It doesn't say anything was banned just that canned hunts were abolished, which really isn't that big of a deal.

Here we go again!

History is repeating itself and we have already forgotten the disaster at Kaibab and turned a blind eye!

My understanding of the reason behind the archery ban in South Africa and other countries in Africa was that some animals were just too big to die quickly with an arrow. I have two examples I have recently watched on tv. First a guys shoots an elephant then quickly follows up with a rifle to finish him off. Whether you beleive it to be bow hunting or not the question remains, why shoot it with an arrow in the first place. Second, While I saw a giraffe shot with a bow and it took forever to die.

Are some animals too large for arrows? Evidently RSA thinks so.

Just because you can afford to go to africa to hunt doesn't mean you're a good hunter. Perhaps some of these "slob' hunters are to blame, i don't know. In my home state legislation just passed to EXPAND bowhunting oppurtunities! With a many dems onboard. imagine that.
