The only instance in which an officer should ever be firing a weapon in the field is to stop a target that is posing an immediate and lethal threat. In that situation, shooting to …

Because, over the long term, a single lion is infinitely more important to the survival of our own species/planet than a single human or even several million of them.

The hunt was illegal, hence both "guides" being imprisoned in Zimbabwe. The chance that a single penny went to helping the country or its people is precisely zero.

There is no "their" and "our" problems - extinction affects humanity on a global level.

I don't believe the majority of people take issue with hunting solely because the animal is "beautiful". Not many people seem to have a problem with hunting deer for meat or to reg…

According to this article, there's evidence to suggest that keeping orcas in captivity is detrimental to their well being. Why does having that evidence suddenly mean having an opi…

>What changed? I hit my forties It's pretty well documented that people in your age group are generally early risers and that people in young adulthood tend to be night owls. Getti…

The mentality of people who support this kind of environmental destruction is baffling. "I have the right to a profitable business even if it means slaughtering an entire species t…

This is definitely true. I've been labeled on occasion as "not passionate" for not being willing to work myself into the ground at 60+ hours a week with a four hour round trip comm…

Nice writeup, with the exception that you should never, ever "love something so much you'd do it for free" in a professional setting. I get that the intention behind the statement …

I love the stereotypical NYC snobbery and unapologetic narcissism at the beginning of the article. As if living in one of the boroughs with eight and a half million other people so…

I work in Manhattan and visit fairly shitty areas of Brooklyn and Queens regularly. These past few weeks have been the first time since I moved here that I've felt safe in the pres…
