with people like this, I eventually just cut in, and say "Why are you asking questions, if you don't allow the answer to be said?" Or "Why invite a guest, if you only want to hear your own questions, and continually interupt the guest?"
But you know, the magic of TV editing, they can edit out what they want, change the order of comments and the film, add in new film etc etc. Always a good idea to have a legal contract getting a copy of all unedited film and sound, plus carry your own voice recorder at the least. Allows film to be challenged later. Either in court, or via your own broadcast on the internet.
Hadoke does miss the point about conservation of rhinos though. Sure enough his comments are probably spot on for "Northern African Rhinos" but hunters play a huge part of Southern Rhino conservation.
