There are different specialist sites for those who prefer more bizarre, sick and twisted or sadistic methods of killing, such as by remote control on their PC or phone, or by ramming the animal with a jeep, and etc. There are many ‘safari’ internet sites for with galleries of picture upon picture of animals alongside their slayers where people can purchase a ‘tag’ or licence to kill just about any type of animal they choose. For example, there are holidays available in Bolivia, South America, where up to 2,500 purple doves can be shot per day at a cost of $700 a day. Lions, leopards, elephants, rhino, hippos, giraffes, zebra and monkeys are all trophy hunted as are all types of deer and antelope, all varieties of sheep and goats. There are a number of sites on the internet where anyone can buy permits to hunt any particular animal, or hunting holidays with the opportunity to hunt specified animals. Hunters pay anything from around $20,000 to $50,000 for the privilege of ‘hunting’ a lion. So farmed lions are especially bred for the purpose of being shot by hunters in an enclosure in a thoroughly despicable practice called ‘canned hunting’. Almost all the lions in the wild have now been killed either by poachers or by trophy hunters, so that lions are now rarer than jaguars. Lions are favourites, particularly male lions.
Many hunters dream of visiting Africa to hunt one of ‘the big five’.
“Like mindless cancer cells on a frenzied march to kill their host some members of the human species are not content merely with raping this planet for personal gain to the point of breaking down all major life-sustaining ecosystems, they must also cause the death of millions of helpless animals to get their twisted kicks.” – Rick Jones
