Mark Sullivan the Expose’

Point of order. On the Hippo charges I saw in the Sullivan videos they were all on land and completely messed up. The Hippo was on land, ornery as can be, suffering from some puncture or slash wound from another hippo. As such, they are sunburned and miserable, yet they cannot go to the water because of a prior wound unrelated to the hunter. This is a common reason to find Hippos on land rather than in the water.

I have no dog in this hunt, but Sullivan is no special magician, he's finding hippos on terra firma for the same reasons we usually do. Chasing them back to water, then forcing them to charge back to the land in this circumstance is all about ego, not about a quick death for the animal.

To the secular humanists reading this, make up your own morality and feel free to love or hate his treatment of his quarry. However, to the followers of western religion Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, I'd remind you that one of the core tenants of the faiths is that we are superior to animals because of our desire to reduce suffering.

Sullivan is the antithesis of the notion of expeditious effort to reduce suffering. Put another way, according to the people of the book, his conduct is unwholesome and animalistic.
@rookhawk - CONGRATULATIONS on finding a way to bring RELIGION into this thread AND You were able to include 3 different religions at that !! Now we can enjoy even more self righteous experts on Ethics AND Religion ——ALL in one Thread``. Maybe there is a “Divine” presence taking over because most of those expressing strong opinions have Never even met MS - but seem to be All Knowing and omnipotent.

Sullivan was the first to introduce religion, a weird sort of “animalistic” version where one conflates the fight or flight response of animals into a false cognitive decision making. No animal decides how they’d prefer to die, contrary to Sullivan’s ethos and all we know about how animals think.

His willingness to elongate the suffering of an animal is incompatible with western religion.
 
No, I assure you, it's not.
I’m deeply hurt ;). I see you deleted the millennial insult lol

I have just watched a half dozen safari videos on YouTube this weekend and most half of them had horrible shots on game! The last one the client put eight rounds through his double and the PH another two on a Bull Elephant. That Elephant took multiple bad shots to the skull and body and they chased it through the bush a ways before finding it still alive but down…
Tell me again how Mark Sullivan is cruel by waiting five to ten seconds and then administering a quick death!?!?!
Yeah right smh

Are there any Mark Sullivan elephant videos? I can only imagine how an ego driven elephant hunt would unfold.
 
I can see you are a member of the MS cult. I am not.
:ROFLMAO: Because you don’t know him, have never talked to him, never hunted with him, have never talked to anyone that has known him, never talked to someone that hunted with him, and I could go on!
But you are an authority on him aren’t you! I’m in no Cult, he’s a friend from Arizona for over 35yrs!
But then I don’t have TDS and MSDS like you! I don’t cast rocks but you sure do dont you!

You avoided the question earlier. Have you ever hunted Africa? I can respect his ability with a double rifle that’s it. His hunting ethics are highly questionable.

That’s well known but yet has nothing to do with Mark. I feel sorry for you, you need a life! You’ve been on AH for four years less than I have but yet posted five times as much? Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands to comment about everything SMH
All this time on here and yet you don’t support the site? Can’t afford $100 for all the talk?

Mark is clearly your African hunting idol. Maybe you’ll have a different view when you hunt Africa the first time.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
