Yes indeed. Sorry to have deleted my comment before knowing there had been a response to it. Nothing redeemable about him, for many reasons, and indeed the cowardly act of hunting from helicopter. I think hunting is OK when it's done appropriately. But hunting from a helicopter is a disgrace.

How can you?

It's a wonderful world!

It's possible to be overly sensitive...

There are standards and ethics to hunting. Let's pick one: suppose you're the coward in the helicopter, and you shoot the pig in the leg, but think you killed it. The pig dies three days later, after a long, painful ordeal. (Hunters are expected to make a kill shot.) Many of these clowns in the helicopters are shooting pigs in any part of the body and leaving them to die painfully, in the hundreds. The other ethical issue is that hunting is mainly for the acquisition of food. Hardly any of those helicopter assholes will eat the pigs.

You're sure about that? You didn't even watch the video. The meat is given to worthy causes.

You cannot verify that, Chipit. Does it look like they take their tiny helicopters down to the pigs and pick them up from their remote locations? (No.)

Well good to see someone is opposing the eradication of a destructive invasive species. Now get down to Australia and defend the cane toad.

Come on Chipit - these are really dumb comments...
