What would you do for a million dollars? That is the opening
line to this article. This article talks about how a women goes on a safari
with the intentions to kill. She ends up killing a giraffe with a high-powered
rifle. The giraffe was not attacking her but minding its own busy eating from a
tree at the time it got shot. After she had killed the giraffe she then poses
very proudly with the corpse with a huge smile on her face. The organization
that post this type of pictures is called Animal Shame. Most is these type hunts
are hosted on South African reserve. The type of hunting where one kills an innocent
animal and takes such glorious pictures is called trophy hunting.
Throughout the course of this semester I have devoted my discussion
board to how countries around the world have been increasing their efforts to
protect animals. This week article just goes to show that in some counties they
have a long way to go when it comes to animal rights. The animals that are
being killed are being killed for no reason at all. They were not trying to
hurt anyone or anything but as mentioned before they were minding their own
business. This is completely unacceptable. As one may think, it takes no skill
or strength to pull a trigger and take a life. So what joy do you receive? No animal
should have to lose their life just so a human can take a “cool” picture.
