Ken, I partly agree with you, it is within our instinct to hunt for food, and I have no argument with that. My argument is more around the type of person that hunts for fun and had no regard or...

Well thought out and constructed response...if you read my earlier post I stated that hunting for food was ok, that is what predators do.

There is nothing 'Politically Correct' about wanting to protect wildlife. As a so called intelligent species it should be within our nature to protect wildlife, just as it is to protect one and...

....or hunters if they are killing lions then...

So wht would you consider to be a varmint and how does that relate to big game hunting?

Just making the point that if game hunters feel it is ok to kill 'dangerous' animals that it logically follows that it should also be valid to kil the 'dangerous' hunters.

And humans are also really nasty animals..

Lions hunt to eat, that does not make them nasty. They do not hunt for fun like we do. Usually a lion will not kill its own cubs. Male lions who take...

The only time it should be valid to shoot another animal is ;
1. If it is in pain and cannot be cured.
2. For conservation purposes (i.e. numbers growing out of control and killing off the...

Nice to see a balanced view from someone who seems to understand the issues facing africa. My issue is that I really cannot understand those that do get off on shooting wildife or those that do it...

'Dangerous game' huh!!!!! how do you define 'dangerous'? Nothing more dangerous than some idiot with a hunting rifle killing for so called sport. So can I go shoot game hunters (I wish!!!).

I do not think that it is the image or what it was taken with that is the issue here. What is an issue is why this is deemed newsworthy at all.

PS The image quality does look pretty dubious).

Why would anyone think anyone else is interested in 'lifeblogging', maybe I have underestimated just how vain people are. I think the only people who will wear these things will be sad social misfits.

The photographs are nice however dont for one second think that this was an act of anything other than selfishness and stupidity. There is a ban on people trampling over these monuments for a...

Oh no, I have seen one and do not have one....am I gonna die???

Reading some of the recent articles on here about pro photographers using iPhones I thought they would all be ditching their pro Nikons and Canons for smart phones...come on Dean and John...get...

My first impression was that this was tone mapped and I think that sort of detracts from the feel of the photograph. It should look grittier and not processed at all.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Mobile photography has been around for years. My DSLR is mobile, compact cameras are mobile, phones with cameras are mobile.

It would take courage if the...
