What would the people of this country do if they couldn't buy and rent houses? Have we any other ideas? I think they should cap the number of houses anyone can have to 1, barring the crossover if selling one and buying another, strictly regulated.

You have been in Africa many times its big business safari hunting.Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostWhat sort of a moron gets their kicks from shooting a lion
Often its in a tiny enclosure and can cost up to 50k.
Its farming and lions are perfect for it.
They eat and then sleep up to 20 hours.
Many of these safaris are on land that is not suitable for agriculture scrub land bush that may only be used for a few goats.
South african land owners can run a business by having shooting safaris and unfortunately rare and exotic animals get killed for trophys the rarer the more expensive.
The biggest danger for lions is loss of habitat.
This lion was wild and was seemingly drawn out of the park illegally which is a shame.
Having a sustainable hunting business as horrible as it may seem to many is one of the best ways of having endangered species numbers kept stable.Comment

I didn't realise that that sort of big game hunting still went on except in special circumstances where culling was necessary or else illegal hunting, I thought that the only shooting allowed any more was with cameras.Originally posted by Sickpuppy View Post
That kind of safari is very expensive at 500 - 1K per person but if there are people who are willing to pay 50K to shoot a lion then they are going to be looked after.Turning millions into thousandsComment

Here is what he said today about it:Originally posted by ArmaniJeans View Post
Like millions around the world, I was saddened to read that a beloved lion, called Cecil, was shot and killed by an American hunter in Zimbabwe. In 2007 I spent a couple of weeks in South Africa making a documentary about trophy hunting, Louis Theroux's African Hunting Holiday. I also wrote a short piece about the experience (see below).
The killer of Cecil has been revealed as Walter Palmer, a dentist and father of two from Minnesota. Palmer has since apologized for shooting Cecil, saying he didn't realize that the lion had a name or that he was breaking the law by killing an animal that had been coaxed away from the game reserve it lived on.
To which one is tempted to respond, well, maybe you should have known.
Like Vincent Van Gogh, Cecil the Lion has enjoyed a fame in death that surpasses anything he experienced in life. He became a hashtag and trended on twitter. Continuing the social media theme, many of those outraged by Palmer took aim at his dental practice, flaming it with bad reviews on Yelp.
If nothing else, Palmer has finally learned what it means to be the prey of an incomprehensible force much larger and more powerful than himself.
What struck me reading the coverage was how similar he was in certain respects to many of the Americans I met in South Africa. They too were bowhunters from the mid-West, a place where there is a robust hunting culture, directly mainly at the large populations of deer.
And like Palmer, some were involved in a years-long effort to bag as many big-ticket trophies as possible, a bit like trainspotters ticking locomotives off a list, only with more death.
However, unlike Palmer, my hunters had taken the lower-budget option of hunting animals on game farms - creatures that are privately owned and that have been raised from birth for the purpose of being stalked and killed. This has the advantage (to the hunter, though not to the animal) of being both more affordable (in 2007, a porcupine for $250; $14,000 for a buffalo; and so on through a menu of semi-wild creatures) and also a fair bit easier: you won’t have to track your quarry for days because, basically, they’re fenced in.
The fact that Palmer shot Cecil with a crossbow is worth noting.
In some hunting circles, bow-hunting is viewed as superior to hunting with guns. It requires more skill. I also heard it said that animals on game farms where hunting with guns is prohibited are much less stressed because they never have to hear the ear-splitting reports of firearms.
However, this hardly applies to Cecil since he lived in Hwange National Park.
The other salient fact about bowhunting is that, because it’s harder, it is arguably more likely to lead to an injured animal and a protracted death – which helps to explain the fact that Cecil, having been dinged with the crossbow, was tracked for 40 hours before being dispatched with a firearm.
While you might be able to make a case for bow-hunting deer, to do with local traditions, hunting for food, and so on, really, there is no reason to bow-hunt a lion other than showing off.
I think the idea is that you are pitting yourself against a fearsome creature armed only with a hand-powered and relatively primitive weapon. But this is pretty bogus, since the only bow-hunter who faces a lion is going to have men with guns, loaded and cocked, standing either side of him in case something goes wrong.
Though I am a non-hunter, I try not to be censorious about hunting. As a meat-eater and a participant in a food supply chain that involves practises that are too hideous to bear thinking about (eg. the mass grinding up of baby chicks - you can watch it on youtube if you're in the mood) I'm aware that any criticism I might make of hunting runs the risk of being massively hypocritical.
I'm also aware that many hunters are heavily involved in conservation and that in general you can't subtract death from existence, unless you become a Jain with a special strainer to save the insects that drop into your soup. However, there are just so many details here that rub me the wrong way: the laundry list of animals on Palmer's kill list; how, in one of his photos, he's standing with his shirt off, the sun glinting off his biceps, holding a dead leopard; the fact that Cecil the lion was wearing a GPS tag when he was killed.
It’s an uncomfortable possibility that there may be as many nincompoops among the forces arrayed against hunting as there are in the okay-with-hunting camp. And even among the anti-hunters there is a recognition of the inconsistency of kicking up a fuss over this or that named specimen of big game while less photogenic creatures go to their extinction unmourned.
But, whether or not it’s inconsistent, animals like Cecil - termed “charismatic megafauna” by some conservationists – are a convenient rallying place for those of us who think we owe animals more consideration.
And so while a little part of me feels for Walter Palmer, as he’s tracked and pursued through his own 40 hours of hell, the greater part of me mourms Cecil.Comment

Some of the lads I train with dont eat beforehand as well but will take a coffee to get the metabolism going.Originally posted by tylerdurden94 View PostFor those of you into cycling or fitness could do with picking your brain, for the last while when out cycling try to get out early in the morning and skip having something to eat before hand, gonna try and up my distance a little bit have generally been doing around 15ish miles but today I hit nearly 24, felt pretty decent getting home but what could I be doing to keep energy levels up while out on the bike? Only have 1 700ml bottle of water to do me have to figure out a way of getting a second bottle mounted to my bike, have one of the smaller frames which doesn't incorporate a second holder.
I personally can't go out without something in my belly. I find porridge is great and with a couple of boiled eggs provides great slow releasing energy. You definatly want to avoid fatty foods and big meals 3 hrs+ prior to a ride. Veggy Juices are a great pre ride drink, beetroots a great one for endurance spins.
On the bike, you want to eat and drink a little often. If you feel hungry/thirsty on the bike its too late. You should be going through 1 of those bottles every hour and try to eat something every 1/2 hour. Bananas are great, i like the trek oatmeal bars you can get in health food stores, fig rolls are great source of energy and fit handy into the back pockets but can be a little dry.
If you cant get a 2nd bottle cage on the frame you can mount one rear facing on the saddle http://www.wiggle.com/tacx-bottle-cage-saddle-mount/
One of my bottles is just water and the other i pop in a high 5 zero cal electrolyte tablet.
I think you should try to avoid the energy gels, id never use them in training,only for race days when your putting serious efforts in and can't get enough sugars in. If your just gradually increasing your efforts and distances there's no need for the gels. But if you do decide to hit the hills and put in a big day they are handy for emergencies. Also you can plan your rides to stop off at a garage/coffeshop 1/2 way round to refill bottles + refuel.
Don't forget to replenish and reward yourself after. Get some carbs/proteins into you post ride. High5 do post ride recovery drinks but they say chocolate milk can be just as good.
