The A***oles didn't fall far from the tree: Trumps sons pose with their dead animals
By MEGHAN KENEALLY
PUBLISHED: 17:54 EST, Grizzly photos have surfaced of Donald Trump's millionaire sons smiling broadly next to the dead carcasses of wild animals that they shot while on a big game hunt in Africa. Though the two men- Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump- deny any wrong doing and proudly argue that they are hunters, many animal rights advocates are taking jabs at the pair. In one of the photos, 34-year-old Don holds the sawed off tail of an elephant and another the knife that likely cut it.

...There are more worthy things to get upset about and this is part and parcel of things worthy of getting upset about, as it is pretty likely these chaps were being profited off of by the lackeys of brutal dictator. I presume you've heard of Mr. Mugabe and ZANU-PF?
Inside the hidden links between American big-game hunters and Zimbabwe’s Mugabe dictatorship.
By Joshua Hammer Newsweek Updated: 5:58 p.m. ET Jan. 13, 2006 Jan. 13, 2006 - Jocelyn Chiwenga is not a woman to be taken lightly. The wife of Gen. Constantine Chiwenga, commander-in-chief of Zimbabwe’s army, Mrs. Chiwenga has earned a reputation in her own right as a vicious enforcer for President Robert Mugabe and his ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Popular Front (ZANU-PF). In April 2002 she reportedly showed up at a farm outside Harare, the capital, with an armed gang and ordered the farm’s white owner to turn over his property to her or be killed, according to documents filed in a Zimbabwean court. One year later, Chiwenga accosted Gugulethu Moyo, an attorney for a pro-opposition newspaper, and beat her so severely that she had to seek medical attention. “Your paper wants to encourage anarchy in this country,” Chiwenga reportedly shouted as she punched and slapped the 28-year-old lawyer on a Harare street. “Chiwenga is as close to the center of power as you get,” says David Coltart, a parliamentarian and leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, the country’s main opposition party. She also knows how to use her power. About three years ago, Chiwenga won an auction for a coveted lease on a 220-square-mile tract of bush, owned by Zimbabwe’s Parks and Wildlife Authority, located just outside Hwange National Park in southwest Zimbabwe. Abounding in the Big Five—lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and black rhino—Chiwenga’s property has since become a choice destination for professional hunters, particularly well-heeled Americans. Now, Chiwenga’s business ambitions—as well as her political clout—have brought her to the attention of the U.S. government. Last November, the Treasury Department added Chiwenga, 50, to a list of 128 Mugabe relatives and cronies who are “undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe.” The Treasury Department has blocked the assets of those on the list and established penalties of up to $250,000 and 10 years’ imprisonment for anyone who does business with them. And that executive order has put dozens, if not hundreds, of Americans who hunt on her land in legal jeopardy. Chiwenga’s sanctioning by the U.S. government has drawn new attention to the unsavory, and usually hidden, links between American sportsmen and the Mugabe dictatorship. During the past six years, Zimbabwe’s economy has been in free fall, with the country’s gross domestic product dropping by half and agricultural production sinking by more than 80 percent. But hunting has remained one of the country’s few thriving industries, bringing in as much as $30 million annually, according to conservationists and professional hunters in Zimbabwe. Much of that cash has gone into the coffers of ZANU-PF insiders, who have gained control of government-owned safari land at below market prices, reportedly through rigged auctions in many cases. One of Chiwenga’s neighbors in the Victoria Falls area is Webster Shamu, Mugabe’s Minister of Policy Implementation, and a key architect of Operation Murambatsvina—“Clean out the Rubbish”—the brutal slum clearance program that has left some 700,000 poor black Zimbabweans homeless. (Shamu is among the original 77 insiders who had their assets frozen and were barred from entering the United States by the Treasury Department in 2003). Another big player is Jacob Mudenda, the former governor of Matabeleland North. All of them do a brisk business catering to professional American hunters, who make up about half of the clientele, according to industry insiders. More: http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/jan15_2006.html And in case you know nothing of Zimbabwe, the abstract of the 2011 Amnesty International Annual Report on human rights in Zimbabwe: Police continued to arbitrarily arrest and detain human rights defenders and journalists undertaking legitimate human rights work. There was some loosening of restrictions on the media and Parliament debated a bill to reform the repressive Public Order and Security Act (POSA). Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people faced persecution. The victims of the 2005 forced evictions continued to live in deplorable conditions with some being targeted for eviction or facing the threat of eviction.

I would note that many are annoyed with him not just because he hunted but because he went out of state to kill an animal that he is prohibited from killing in his state. What is your problem with those who find the killing of animals to be despicable? Do you not realize that there are many vegetarians and vegans at DU?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1131 "A safe haven for anyone interested in vegetarianism, veganism, and animal rights, to discuss health and animal related issues, organize, exchange recipes, support each other, and network." Do you not realize that there are many vegetarians and vegans at DU? Sure I do. So what? There are lots of omnivores here as well, I would dare say they outnumber the vegetarians and vegans. I would note that many are annoyed with him not just because he hunted but because he went out of state to kill an animal that he is prohibited from killing in his state. I would note that most were simply mad at him because he killed a mountain lion and posted a picture of it on the internet. The "out of state" thing was simply a pretext for saying that he should be fired (not going to happen, BTW...http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002416351) What is your problem with those who find the killing of animals to be despicable? I don't have the slightest "problem" with them. I do disagree with them, which means I find it an interesting topic to discuss. Don't you find it interesting?

You may interpret it that way if you wish. You'd be wrong, mind you... but you need to understand that many people live very different lives from you and are just as happy. I don't recall ever indicating I thought otherwise...
Anyhoo, I have to catch a flight. Later! |

100. what then is the precise and objective upper limit?
|
If indeed there is a practical limit, what then is the precise and objective upper limit? On what is that limit based? You appear to confuse theoretical and practical for the purposes of your own argument...
In addition, you appear to be consciously and erroneously conflating outrage with simple concern to better validate your own, self-admitted, lack of care for this topic. However, I imagine you will rationalize your own visceral response while minimizing the same in others. It's human nature-- I have empathy and sympathy for it... |

104. Does your empathy and sympathy for my visceral response have an upper limit?
|
Look, terms like "sympathy" and "empathy" are a bit, well...fuzzy. While there are obviously cases where someone has more sympathy that than someone else, there's no way to quantify it as such. To put it another way: If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion. ---Robert A. Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love" (1973) In addition, you appear to be consciously and erroneously conflating outrage with simple concern I'll grant that there's a distinct difference between the two, but the vast majority of posts on this thread are the former rather than the latter. I imagine you will rationalize your own visceral response On the contrary, my responses have been anything but visceral...unlike the outraged "Damn them to Hell!" responses so prevalent on this thread. |

The Donald always struck me as the type to do this kind of stuff and it's no surprise his kids are as arrogant and cocky as he is, and as nearsighted.
There's a guy at my mom's work that does this shit every year. He brings his little kids (OMG). And he's exactly the type of person you'd think would do that. Grade-A asshole, liar, POS. I grew up a few grades below him and knew him well. Him AND his brother are the SAME. Manipulative, abusive, liars. One company Christmas party he was fucking his secretary in the bathroom while his wife (nice lady, knew her too and grew up with her brother) was sitting at the table waiting for him. So this guy has pictures just like these plastered all over his office. Yep, THOSE are the kind of guys who enjoy this shit. |

If they were they would have the "CR" rating. They're classified as "near threatened", which is the second best classification. Limited hunting won't threaten the species. |

I have been reading the posts on this thread and trying to understand all the different angles people have for hating these boys. I am starting to believe the main focus against them is nothing more than class warfare. Dady made lots of money so we must hate them. If this is not the case how come we can find no referrence on these forums to the curious case of Mr. Ngubane from KwaZuluNatal? In the year 2007 Mr. Ngubane was arrested with 58 leopard skins he had poisoned using a nasty chemical called Temik. After being convicted and sentenced to COMMUNITY SERVICE, he was caught in the year 2008 with 92 leopard skins from cats he had poisoned! The entire quota for all of KwaZuluNatal for sustainable harvest of leopard is 5. In a matter of 2 years this one asshole managed to whipe out 30 years of sustainable harvest, and they failed to convict him in 2008. He single handedly has threatened to run a species out of an ecosystem And yall will never say or here anything about him! Why? Because you all are too busy cussing a couple of dorks that you found pictures of.
