Cbl can obviously vary but they are still raised for the same purpose, which is void of any conservational value.
When Cecil is mentioned in support of CBL, it’s never mentioned the documentary Blood Lions was released the same month. Cecil gave them a name, but that documentary gave the ammunition.
I cannot believe somebody can be so clueless as to book a cbl hunt not knowing what it entails....seriously....and then be so gullible to believe they are suddenly hunting a wild lion that craled the fence from Botswana but I suppose that happens.....
Id actually really like to see verification of this if this is true. If paperwork is signed stating the lion was released on this date from this facility then it’s then the hunter cannot say he didn’t know full details of the hunt. However, I’d assume it’s standard liability agreement without knowing more.
Well to be fair, these were the same lions that didn’t jump into rocky areas so they don’t break a nail.
If someone today believes a problem lion suddenly crossed from Botswana and they were offended the hunt at CBL prices then they are a fool, however before this practice was exposed any marketing lie could be told. As much as I disagree with this practice it may be one of the more honest put and take hunting opportunities available today, if the right questions are asked.
I said something like “if you hunt cbl you are a tool of the antis”.
It is in the SAPA documentation so perhaps a email to them could reveal a copy of said contract that the client needs to sign can be optained.
I think that’s how this whole thing started. This thread had died a few days before someone had some bourbon.
So farm raised Buffalo and PG is ok then?
Yeah, but if you go to the Kuche Safari thread it’s the same people there making the same arguments. It’s a trend.
I have no interest in it and think they should be marketed honestly, but if someone wants to hunt put and take plains game I don’t care. I don’t think it’s detrimental to hunting like shooting CBL lions that are also bred for cub petting and lion bone industries. Now, my question, have you visited a CBL lion breeding facility? I think that would change many hunter’s opinions if they saw what they don’t want to see and not only the tracking experience 7 days later.
Perhaps some here who have partisipated can elaborate?
I disagree with put and take hunting regardless of its kuche safaris or CBL. However, the kuche thread is about better opportunities for the same experience and same pricing. CBL threads give someone an understanding there is more to CBL than just the tracking experience. However, it’s the same in that people who have participated and enjoyed the experience don’t want to ask questions that might change their perception.
Would you know if these threads didn’t exist? Did you sign paperwork at start if your hunt stating clearly it was a farm raised lion as IvW said? Many have gone on put and take buffalo hunts without realizing. The amount of discussion around CBL has created at least some honesty in that industry because it’s difficult to hide now.
