Having a Giraffe
BY JOHN NASHOn July 8th, The Maverick published an article by Don Pinnock, a well known Greenie pillock, entitled, with more neck than even his subject, “Giraffes under siege: The silent crisis of trophy hunting and its threat to survival”.
The article is a textbook example of paltering – eco-junk food, fed to non-hunters by snake-oil spinners, eco-mendicants and certain lying UK MPs. It carries a stark warning to the put-upon UK rural community – truth and logic won’t save you from these urban high priests and parasites who make a living out of hate-mongering, and this example will show you why unless you have the guts to expose their lies.
He starts his article with, “..the world’s tallest mammal is being quietly driven towards extinction – not by habitat loss alone, but by the insatiable appetite for trophies that turn gentle giants into rugs and flywhisks”. An impressive three porkies in one sentence – giraffes are (a) not being driven to extinction, they are (b) not being driven to extinction by trophy hunters and (c) there is no insatiable appetite for trophies – the few hunters who can afford giraffe trophies are easily catered for by private hunting reserves in Southern Africa, where giraffe numbers are rising because, in addition to a rug and fly whisk, Pinnock conveniently overlooks the rather more important 800 kgs of precious meat on each impressive beast.
His tall tale continues – “Hunting such a creature seems bizarre. What could be gained from bagging one of Africa’s friendliest wild animals? For some, it’s apparently irresistible”. Hunting a giraffe may be described as bizarre by a deceitful urban pen-pusher with gullible townie readers to hoodwink, but to a whole human, someone who lives a proper life, indoors and out, who participates occasionally in real nature as a human predator rather than simply as an onlooker or twitcher, hunting is something else entirely.
